What Attracted Buyers
01
High Revenue with Healthy EBITDA Margins
At $17M in revenue and $3M in EBITDA, this plastic surgery group demonstrated the kind of financial scale that signals operational maturity — not just top-line growth. Buyers could underwrite the deal with confidence.
02
Systems Built to Scale, Not Just to Operate
The practice had operational infrastructure already in place: trained staff, defined workflows, and repeatable processes across all locations. Buyers weren't acquiring potential — they were acquiring a platform ready to absorb growth.
03
A Surgeon Committed to the Next Chapter
Single-surgeon practices carry real key-person risk. Although he was the only surgeon in the practice, he was committed to staying on with meaningful runway to recruit a second surgeon, giving buyers the confidence that the practice wouldn't lose its anchor the moment papers were signed.
04
A Med Spa Already Outperforming the Market
The aesthetics and medical spa component was fully built out and growing. The national average med spa produces roughly $1.4M in annual revenue. These locations were well above that benchmark, representing a proven revenue channel buyers could expand — not a concept they'd need to build.

This practice owner came to TUSK ready to run a competitive plastic surgery practice sale on his terms. The doctor wasn't far into the process, but knew he wanted to do it right and needed an advisor.

TUSK started where it always does: understanding the owner's goals and the practice's financials before building an exit strategy around them. With a group of such scale, it was important to dive deep into the back-end of the practice. The doctor wanted to stay on after the sale, which opened many doors for him. Many plastic surgery platforms and private equity groups require a 3-5 year commitment from surgeons, especially if they're the only one in the practice. He wanted a buyer who would treat his geography as an expansion opportunity, not just an acquisition. And he wanted a partner that would take care of his team.

TUSK positioned the practice to the right buyers, not just all buyers. The CIM was built to tell a growth story, one that made the med spa performance, the operational depth, and the surgeon's commitment to staying on impossible to overlook. That story attracted serious, qualified interest at every stage of the process.

When the deal closed, the owner had the number and the structure. He stayed on as the regional growth catalyst for the buyer's expansion, exactly as planned.
