Lets say one is in his early 30's a plastic surgeon with their own practice. Do plastic surgeons with their own practice really make money or is the plastic surgeons that i see on mtv in hollywood showing how they drive their porsche's just for show? Like it's a rented porsche for the show. Do plastic surgeons really have the million dollar homes and the expensive cars or do they live just like a doctor who makes $100,000 a year in a small home and a honda accord?
Average plastic surgeons make around 300-400k per year. Just starting out, probably 200-300k unless they get lucky or came from a good program. A well established practice, however, with celebrity clients like you see on MTV could easily pull in upwards of 1 million dollars per yer. So yes, well established plastic surgeons that have a solid practice could easily afford a porsche and a million dollar home.
I doubt a doctor that young would get his own practice, much less be making that kind of money when he's only 30 or so. I think you have to intern and be a resident for a while.
