    Author's Description

    “While there is no ideal job, whatever is second best to being a plastic surgeon is a long way down the list.”

    Even the best job has challenges. Making the Cut will help you face them, with the help of more than 50 years of combined experience in navigating the ever-changing waters of plastic surgery. Written by veteran plastic surgery practice consultant Dana Fox and Greg Evans, MD, FACS, a former President of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS),

    Making the Cut offers a guide on how to navigate and choose your personal path on the many roads to being a successful plastic surgeon.

    From private to group to academic practice, there are many career opportunities and styles of practice once you’re out of residency. This book will cover the considerations of all of them, as well as provide a wealth of tips on how to successfully brand and market yourself and your services in whatever mode of practice you choose.

    Divided into four sections, with additional contributions from several plastic surgeons and business experts, this book covers Choosing Your Career Path, Staffing and Training, Creating and Marketing Your Brand and Exit Strategies.

    Making the Cut offers answers to key questions plastic surgeons face along the many paths that can take them from residency to retirement.
