For cosmetic surgery practices

Plastic surgery consultation booking, handled with care

Your own website where prospective patients read about procedures, request a consultation with your surgeon, and hear back from a named member of your team.

Assistant and booking · Demo clinic

Someone considering rhinoplasty or a breast procedure has usually thought about it for a long time. When they finally reach out, often late at night and often privately, the way your practice responds shapes whether they ever come in for a consultation.

Velvet Lead builds your practice website and the system behind it: procedure pages written by your surgeons, a consultation request page, online booking for consultations if you want it, an AI assistant that answers practical questions without giving advice, and a lead inbox where every inquiry has an owner and a next step.

Where surgical consultations get lost

  • Sensitive inquiries in a shared inbox

    A detailed message about a procedure arrives in an Instagram DM or a general email address. Several people see it, nobody owns it, and the reply is either late or never sent.

  • Patients who need time, and a nudge

    Most prospective patients don't book on first contact. Without a follow-up date, a thoughtful patient who asked to be contacted in a few weeks is simply forgotten.

  • Unclear marketing spend

    Ads and social content bring inquiries, but when a consultation eventually happens, nobody can trace it back to the campaign that started the conversation.

How Velvet Lead helps

How Velvet Lead supports a surgical practice

Built for consultation-first procedures, patient coordinators and the long gap between first message and first visit.

  • Consultation requests, not surgery bookings

    Mark each procedure as consultation required and switch online booking off. Patients send a consultation request, or book the consultation itself if you allow it. Nobody books surgery from a web page.

    Online booking: how it works
  • Every lead assigned to a person

    Assign each inquiry to a patient coordinator, add notes and set a follow-up date. The pipeline runs from new to contacted, qualified, and booked or lost with a reason.

    Lead inbox: how it works
  • Reply speed you can see

    The system measures how quickly your team first contacts each lead. Team members get new-lead alerts by email, and patients get an automatic reply confirming their request arrived.

    Email notifications: how it works
  • An assistant that knows its limits

    The AI assistant answers from your practice information: consultation fees, surgeon profiles, location, business hours and FAQs. It doesn't comment on suitability, risks or results, and it offers a callback request when a question needs a person.

    AI assistant: how it works
  • Access that matches each role

    Add your team by email as admin, manager, practitioner or front desk. Each person only sees what their role allows, enforced by the database, and you can remove access instantly.

AI assistant

What prospective patients ask the assistant

It answers from your procedures, consultation fees, surgeon details, FAQs and documents you upload, such as a consultation guide. It never gives medical advice and never books by itself.

  • How much is a consultation for rhinoplasty?
  • Which surgeon does breast procedures, and when are they available?
  • Can I bring someone with me to the consultation?
  • Would I be a good candidate for liposuction?
  • Where do I park when I arrive?
  • Can I see before and after photos?

Demo clinic assistant

Answers from the clinic's own information

Example conversation
  1. Patient:

    Would I be a good candidate for a tummy tuck? I had a baby last year.

  2. Assistant:

    I'm not able to advise on whether a procedure is suitable for you. That's something the surgeon would discuss with you in person. You can request a consultation on the website, or I can pass on a callback request to the team.

  3. Patient:

    A callback please. Is the consultation free?

  4. Assistant:

    Consultations at this practice have a fee, which is paid at the clinic. I'll pass your callback request to the team so someone can contact you.

Settings

Settings cosmetic surgery practices usually choose

Chosen during setup. Your website wording, booking and inquiry handling follow them.

What staff are called

Doctors

Choose from doctors, clinicians, practitioners or therapists. Surgical practices usually choose doctors, and your About page can introduce each surgeon in your own words.

Consultation required

On for every procedure

Procedure pages point to a consultation rather than a booking slot, which matches how surgical care actually starts.

Consultations free or paid

Your choice, shown site-wide

Patients often ask before anything else. A consultation can carry a deposit through Stripe; otherwise any fee is paid at the practice.

Confirmation mode

Manual confirmation

If you let patients book consultations online, your coordinator reviews each one. Unconfirmed requests expire after the hours you set, and the patient is told kindly.

Legal pages

Privacy policy, terms and medical disclaimer from templates

Filled in with your practice details and editable any time. They are a starting point, not legal advice, so have them reviewed.

Seeing which campaigns bring consultations

Tag your ad and social links with UTM source, medium and campaign. Each lead keeps its tags and links to the booking it became, so reports show leads, consultations and revenue by source and campaign, and the median time to first contact.

For a practice where each consultation matters, that tells you which spend is working and whether your team is replying fast enough.

What this system is not

Velvet Lead handles the website, inquiries, consultation bookings, reminders, consent forms and consultation notes. It doesn't hold surgical records, prescriptions or insurance claims, and it doesn't offer telehealth video. Your own rooms and equipment can be scheduled alongside surgeon time, but it doesn't manage hospital operating rooms, and it covers one practice location per website.

Honest fit

Is Velvet Lead right for your practice?

Right for you if…

  • Prospective patients meet a surgeon one-to-one for consultations at one location
  • You want every consultation inquiry assigned, followed up and tracked to an outcome
  • You want to know which campaigns lead to consultations
  • You want a before-and-after gallery with a consent record

Not right yet if…

  • You need to take full surgery payments online (online payment is limited to booking deposits and gift vouchers)
  • You need hospital beds, or operating room servicing and maintenance records (your own rooms and equipment are scheduled)
  • You operate across several hospitals or locations from one website
  • You need surgical records, e-prescribing or telehealth video

FAQ

Cosmetic surgery practices: common questions

Can patients book surgery through the website?

No, and most practices wouldn't want that. Mark each procedure as consultation required and turn online booking off. Patients request or book a consultation, and surgery is arranged by your team.

Will the AI assistant tell patients if they're suitable for a procedure?

No. It answers practical questions from your practice information, gives no medical advice, and offers a callback request when a question needs a person. It never books by itself.

Can we assign each inquiry to a patient coordinator?

Yes. Assign a lead to a team member, set a follow-up date and add notes. The activity history shows what happened and when.

Is the medical disclaimer ready to publish?

It starts from a template filled in with your practice details, and you can edit it. It's a starting point, not legal advice, so please have it reviewed by a qualified professional.

Can our surgeons operate at a hospital and still use Velvet Lead?

Velvet Lead handles consultations and appointments at one practice location. It doesn't manage hospital operating rooms or hospital calendars, so surgery dates are arranged outside the system.

Can we take a deposit when a patient books a consultation?

Yes. A consultation can carry a deposit that patients pay on Stripe's secure page when they book, through your practice's own Stripe account.
