Additionally, we’ll discuss the general business and marketing side of plastic surgery.                As always, I’m your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." Furthermore, I’m also a consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. Presenting today’s episode titled, “One Room, One Woman, $1 Million Gross — with Sinehan Bayrak, MD.”  First, imagine running a thriving plastic surgery practice without traditional staff. Instead, you handle everything with automation and Instagram. Consequently, you’re fully booked months in advance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Specifically, that’s exactly what Dr. Sinehan Bayrak, a facial plastic surgeon in Philadelphia, has done. In fact, her story amazed me at the annual AAFPRS conference when she gave a talk titled: “1 Room, 1 Woman, and $1 Million Gross”  Initially, she built her practice from scratch in Philadelphia. Notably, she knew no one. However, she quickly realized hiring and managing staff wasn’t the right fit for her. Therefore, she invested in automation and social media. As a result, it worked.  Now, her entire practice operates online:  Appointments are booked digitally Communication is via text-only (no phone calls!) Quotes and payments are fully automated  The result? She’s booked 3-4 months in advance. Moreover, she has a waitlist of patients eager to see her.  In short, if you’ve ever wondered how to run a lean, profitable practice in today’s tech-driven world, you won’t want to miss this.

Dr. Melancon shares her incredible journey, including: ✅ First, transitioning straight from fellowship in Houston, TX, to starting her own practice in her hometown. ✅ Then, choosing an upscale location for her office, next to Starbucks and a Pilates studio. ✅ Additionally, overcoming construction delays, a hurricane, and giving birth to twins—all within three years! ✅ Finally, key lessons learned in staffing, leadership, and maintaining low overhead while growing. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly takes to build and scale a successful plastic surgery practice, this episode is packed with valuable insights. You don’t want to miss it. Furthermore, if you’re wondering how to face the real challenges of opening and growing your own practice, this episode is filled with essential strategies and tips.

Catherine has helped many practices double or even triple their revenue, all while creating a magnetic environment that encourages word-of-mouth referrals and repeat patients. Her proven, dynamic approach to marketing, advertising, sales and customer relations has been continually developed and refined for over 40 years.

Starting as an interdisciplinary Staff Coordinator with the Illinois State Medical Society and then as director of the House of Delegates for the California Medical Association, Catherine has been helping physicians and businesses reach their goals since the mid-80’s. This early experience laid the groundwork for understanding and overcoming the unique challenges, threats and opportunities facing physicians.

With this knowledge and experience acquired, Catherine spent the next 15 years developing and perfecting her marketing and sales techniques with various Fortune 500 companies. Her natural understanding of business gave her the edge to remain in the top 15% of all sales people nationwide. Her great successes would eventually land her the titles of National Sales Manager, Marketing Manager, and Product Development Manager for two Silicon Valley startups.

From her own personal experiences, Catherine witnessed a great need for practices to develop their customer service skills and learn the delicate dance of converting consults into patients. Now, armed with her top-performing sales and marketing experience coupled with her business knowledge of the medical sector, Catherine had all the tools necessary to begin coaching, training, and marketing specifically for aesthetic surgeons and their staff. She had the experience, drive, and passion to make her clients a great success.
