# Best Plastic Surgery in Mt. Pleasant / Charleston, SC by AI Recommendation - September 2026

ARO Index measures which plastic surgery providers in Mt. Pleasant / Charleston, SC are actually recommended by AI assistants, not which ones advertise or game citations. This ranking tests each business across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity using cold, single-turn queries and assigns an ARO Score from 0 to 100 based on recommendation strength and consistency. All 6 businesses below were audited through September 30, 2026.

We are rolling out v3 scoring, which measures AI recommendations with live web retrieval on all four models. v2 and v3 scores appear together during the transition and are not directly comparable. Businesses are re-scored as v3 audits complete. [Learn more](https://aroindex.com/methodology#model-access-surface)
