This list reveals the 20 Most Worth Ittm procedures1 of the year, as determined by real patients on RealSelf.com.
The RealSelf Worth It Rating is a proprietary consumer satisfaction score based on thousands of reviews from consumers on RealSelf who, after undergoing a treatment, rated it as “Worth It” or “Not Worth It.”
Male surgical procedures, breast-related surgeries, injectables earn highest consumer satisfaction In comparison to past rankings, there are a few unpredicted procedure contenders that vied for the Most Worth It 2021 in both the nonsurgical and surgical categories. Weight loss is front and center, as sleeve gastrectomy achieved a 100% Worth It Rating. Breast surgeries continue to dominate the list, accounting for eight of the Most Worth It 2021 list. Breast implant removal and breast reduction procedures both accumulated a 98% Worth It Rating.
Included in the top 10 are two typically male-focused procedures — gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, which garnered the #2 spot and a 99% Worth It Rating, and FUE Hair Transplant at #7, with a 97% Worth It Rating.
This year two injectables made the Most Worth It 2021 list, with Dysport (96% Worth It Rating), a neurotoxin that’s commonly used to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and frown lines, earning the spot as the top-ranking cosmetic injectable, edging out more well-known brands like Botox, which is #18 (94% Worth it Rating).
