Cosmetic Procedure Pricing: How City, Surgeon & Keyword Shape Cost Perception
How much does cosmetic surgery really cost in your city?
This Aesthetic Match study analyzed 18 price-related keywords across six cities — like “cheap lipo Dallas” and “BBL cost Miami” — and compared search behavior with real surgeon quotes and RealSelf averages. Surprisingly, “cheap” keywords often led patients to higher-than-average priced surgeons, while “luxury” keywords like “Beverly Hills facelift price” drove the lowest bounce rates despite premium fees.
🧪 Key Metric: Δ-Cost = (Surgeon Avg – RealSelf Avg) / RealSelf Avg
📍 Cities Covered: Miami, Dallas, Houston, Tampa, Los Angeles, Atlanta
📊 Data Sources: Google Keyword Planner, GA4, RealSelf averages, and 120 surgeon pricing pages
