Key reading
Luxury Medical Aesthetic Clinics Los Angeles · Los Angeles · AI Overview · September 14–20, 2026
plasticsurgery.org holds the strongest AI opening share on this market in this card scope, at 15.38%, and is the only actor on the panel to open AI answers in all 7 comparable runs. instagram.com sits in the second position at 11.19%, 4.20 percentage points behind plasticsurgery.org on AI opening share on this market. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined — a structural signal that the opening-control surface for luxury medical aesthetic clinics in Los Angeles is broadly distributed rather than concentrated at the top. The 9 sources behind plasticsurgery.org range from 11.19% down to 2.80%, and the spread between the rank-1 and rank-10 actor is 12.59 percentage points. Across the governed top-10 panel, 1 of the 10 actors opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; 9 opened AI answers in fewer runs.

How the actors read on the surface
Luxury Medical Aesthetic Clinics Los Angeles · Los Angeles · AI Overview · September 14–20, 2026
plasticsurgery.org holds the strongest AI opening share on this market in this card scope, at 15.38%. It is the only actor on the panel to open AI answers in all 7 comparable runs — a presence frequency unmatched by any other domain on this surface during the observed period.
instagram.com records 11.19% AI opening share on this market and sits 4.20 percentage points behind plasticsurgery.org. As a social platform rather than a specialist operator, its rank-2 position on this opening-control rail is a structural feature: AI reaches for a general-purpose platform to open answers on a specialist medical-aesthetic market. instagram.com opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs.
contourologyla.com records 8.39% AI opening share on this market and sits 6.99 percentage points behind plasticsurgery.org. It opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, matching instagram.com on presence frequency while occupying a different surface-role as a niche domain.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov records 8.39% AI opening share on this market, identical to contourologyla.com on the primary metric. It sits 6.99 percentage points behind plasticsurgery.org and opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs. A biomedical-literature domain appearing at this level on a luxury aesthetic-clinic surface is a notable composition detail.
bwaesthetics.com records 7.69% AI opening share on this market and sits 7.69 percentage points behind plasticsurgery.org. It opened AI answers on 4 of 7 comparable runs, a lower presence frequency than the actors ranked above it.
youtube.com records 6.29% AI opening share on this market and sits 9.09 percentage points behind plasticsurgery.org. As a general-purpose platform, it opened AI answers on 4 of 7 comparable runs — a presence pattern that places it alongside bwaesthetics.com in frequency despite a different surface role.
rebeccafitzgeraldmd.com records 4.90% AI opening share on this market and sits 10.49 percentage points behind plasticsurgery.org. It opened AI answers on 4 of 7 comparable runs.

Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Medical Aesthetic Clinics Los Angeles · Los Angeles · AI Overview · September 14–20, 2026
The opening-control surface for this market is dispersed
The opening-control surface for this market is dispersed. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, meaning the tail of the panel carries more cumulative opening volume than the head. Two general-purpose platforms — instagram.com and youtube.com — sit alongside niche domains and a biomedical-literature source, producing a mixed-composition panel. The 9 sources behind plasticsurgery.org range from 11.19% down to 2.80%, and the spread between rank 1 and rank 10 is 12.59 percentage points. Presence frequency splits the panel into a small group that opened AI answers on 6 or 7 of 7 comparable runs and a larger group that opened AI answers on 3 or 4 of 7 comparable runs.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Medical Aesthetic Clinics Los Angeles · Los Angeles · AI Overview · September 14–20, 2026
plasticsurgery.org is the only actor on the panel to open AI answers in all 7 comparable runs. That singular presence frequency, combined with its rank-1 cumulative opening volume, distinguishes it structurally from every other domain on this surface — where the next-highest presence frequency is 6 of 7 comparable runs, shared by instagram.com, contourologyla.com, and pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
Market implication
Luxury Medical Aesthetic Clinics Los Angeles · Los Angeles · AI Overview · September 14–20, 2026
The dispersed shape of this opening-control rail suggests that AI answer openings for luxury medical aesthetic queries in Los Angeles are not funneled through a single authoritative source on this observed surface across the 7-run window. Any actor monitoring its AI opening share on this market faces a surface where cumulative volume is spread across niche domains, platforms, and a biomedical-literature source — making the opening slot a contested position rather than a locked one.

FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share captures which domain is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer — the source AI reaches for first. It is not the same as general citation share, which counts all citations across the full AI answer, and it is not an organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes the AI Overview opening-control rail across 7 comparable scheduled runs in the observation period September 14–20, 2026. This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce a different panel shape.
- Why do contourologyla.com and pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov show the same value?
- Both domains recorded 8.39% AI opening share on this market over the period. The governed tie-break places contourologyla.com at rank 3 and pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov at rank 4; they do not share a rank, but they are tied on the primary metric.
