Meta wins on cost per lead because before/after content sells itself visually. Google costs more and catches the patient closer to booking. Cheap lead or ready lead?

You want both.

Rhinoplasty$7,200
Tummy Tuck$9,500

Why Most Plastic Surgery Practices Can't Break $300K/Month

"Every time we work with a surgeon doing $150K-$300K/month, the same patterns show up..."

What They Think

× "We get enough consultations from word of mouth"
× "Before/after galleries are enough marketing"
× "Our reputation is our brand"
× "We don't need Google Ads -- our patients aren't searching"

What s Actually Happening

✓ Word of mouth tops out. 92% of plastic surgery patients research surgeons online, and that includes the referrals. Weak online presence? You lose patients you never knew existed.
✓ Before/after galleries are the entry fee, not the edge. Every surgeon has them. The top 10% add video testimonials, educational content, and the surgeon's own personality on camera.
✓ Reputation matters. Online, reputation has a number, and that number is your reviews. Surgeons with 200+ reviews and 4.8+ stars get 4x more consultation requests than surgeons with 30 reviews.
✓ 73% of plastic surgery consultations start with a Google search. Your patients are searching. The only question is who they find, you or the surgeon across town.
Data proof: Of the plastic surgery practices we've audited, 72% had no tracking from ad spend to booked procedure. That's $10K-$30K/month going out the door with no idea which patient came from where.
