A plastic surgery marketing agency for patients who research for months

Cosmetic surgery patients compare surgeons carefully. They read procedure pages, study before-and-after photos, check credentials and reviews, and often ask AI tools for recommendations. We help your practice come across as a credible, trustworthy option at every step of that research.

Digital marketing for plastic and cosmetic surgeons: what makes the difference

Consultations, not just leads

We qualify demand by procedure, location and budget expectations, track every consultation request to its source and help your coordinator follow up fast.

Compliant before-and-after content

For HIPAA covered entities, which include most surgical practices, patient photos and testimonials are protected health information. We only publish them with a valid written HIPAA authorization, and we keep claims accurate and free of guaranteed results.

Why plastic surgery practices need specialized marketing

Procedure keywords such as “breast augmentation,” “tummy tuck” or “rhinoplasty near me” are among the most competitive in healthcare advertising. Without tight targeting and strong landing pages, budgets disappear fast.

We build one in-depth page per procedure (candidates, technique, recovery, risks, cost factors, financing, FAQs), organized galleries and surgeon bio pages that highlight training and board certification.

We also protect your reputation: an ethical review process, careful replies that never confirm someone is a patient, and no fake or incentivized reviews, which the FTC rule on consumer reviews has prohibited since October 2024.

Be the surgeon AI tools recommend

Prospective patients ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews “how long is tummy tuck recovery” or “best rhinoplasty surgeon in Dallas.” We publish expert, structured content and keep your credentials and practice data consistent online so AI answers are more likely to cite and recommend your practice.

Customers already ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI for a recommendation. Your business should be one of the answers.

Paid campaigns that respect healthcare ad policies

Google’s personalized advertising policy doesn’t allow health-based audience targeting, and ads for cosmetic procedures must also follow its healthcare and sexual content policies, which can restrict body-focused imagery. We build compliant ads that rely on search intent, location and strong landing pages rather than restricted audience targeting.

Your questions, answered

It attracts qualified consultation requests through procedure SEO, Google Ads, a conversion-focused website, social media and reputation management, and it tracks which channels produce booked consultations and surgeries.

Yes, with each patient’s valid written HIPAA authorization for that use, and with photos that are not misleadingly edited. Under the FTC’s Endorsement Guides, results shouldn’t be presented as typical if they aren’t, and Instagram, TikTok and Facebook have their own rules on before-and-after imagery. We help you organize galleries and consent records with your team.

Usually the procedures with the best margin and capacity for your schedule, and where local competition leaves room. We analyze search demand and cost per click in your market before recommending a mix.

Clicks are costly, so precision matters: tight geographic targeting, procedure-specific campaigns, negative keywords and landing pages built for consultations. We report cost per consultation, not just cost per click.

We help you respond calmly, without confirming the person is a patient or discussing any treatment details, and invite them to contact the practice. We never buy, write or suppress genuine reviews; we only flag reviews that violate platform policies.

Yes. We can market non-surgical treatments (injectables, lasers, skin care) alongside surgery, with separate pages and campaigns so each service reaches the right audience.

Accurately and specifically. Name the certifying board, such as the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and check your state’s rules: some states, including California, restrict “board certified” claims to boards recognized by the ABMS or approved by the state medical board. We build surgeon bio pages and directory profiles that reflect your exact credentials.

There’s no one-size-fits-all price: the budget depends on your goals, your market, local competition and the channels that actually make sense for your business (website, SEO, Google Ads, AI visibility). After a free assessment, we send you a detailed, tailored proposal with no commitment. Any ad budget is paid directly to Google or Meta and stays under your control.

It depends on your market and your competition, and no result is guaranteed. Once your accounts are approved, Google Ads can bring in first inquiries within days. SEO and AI visibility take several months to build: we show you the progress every month, with concrete numbers.

It depends on what you need. A website is a one-off project with a clear start and finish. SEO, Google Ads and AI visibility work best over time, but the format and length of the engagement are decided together, based on your goals. In some cases, month-to-month support is possible. Everything is spelled out in writing in our proposal before any work begins.
