When AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini answer questions about plastic surgeons in New York, Aristocrat Plastic Surgery comes up most often, earning citations in 25% of relevant AI responses. Park Avenue Plastic Surgery and Umbareen Mahmood, MD also appear regularly across these engines, making all three a reasonable starting point for anyone researching providers in this market.
The rankings reflect which practices have built strong presences on sources AI engines trust most. Google.com leads as a citation source, followed by individual practice websites like aristocratps.com, zuckermanplasticsurgery.com, drschulmanplasticsurgery.com, and newyorkplasticsurgeryallure.com. Unlike many service categories where aggregator and review platforms dominate, AI engines here pull heavily from the practices' own sites, meaning content depth and procedure-specific information carry real weight.
For a buyer using this list, third-party validation still matters. Practices that rank here tend to have detailed procedure pages, consistent recent reviews across platforms, and citations from credible outside sources. Before booking a consultation, check whether a practice has published content specific to your procedure rather than generic information, since AI engines reward that topical focus and it is also a signal the practice has genuine depth in that area.
At a glance
What we observed in this category
Aristocrat Plastic Surgery leads the category with a composite score of 7.5 and a citation rate of 25.0%, more than double the nearest competitors, which all sit at 12.5% citation. The gap is significant because every other ranked brand scores 3.8 or below. Crucially, every brand in the top 10 records 0.0% visibility, meaning the category average visibility is also 0.0%. Aristocrat's lead is built entirely on citation activity, not on AI-generated mentions of the brand by name in responses.
The data reveals a clear split between being cited as a source and being visible as a named brand in AI responses. All 20 tracked brands show 0.0% visibility, yet Aristocrat, Park Avenue Plastic Surgery, Umbareen Mahmood MD, Neinstein Plastic Surgery, and Adam Schaffner MD each carry positive citation scores. This means Google AI Mode is pulling from their domains as reference material without surfacing the brand names directly to users, a pattern that makes citation rate the only meaningful differentiator in this category right now.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all ranked brands, with no outlier engine recorded for any entry. The top cited sources list anchors on google.com, theaestheticsociety.org, and several individual practice domains including aristocratps.com and zuckermanplasticsurgery.com, the latter appearing in citations despite not ranking in the tracked top 10. Two notable fallers, Neinstein Plastic Surgery and Millennial Plastic Surgery, each lost 12.5 percentage points in visibility and dropped from ranks 1 and 2 respectively, suggesting the AI recalibrated its source weighting recently.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →

Neinstein Plastic Surgery and Millennial Plastic Surgery each lost 12.5 percentage points in visibility, falling from ranks 1 and 2 to ranks 4 and 9 respectively. Both now record 0.0% visibility.
Is any engine other than Google AI Mode contributing to visibility in this category?
No. Every brand in the top 10 lists Google AI Mode as its top engine, and the audit records no data from alternative engines for this category.
How concentrated is citation share among the top brands in this category?
Citation is highly concentrated. Aristocrat holds 25.0%, four brands share 12.5% each, and all remaining brands record 0.0%, meaning the bottom half of the tracked set receives no AI citation activity at all.
