Consulting Services Overview

Cosmetic Practice Transitions sm and Downing Associates, Inc. provide specialty consulting services within the Plastic, Facial Plastic, and Cosmetic Surgery professions.

Candidates should allow ample time to plan their search for practice placement with experienced plastic, facial plastics, and aesthetic and cosmetic surgeons in order to locate their ideal practice.  Clients should allow sufficient time to promote their practice opportunity in order to attract the most promising candidates and ensure the highest probability of mutual success.

Typical projects require an average of six months to a year, with weighted efforts put forth during the initial “SEARCH PHASE” in order to identify the most promising prospects through personal interviews, as well as during the final “CLOSING PHASE” in order to provide time for negotiations and closing between parties.
