Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare my plastic surgery practice for a successful sale?
The preparation process for a plastic surgery practice sale involves four key areas: your financials, your operations, your legal foundation, and your exit timeline. Buyers will analyze years of financial records, assess how dependent the practice is on the selling surgeon, and scrutinize everything from lease terms to employment agreements during diligence. Getting ahead of those areas before going to market is what separates a smooth transaction from one that stalls or retrades. TUSK Practice Sales guides plastic surgeons through this process, backed by more than 200 completed transactions totaling over $1.3 billion in closed deals.
What are common mistakes to avoid when selling a plastic surgery practice?
The most common mistakes in plastic surgery practice sales stem from starting too late and going in without the right representation. Waiting until you are ready to retire to begin exit planning, entering the market with disorganized financials, overlooking legal and compliance issues until they surface in diligence, and accepting an unsolicited offer without running a competitive process are all patterns that consistently produce suboptimal outcomes. TUSK Practice Sales has guided more than 200 healthcare practice owners through this process, totaling over $1.3 billion in closed transactions, and the sellers who achieve the strongest results are those who addressed these areas well before approaching buyers.
How long does it take to sell a plastic surgery practice?
The timeline for selling a plastic surgery practice depends heavily on preparation. A well-prepared practice with clean financials, a stable team, and no unresolved legal issues can move through the process in 6 to 9 months. Practices that go to market before those factors are addressed often take a lot longer and receive more conservative offers along the way. Beyond the sale itself, most buyers expect a transition period of 3 to 5 years post-close, so factoring that into your exit timeline early is important. TUSK Practice Sales manages the full process on behalf of sellers exclusively.
What is my plastic surgery practice worth?
The value of a plastic surgery practice is determined by a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA. Where your practice lands on the spectrum depends on factors like how dependent revenue is on the selling surgeon, your patient retention, revenue mix across procedures, facility condition, and growth trajectory over the past several years. Practices with a strong associate team, diversified revenue, and clean financials consistently command stronger multiples than those that rely heavily on a single provider.
