Where Is Facelift Demand Growing Fastest in the U.S.? A Regional Breakdown (2023–2025)

A new research study published on Zenodo by Aesthetic Match dives into facelift search trends across six major U.S. cities on the East Coast, Mid-East, and Southeast. Using search volume data from Google Keyword Planner (August 2023 to July 2025), the study reveals some surprising insights about how interest in facial rejuvenation procedures varies by region.

Key Cities Studied

The six cities included were:

  • New York, NY
  • Boston, MA
  • Philadelphia, PA
  • Washington, D.C.
  • Miami, FL
  • Atlanta, GA

Each city was analyzed for average monthly search volume and year-over-year (YoY) growth for key phrases like facelift, mini facelift, deep plane facelift, and related surgeon-specific terms.

Key Findings: The Southeast Is Heating Up

Unsurprisingly, New York City led with the highest monthly search volume (18,640 searches/month). However, Atlanta and Miami showed the strongest YoY growth at +5.4% and +4.9%, respectively.

That means more people in the South are searching for deep plane facelifts, mini facelifts, and best facelift surgeons near me—suggesting increased awareness and demand in markets that may have previously lagged behind larger metro areas.

On the other hand, Boston showed the flattest growth (+0.5%), possibly reflecting a more conservative approach to elective facial surgery in New England.

Why It Matters for Patients and Providers

Search trends like these serve as a digital snapshot of consumer curiosity—and, often, intent to book a consultation. For patients, the study confirms that facelifts and facial rejuvenation remain widely sought, with growing interest in less invasive approaches like mini facelifts.

For surgeons and aesthetic clinics, understanding regional demand can inform everything from marketing strategy to procedure offerings.

Among the fastest-rising terms were:

  • Deep plane facelift — known for its natural, longer-lasting results
  • Mini facelift — popular among patients seeking shorter recovery times
  • Facelift near me — reflecting local patient search behavior
