Whether you look at plastic surgery as a way to boost ego or improve health and comfort, you have to admit it’s fascinating how modern science allows us to change our bodies. To track the most captivating cosmetic procedures out there, a team at HighSpeedInternet.com used Google Trends data to discover what procedure each state was most interested in going under the knife for.

You may have noticed that despite breast augmentation being the most popular surgery last year with 290,467 reported procedures in 2016, it didn’t make an appearance in the search results. Only Kansas seemed interested in searching for it at all.

North Dakota, Maine, Idaho, and Massachusetts look for the answer in Botox, while Minnesota and Wisconsin are searching out dermabrasion. In the Far North, Alaska hopes for help from face-lifts.
