Question:

the pay of a plastic surgeon?

okay so when i go to collage i want to become a plastic surgeon for kids that have burns. but how much does it pay?

Answer:

The pay of plastic surgeon is according to the rank. It also varies with the different hospitals.
Most plastic surgeons, like most other physicians, are independent businessmen who are profitable only when their income exceeds their expenses. Their income is based on the amount charged per procedure times the number of patients minus expenses. Expenses are costs such as office rent, medical supplies, staff costs (nurses, receptionists and anyone else they might need) and the BIG expense is their malpractice insurance. Their pay is, therefore, based on the number of patients they see. They need to work up an outstanding reputation and have a good location. A good plastic surgeon in NY or LA will make a LOT more money than a good plastic surgeon in a less populated area like Wyoming. They can make as much as a million dollars a year. s
