Figure 1B: Payments Received by Academic versus Non-Academic Plastic Surgeons

Non-academic plastic surgeons were paid more than academic plastic surgeons. The median (IQR) of payments to non-academic plastic surgeons was $165 ($81–$ 441) compared to $112 ($33–$291) for academic plastic surgeons (p<0.001). Among non-academic (N=3,959) plastic surgeons who received industry payments, 47% (N=1,846) received <$100, 40% (N=1,584) received payments between $100 and $999, 11% (N=439) received between $1,000 and $9,999, 2% (N=89) received between $10,000 and $99,999, and <0.1% (N=1) received more than $100,000. Among academic plastic surgeons (N=236) who received industry payments, 32% (N=77) received <$100, 51% (N=121) received payments between $100 and $999, 9% (N=21) received between $1,000 and $9,999, 7% (N=16) received between $10,000 and $99,999, and 0.4% received more than $100,000.
