Abstract
Why do some surgeons retire (or not), and perhaps more importantly, when should some surgeons retire? Interviews were conducted with 21 senior plastic surgeons to determine why plastic surgeons choose not to retire. In an effort to answer the second question (When should surgeons retire?), an analogy is constructed between surgeons and commercial airline pilots.
