How practices explain the decisions around surgery
A prospective patient has more to resolve than which procedure to choose. These eight examples address planning, expectations, the consultation and the experience around surgery. We chose them for the creative decisions a practice can learn from and test.
Explore the ads- #1
Make the planning process visible
EDEN shows a surgeon explaining a plan beside the patient; Okland puts a simulation beside photographs. The useful lesson is to explain the process while keeping projected and observed images clearly labeled.
- #2
Use patient stories for specific questions
AirSculpt organizes a creator’s account around one treatment area, Vado gives a longer personal account, and Maercks shows a follow-up conversation. Each creates a different place to discuss the experience.
- #3
Match the next step to the message
Dr. Triggs introduces a sizing question and New You explains what the consultation covers. We would judge tests by the quality of consultations they produce, alongside the attention they earn.

EDEN Plastic Surgery Miami
Pamela’s Natural Refresh ✨ At 60-years-young, Pamela from Oklahoma came to Eden ready for a beautiful, natural transformation.…
Creative pattern
Show the plan being explained
EDEN’s surgeon speaks beside a patient with visible facial markings and demonstrates the intended areas of change. The patient participates in the exchange, so the planning conversation becomes the creative.
Creative read
A consultation can supply a clear visual sequence: introduce the question, point to the relevant area and explain the plan. We would retain the patient’s questions as well as the surgeon’s answer.
What to test
Compare a short planning explanation with a provider-only explanation of the same procedure. Measure consultation bookings and the questions those inquiries bring to the practice.

The Maercks Institute
✨ Revision Journey | Why Transparency Matters ✨ One of the hardest parts of revision surgery isn’t correcting…
Creative pattern
Let a follow-up conversation carry the story
The Maercks Institute shares a video call between a surgeon and a revision-facelift patient. Their conversation moves from her earlier experience to the planning discussion and her account after surgery.
Creative read
A follow-up has a different narrative purpose from a polished endorsement. It gives the patient room to explain what mattered to her and gives the provider a specific question to answer.
What to test
Create a shorter edit centered on one patient question, keeping enough context to preserve her meaning. Compare it with the longer conversation using retention and qualified consultation inquiries.

Dr. Triggs Miami
Considering breast augmentation? At NewMe Plastic Surgery in Miami, Dr. Triggs designs natural-looking, proportionate results tailored to you…
Creative pattern
Open with the question behind the size question
Dr. Triggs opens his breast-implant video by challenging the idea that size is the only decision. He then discusses proportions before closing with a consultation invitation.
Creative read
One common question can structure an entire provider-led ad. The opening, explanation and invitation all belong to the same topic, making this a repeatable interview format.
What to test
Compare a direct patient-question opening with the misconception-led opening. Keep the explanation and consultation offer identical, then compare the quality of booked inquiries.

Okland Facial Plastic Surgery
Get your dedicated, personalized consultation with Dr. Okland to find the perfect nose for you.
Creative pattern
Separate the starting point, simulation and outcome
Okland’s static creative places a preoperative profile, a surgical simulation and a postoperative profile in three labeled panels. The sequence makes the difference between planning imagery and an observed photograph visible.
Creative read
Labels do essential work in a comparison layout. A simulation should be clearly identified as a planning image, with the patient photographs carrying their own context.
What to test
Compare a labeled three-panel image with a short narrated explanation using the same approved case. Evaluate comprehension and consultation quality; have the practice verify the case context before reuse.

AirSculpt
Two years ago, I made one of the most life-changing decisions for my confidence 🤍
Creative pattern
Keep the story focused on one treatment area
AirSculpt’s creator discusses her experience with arm treatment and moves between direct-to-camera speech and everyday outfit footage. The story keeps returning to the same body area and her own reasons for choosing the procedure.
Creative read
Specificity gives a personal account a thread to follow. We would preserve concrete experience details and keep the narrator’s individual outcome separate from what future patients should expect.
What to test
Compare a practical experience-led opening with a lifestyle-led opening from the same account. Use qualified consultations as the outcome, supported by viewing-retention data.
Creative teardown
Vado Plastic Surgery
Brittany's Story ❤️ "My life has changed a lot." At Vado, it’s more than just a physical transformation…
Creative pattern
Give the patient time to explain the decision
Vado’s patient account describes changes after having children, her attempts to address them and her decision to seek a consultation. The longer format leaves space for motivation and experience before the closing recommendation.
Creative read
A decision story needs more than a result reveal. The patient’s reasons and questions can supply useful material for several focused edits, each addressing a different consideration.
What to test
Build one edit about the decision to book and another about the appointment experience. Keep each patient statement in context and compare consultation quality across the two messages.
Creative teardown
Rowe Plastic Surgery
Oversized breasts are a real medical condition that causes serious medical issues. If you or a loved one…
Creative pattern
Move from patient voices to a provider explanation
Rowe combines several patient accounts of physical discomfort with a surgeon discussing breast reduction. The ad later introduces insurance coverage and ends with practice contact information.
Creative read
Multiple voices can introduce a shared consultation question before the provider responds. We would borrow that sequence while requiring precise, substantiated wording for any insurance statement.
What to test
Compare a patient-led opening with a provider-led opening on the same consultation topic. Track relevant inquiries and completed consultations, with coverage questions handled through the practice’s normal verification process.
Creative teardown
New You Plastic Surgery
At New You Plastic Surgery, our consultations address more than just your anatomy- we believe in truly understanding…
Creative pattern
Give the consultation an agenda
New You’s provider explains that the consultation includes the patient’s history, anatomy and personal circumstances. The simple direct-to-camera format makes the appointment itself the subject of the ad.
Creative read
An invitation to book becomes more specific when the viewer knows what will be discussed. We would turn that agenda into concise, readable on-screen points.
What to test
Compare an agenda-led cut with the provider’s introductory cut. Hold the booking offer constant and measure completed appointments and attendance.
