Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss juggling recon and cosmetic patients. Additionally, we'll discuss the general business and marketing side of plastic surgery.

As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." Furthermore, I'm also a consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits.

Presenting today's episode titled, "Juggling Recon and Cosmetic Patients — with Kristopher Day, MD."

Naturally, the biggest fear for a plastic surgeon leaving academia to start their own practice is: Will I make it financially without the safety net of a big institution?

Recently, my latest guest on Beauty and the Biz was Dr. Kristopher Day, who faced that same concern. Specifically, he is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with six years of experience in academia. Three years ago, he took the leap into private practice in Bellevue, Washington.

Importantly, Dr. Day shared his journey of transitioning from academia to private practice. Notably, he continues to perform reconstructive surgery. However, he has also expanded into cosmetic procedures, including post-bariatric and gender-affirming surgeries.

Additionally, he discussed:

• Firstly, the challenges and rewards of navigating the business and marketing side of a young practice.
• Secondly, how mentorship helped him save time, money, and avoid costly mistakes.
• Thirdly, the complexities of balancing reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, from office setup to staffing.

Ultimately, the move to private practice has been a rewarding one for Dr. Day. Fortunately, he has found more balance. Now, he can spend quality time with his wife and kids.
