Find Referral Partners for Plastic Surgeons
Plastic surgeons receive cosmetic referrals from dermatologists and reconstructive referrals from primary care and OB-GYN (post-mastectomy reconstruction, abdominoplasty after pregnancy). Dermatology is a key bidirectional partner — surgical reconstruction after Mohs excision flows back as cosmetic work, and aesthetic Mohs candidates flow forward.
