Weight-loss surgery and breast procedures rated "most worth it" by patients
Sleeve gastrectomy has been named the “most worth it” cosmetic procedure of 2020 by cosmetic treatment information resource and consumer review website RealSelf.
The website released its 2021 Most Worth It Ranking list of the top 20 highest-rated procedures last year.
Sleeve gastrectomy weight-loss surgery, whereby a large portion of the stomach is removed to reduce its original size, came out on top, with 100% of patients from 63 eligible reviews saying it was “worth it”.
Breast procedures appeared most frequently on the list, accounting for eight of the surgeries in the top 20 – gynecomastia surgery, implant removal, breast reduction, breast implants, breast augmentation, Natrelle (“gummy”) breast implants, breast reconstruction and the “mommy makeover” which typically includes breast enhancement.
To be recognised in the top 20 a procedure had to have more than 50 reviews written between 1 January and 31 December 2020 and have earned a minimum cumulative “worth it” rating of 90% in that period.
RealSelf chief executive James Coyle commented, "During an unprecedented year, consumers relied on RealSelf more than ever to gain valuable insights they can trust, including how satisfied real patients are with their cosmetic procedure results.”
"Our annual Most Worth It list highlights the best of the best, with a straightforward look at the top-rated aesthetic procedures — based solely on Worth It Ratings from real patients."
