Consider these the Amazon ratings of plastic surgery procedures. Courtesy of RealSelf, the percentages that follow reflect what former patients have said as to whether a plastic surgery procedure was worth it or not.
These numbers essentially answer the question: “Would you return it if you could?”
While the expertise and results of plastic surgeons greatly vary, these numbers may yet help you get an idea of how likely you are to appreciate the results of a plastic surgery procedure or a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure.
Consider adding this crucial bit of information to your decision-making process.
Its most valuable use is probably in comparing procedures within the same class, to help you answer such questions as whether to get a surgical or non-surgical procedure of the same kind, or whether to do a full or mini tummy tuck, facelift, etc.
