In this episode of 'Three Plastic Surgeons and a Fourth,' hosts Dr. Sam Jejurikar @samjejurikar, Dr. Salvatore Pacella @sandiegoplasticsurgeon, Dr. Lawrence Tong @yorkvilleplasticsurgery, and Dr. Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic focusing on the ramifications in plastic surgery. They explore the history and business model of private equity, the effects on patient costs and care quality, and share personal experiences and insights regarding potential acquisitions by these financial entities. 

The discussion also covers the challenges faced when physicians consider private equity buyouts and the impact on their practice, autonomy, and patient care. The conversation also touches on the broader implications for healthcare and compares the situation in other specialties like dermatology and ophthalmology. Despite the financial allure, is retaining autonomy and focusing on individualized patient care is paramount?
