The Future of Cosmetic Surgery — with Erik J. Nuveen, MD, DMD Beauty and the Biz

Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, and the future of cosmetic surgery.
I’m your host, Catherine Maley, author of Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying, as well as consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients, more profits and stellar reputations. Now, today’s episode is called "The Future of Cosmetic Surgery — with Erik J. Nuveen, MD, DMD".
While speaking at this year’s AACS conference, I heard a surgeon give a talk called “The Future of Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery: Consolidation and Success”.
He was saying how difficult it is for a new surgeon, oftentimes saddled with up to $500K in loans, to borrow more money to open their own practice or buy into someone else’s, when they enter the marketplace. 
He went on to talk about new hybrid scenarios that work well for the up-and-coming surgeon looking for autonomy and support, as well as the mature surgeon contemplating a profitable exit. 

Since this is a hot topic lately, this Beauty and the Biz episode is an interview I did with that speaker. It’s Dr. Erik Nuveen, a cosmetic surgeon running a multi-surgeon, 10,000 square foot private practice located in Oklahoma, OK; which is embracing the future of cosmetic surgery.
We talked about how he bought someone else’s practice (with a shoddy reputation) and built it into an 8-figure practice, while performing 2,240 surgeries per year. 
And, how Dr. Nuveen is using the art of consolidation to reduce redundancy and change the landscape of solo cosmetic practices.

The Future of Cosmetic Surgery — with Erik J. Nuveen, MD, DMD Catherine Maley, MBA: Hello, and welcome to Beauty and a Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery and the future of cosmetic surgery. I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice, what your patients are saying", as well as consultant to plastic surgeons to get them more patients and more profits. I have a really special guest today.
His name is Dr. Erik Nuveen. Now, he's a cosmetic surgeon, who is embracing the future of cosmetic surgery, in a multi-surgeon, 10,000 square foot private practice called Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, and it's located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which I've actually had a chance to visit this year for the first time in my life, and it was really nice.
So, this eight- figure, practice, which is embracing the future of cosmetic surgery, includes face, breast, and body surgical procedures performed by four surgeons in their two onsite operating rooms, which are fully accredited and AAAHC certified. Now, they also offer a plethora of nonsurgical treatments performed by many ancillary staff in their med spa, as well as online store that carries their own skincare line.
Now Dr. Nuveen and I crossed paths very recently. We were at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons annual meeting in San Diego and Dr. Nuveen we were in the practice management session and after I spoke, then I listened to Dr. Nuveen's talk and his was entitled, "The Future of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery: Consolidation and Success". So, this happens to be a really hot topic lately, so, I wanted to get his take on it because he's ve
