Working as a Plastic Surgeon: An Overview

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the reconstruction, restoration, or alteration of the human body. As a plastic surgeon, you can work on repairing injuries and deformities as well as performing aesthetic procedures aimed at enhancing appearance.

Salary for Plastic Surgeons

A plastic surgeon in Sweden has an average monthly salary of 92 200 SEK. There is a slight wage gap between men and women in the profession; men earn an average of 93 800 SEK while women earn 90 800 SEK, meaning that women earn 97% of what men do. The salary has increased from 86 400 SEK since the last measurement.

Education and Requirements

Becoming a plastic surgeon requires a long and intensive education. First, you must complete medical school, which is approximately 5.5 years long. This is followed by internship (AT) for about 18-24 months. After obtaining your medical license, further specialization in plastic surgery is required, taking around 5-6 years. In total, it can take up to 12-14 years to become a qualified plastic surgeon.

Job Responsibilities

As a plastic surgeon, you work on performing surgeries aimed at restoring or enhancing a patient's appearance and function. This can include breast reconstruction after cancer, correction of congenital deformities, burn treatment, and cosmetic procedures like facelifts and liposuction. The job involves a great deal of precision and accuracy, as well as a good understanding of aesthetics and anatomy.

Conditions and Recruitment Situation

According to the Employment Service, the opportunities to find work as a plastic surgeon are significant. Demand is expected to increase over the next five years. The recruitment situation is paradoxical: there are recruitment difficulties while unemployment and the proportion of part-time workers are high. This is partly due to many professionals leaving the field or retiring, creating a need to fill the gap.

Benefits and Working Conditions

Plastic surgeons often have access to various benefits depending on the workplace. These may include paid training, conferences, research opportunities, and sometimes practical benefits like a company phone or a company car. Working conditions can vary depending on whether you work in the public or private sector, but generally, plastic surgeons have good working conditions and opportunities for professional development.

Considerations

For those considering a career as a plastic surgeon, it is important to be aware of the long and demanding educational path. The profession requires a combination of medical expertise, artistic sensibility, and emotional intelligence. Additionally, working hours can be irregular and stressful, especially in emergencies and complex surgeries. However, for those who are dedicated and passionate, plastic surgery can be a very rewarding profession.
