Associated Plastic Surgeons

What Associated Plastic Surgeons does

Associated Plastic Surgeons & Med Spa is a private, physician-owned plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine practice headquartered in Leawood, Kansas, founded in 1977. The practice operates a single integrated platform spanning cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures (facial, breast, body, and male plastic surgery), medical dermatology, and an extensive med spa offering non-surgical aesthetic treatments. It employs 6 board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeons and 1 board-certified dermatologist, supported by nurse injectors, estheticians, clinical managers, and patient care coordinators, with surgical privileges at multiple accredited hospital and surgery center partners across the Kansas City metro.

The service portfolio is anchored by energy-based device platforms including Sciton BBL/HALO/SkinTyte, InMode FaceTite, BodyTitePRO, and Morpheus8, complemented by CO2 Laser Resurfacing, CoolPeel, Excel V+, SkinPen, and VISIA multi-spectral skin analysis. Product offerings are reinforced by a proprietary branded skincare line (APS Signature) and curated third-party retail brands such as Alastin, IS Clinical, Neocutis, Skinbetter, ZO, Nutrafol, Revision, and UPNIL. Patients access the practice through two physical locations in Leawood (KS) and Lee's Summit (MO), with a new state-of-the-art surgery center, clinic, and med spa under construction in 2025 to expand in-house surgical capacity.

The business model combines fee-for-service surgical procedures on a quote-based schedule (delivered in accredited surgical centers with complimentary initial cosmetic consultations), recurring med spa services (injectables, laser treatments, facials, RF microneedling), retail skincare product sales, and facilitated third-party patient financing through CareCredit and Cherry. Marketing relies on a digital-first approach anchored by apskc.com, organic social across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, Google Business reviews, a detailed before-and-after photo gallery, and patient testimonials. The customer base is overwhelmingly individual consumer patients from the Kansas City metro, with documented patients traveling from across the Midwest and internationally for procedures.

Revenue model

1. Surgical Procedures: One-time fee-for-service revenue from surgical procedures including facelifts, breast surgeries, body sculpting, rhinoplasty, and reconstructive surgery. Pricing is individualized based on procedure complexity and is quoted during consultation. Procedures performed in accredited surgical centers or in-office procedure rooms.
2. Med Spa Services: Recurring revenue from non-surgical aesthetic treatments including injectables (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, dermal fillers), laser treatments, chemical peels, facials, radiofrequency microneedling, and skin care products. Bookings available same-day up to 2 hours before visit. Med Spa services generate repeat visits and product repurchase revenue.
3. Skincare Products: Retail of skincare products including APS Signature Skin Care Line, Alastin, IS Clinical, Neocutis, Skinbetter, ZO, Nutrafol, Revision, UPNEEQ, CO2 LIFT PRO MASK, OMNILUX MASK, and Omni. Products sold in-office and referenced online.
4. Financing Services: Third-party patient financing through CareCredit and Cherry payment plans, enabling patients to spread procedure costs over time. The practice facilitates financing but does not directly generate revenue from financing; however, this model increases procedure conversion rates.
