How a plastic surgery sale works
How do I sell a plastic surgery practice?
To sell a plastic surgery practice, get a confidential valuation, organize your case volume, procedure mix, consultation-to-surgery conversion, marketing and patient data, plan how your reputation, patients and any surgical suite will move to the new owner, market the practice to qualified buyers under NDA, compare letters of intent, then manage diligence through closing.

What buyers look at
What do buyers look for in a plastic surgery practice?
Plastic surgery buyers look hardest at how much the practice depends on the founding surgeon, case volume and mix, how patients find you, the in-office surgical suite, other surgeons and providers, and clean financial records.
Surgeon dependence
The biggest risk buyers see is a practice built on one surgeon's name, so a plan for continuity matters most.
Case volume and mix
Steady volume across breast, body and face procedures, with good consultation conversion, supports a stronger price.
Patient acquisition
Reviews, referrals and marketing that bring patients to the practice, not only to you, make revenue more transferable.
Surgical suite
An accredited in-office operating suite adds earnings and control over scheduling and costs.
Other providers
Associate surgeons, nurse injectors and aestheticians who stay add revenue that does not depend on you.
Clean records
Clear case logs, financials and patient records protect the price when a buyer reviews the practice.
Plastic surgery practice valuation
How is a plastic surgery practice valued?
A plastic surgery practice is valued on its earnings: single-surgeon practices are usually priced on seller's discretionary earnings (SDE), and multi-surgeon groups on a multiple of adjusted EBITDA. The more the practice depends on the founding surgeon's name, the more buyers discount it or tie part of the price to your staying on. Plastic surgery practice valuation guide →
Multi-surgeon groups
A multiple of adjusted EBITDA
Earnings are restated with surgeon pay at market rates. Several surgeons, an accredited suite and non-surgical revenue push the multiple up.
Single-surgeon practices
SDE, adjusted for surgeon dependence
Buyers pay less for revenue tied to one surgeon. A transition plan and other providers before you sell can change the number.
Your number depends on your practice. A free valuation looks at your surgeons, cases, surgical suite and patient flow, and gives you a realistic range before you talk to any buyer.

Who buys plastic surgery practices?
Plastic surgery practices are bought by private equity-backed aesthetic and plastic surgery platforms, larger plastic surgery groups, multi-specialty and surgical groups, and individual surgeons ready to own a practice.
Aesthetic platforms
Private equity-backed groups building regional or national plastic surgery networks, usually with a role and equity for you.
Plastic surgery groups
Established groups adding surgeons, locations and surgical capacity.
Surgical groups
Multi-specialty and surgical groups adding plastic surgery for their patients.
Individual surgeons
Surgeons ready to own a practice, often a younger associate or a surgeon relocating to your market.
Timing your exit
How long will I need to stay after selling my plastic surgery practice?
It depends on the buyer and how much the practice depends on you: platforms often ask the founding surgeon to stay for several years and tie part of the price to performance, while a surgeon buying the practice may only need a transition period to introduce patients.
- Plan continuity earlyAdding an associate surgeon before you sell can raise the price and shorten how long you need to stay.
- Compare earnouts carefullyPrice tied to future results is only worth what you can realistically earn.
