Social media has greatly impacted the way of how plastic surgeons are able to market themselves and who they are to their clients. For a practice that is interested in targeting millions of users looking for information on aesthetic procedures, social media is a crucial platform that can serve to build trust from users, provide them with the requisite information, and increase the practice’s clientele.
At Medcast Socials, we specifically focus on healthcare-related social media marketing to ensure that our clients – the plastic surgeons – have a robust social media presence. We stick to an absolutely natural strategy that will bring you constant organic growth.
Aesthetic medicine relies heavily on trust and word of mouth. Having a large number of patients, followers, and advocates also means that people join this platform naturally and are not influenced by paid advertisements.
Thus, regular posting of valuable information in the sphere of plastic surgery, patients’ stories, and opinions of professionals allows the specialists to prove their authority and build strong bonds with the patients. The above-discussed strategies are long-term and natural strategies to achieve high patient engagement, resulting in loyalty and recommendations.
Social networks serve as the perfect base for sharing information on the availability of those or other types of operations with potential clients. Surgical procedures can include rhinoplasty, facial surgery, liposuction, breast enhancement, and non-incisional treatments. If surgeons consider these general patient concerns when preparing for a consultation, patients are calmed due to the decrease in anxiety levels.
The use of before-and-after images and videos of some of the patients works wonders as a form of persuasion; when used with appropriate ‘caveats’ and disposed of ethically, these visuals can go a long way to developing rapport and setting proper expectations. It also helps to establish a surgeon for other aesthetic procedures and showcases the surgeon’s experience in the procedure.
Social media strategies such as video Q&A, live Instagram, and polls can get potential patients involved with your practice. When such myths and misconceptions are erased, the new patient may approach the surgery with full confidence. The best thing is to reply to them regularly and interact with the audience in order to maintain the relations and to update patients.
In aesthetics, it is critical to create and sustain an online image to ensure your establishment captures the right market. Real patient words and stories, as well as the replies of professionals to the reviews, are much more credible and trustworthy. The prevention of negative feedback makes the doctors credible and builds confidence in the patients.
Social media is the next frontier in patient communications for plastic surgery practices.
We have the executive management of social media products on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. This is achieved by the creation and optimization of profiles, reaching out to potential patients, answering their inquiries, and making sure that social media portrays the right picture of your practice and the kind of aesthetic procedures that you offer.
It is essential to develop content that is appealing to the patient’s eye, easy to digest, and informative. We create reels, carousels, infographics, and Q&A in terms of visuals, beauty, and medical experience. In the strategy, some considerations will make the content as relevant as possible, valuable, and more relevant to the target consumer’s tune.
Patient feedback comparisons, questions, and any information related to the team are well maintained to enhance confidence. It helps plastic surgeons be responsive and effective in their professional interactions while responsibly addressing the issues.
Measuring the effectiveness of social media and the community is necessary in enhancing social media strategies. These include detailed reports of how the campaign has been effective, the number of followers, and the level of engagement. The aim and objectives of data-driven analysis are to help characterize the best angle and approach that will reach out to new and existing patients.
The general goal to which everything in our content approach is directed is the education, reassurance, and activation of patients. We post information on different people’s experiences, tips on recovery after the procedure, comments from the experts, and FAQs in order to convince potential clients.
The first step of the content strategy process begins with identifying which area to focus on, as you will likely be treating multiple healthcare issues. To do this, there are three questions to consider:
Once that’s done, we begin with the first area of focus, breaking it down into four main parts of the patient journey:
All the content is generally in a question and answer format, with 3-4 questions in each section, using language that is most relatable to your patients.
We concentrate particularly on social media marketing for plastic surgeons, cosmetic dermatologists, and aesthetic professionals while being conscious of legal issues and focusing on the message quality.
No advertisement–only real, organic, and with no harm to the company, its patients, clients, or the public marketing techniques that take time to create a good image, rapport, and confidence with the clients.
We can assist plastic surgeons in establishing a presence online, increasing patient flows, and portraying them as market leaders with the help of statistics.
Marketing analysis and performance metrics help make and improve the marketing campaign for better results. Through our approach, it is possible to advertise healthcare business without compromising the audience’s trust.
The use of social media platforms assists plastic surgeons in creating awareness, building credibility, promoting practice, and reaching out to many people. It builds trust among the patients and, at the same time, increases the number of booked appointments.
Surgeons should embrace social media, especially Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, as they are quite effective. Such platforms also enable before-and-after presentations, clients’ statements, and live question-and-answer sessions.
We operate under strict ethical standards to satisfy the medical marketing reforms. We respect Patient Identifying information; our information must be accurate, and all the information that is posted should be clear to the readers.
