Marketing, websites and consult systems built for plastic surgery practices.
Plastic surgery is a considered purchase.
A patient may follow a surgeon for months, study galleries, read forum threads and check financing before paying for a consult, and the patient coordinator then decides whether that consult becomes a surgery date. Marketing that counts form fills misses almost all of that. We build the website, galleries, search and social presence, and the coordinator follow-up system as one path from first visit to booked surgery, with separate funnels for surgical and non-surgical patients. We track consults and surgeries back to their source through HIPAA-aware, server-side measurement, and we write within state advertising rules, platform body image policies and FTC endorsement rules.

Where growth is won or lost in plastic surgery.
A plastic surgery patient rarely decides quickly. Many follow surgeons on Instagram for months, read RealSelf threads, compare galleries, ask friends who had the same procedure and quietly work out financing before they ever call. The consult is a real commitment, often with a fee, and the patient coordinator then carries most of the sale: answering cost questions, sending the quote, walking through CareCredit or Alphaeon, handling the partner who has doubts and scheduling the date. Most lost surgeries are lost in that stretch between a good consult and a follow-up that never happened.
The practice usually runs two funnels whether it plans to or not. Surgical patients want the surgeon, galleries and recovery detail. Non-surgical patients want injectables, lasers and skin care, book faster and come back on an interval. Prior agencies often chased cheap social leads, flooded coordinators with people unprepared for the price and reported cost per lead as if it meant something. Meanwhile platforms restrict body image content, states police board certification wording and the FTC expects influencer relationships disclosed. The practice carries the risk when a vendor gets those wrong.
We build the path from first look to surgery date. Galleries and procedure pages answer the questions patients bring from the forums. Search targets procedure intent, social content is built to platform rules and nurture sequences respect long decisions. Every inquiry lands in Nextech, PatientNow or Symplast with its source, and coordinators get a pipeline with tasks, quote reminders and financing links. Consults and surgeries go back to Google Ads through server-side, HIPAA-aware tracking, with signed BAAs where vendors offer them and no patient information in ad platforms.
The problems we fix in plastic surgery practices.
Lead volume without surgery dates
Cheap form fills from social ads pile up, coordinators chase people who never meant to pay a consult fee, and the report looks healthy while the surgery calendar does not.
Coordinators work from memory
Consult follow-up lives in personal inboxes and sticky notes. Quotes go out, financing questions go unanswered, and patients who needed a second conversation drift to the surgeon who called back.
Galleries that do not sell
Galleries are thin, inconsistent or unorganized by body type and procedure. Patients spend more time in them than anywhere else on the site, and they leave to look at another surgeon's work.
Platform and board rules bite
Meta limits before and after and body-focused ad content, many states require board certification claims to name the board, and influencer posts need disclosures. One careless campaign draws rejections or a board complaint.

Demand, search and reputation.
Google Ads and SEO focused on procedure plus location searches, revision and surgeon name queries, with non-surgical treatments run as their own campaigns and budgets.

- Nurture for long decisionsEmail and SMS sequences for opted-in inquiries who are months away: recovery planning, financing, surgeon videos and event invitations, timed to how long patients actually take.
- Surgeon-led videoThe surgeon explaining procedures, recovery and how they plan a result. For many patients this is what earns the consult fee.

What we run the account by
Paid consults booked by source.
Consults scheduled and attended, attributed to the ad, search, profile, referral or social source that produced the inquiry.
Consult to surgery conversion.
Share of attended consults that schedule surgery within a set window, the core measure of coordinator follow-up.
Cost per scheduled surgery.
Media and management cost divided by surgeries scheduled, reported by procedure and by channel.
Inquiry response time.
Minutes from a new inquiry or missed call to the first coordinator contact, measured by source and hour.
Non-surgical rebooking rate.
Share of injectable and laser patients who return on their treatment interval, measured separately from surgery.
Rules we respect
HIPAA and tracking technologies.
HHS guidance flags tracking pixels on pages collecting health information. We use server-side, HIPAA-aware tracking, BAAs where vendors offer them, and keep patient information out of ad platforms.
Board certification claims.
Many state medical boards require certification claims to name the certifying board, and some restrict which boards may be advertised. We build to the strictest rule that applies.
Photo consent and endorsements.
Before and after images need written patient authorization. FTC endorsement rules require disclosing material connections for influencer and patient content, and results shown should not mislead.
Platform body image policies.
Meta and Google restrict before and after imagery, body-focused content and targeting for cosmetic procedures. We design paid creative to current policy and review before each launch.
The plastic surgery playbook.
Trace inquiries to surgeries.
We pull a period of inquiries, consults and surgeries from your CRM, listen to coordinator calls and find where patients drop between first contact, paid consult and surgery date.
Fix the coordinator pipeline.
Inquiry routing, follow-up tasks, quote reminders, financing links and call tracking go in first, with ad pixels off sensitive pages and server-side conversions in place before spend rises.
Build demand by procedure.
Galleries, procedure pages and campaigns launch for the surgeries you most want, with separate non-surgical funnels, social content built to platform rules and nurture for long decisions.
Optimize to booked surgeries.
Bidding and budgets move toward the sources that produce paid consults and scheduled surgeries, reviewed monthly with your coordinators and surgeon against the surgery calendar and open OR time.

Hiring an agency for a plastic surgery business.
- Who should run marketing for my plastic surgery practice?
- A firm that works from inquiry to scheduled surgery, not just ad clicks. We build galleries and procedure pages, run search and social within platform rules, set up the coordinator pipeline in Nextech, PatientNow or Symplast, and send consults and surgeries back to Google Ads as conversions without health details. You see cost per scheduled surgery by source every month.
- How do plastic surgeons get more consults that turn into surgery?
- Qualify before the consult and follow up after it. Publish realistic cost ranges or cost factors, charge a consult fee if it fits your practice, show plenty of consented results, and let the surgeon explain procedures on video. Then give coordinators a pipeline with follow-up tasks and financing links so no quoted patient goes quiet without a second conversation.
- Can plastic surgeons run Meta ads with before and after photos?
- Meta restricts before and after imagery and content that focuses on body image in ads, and enforcement changes over time. Organic posts and your website have more room, though consent and state rules still apply. For paid ads we build creative around the surgeon, education, recovery and the practice, and check current policy before each launch.
- How should we handle influencer and patient content?
- The FTC's endorsement rules require clear disclosure of any material connection, including free or discounted procedures, and results shown should be representative. Patients who appear in content need written authorization. We write disclosure language into influencer agreements, review posts before they go live and keep records of consent and compensation.
- Can we say our surgeon is board certified in ads?
- Usually yes, if it is true and stated precisely. Many states require the certifying board to be named, and some restrict which boards can be advertised. We name the board in every claim, keep credential wording identical across the site, profiles and ads, and flag anything unclear for your counsel because rules vary by state.
