Protect Your Plastic Surgery Practice with General Liability Insurance
General liability insurance forms a core layer of protection for plastic surgeons. It helps protect your practice from claims involving patients, vendors, or visitors who experience injury or property damage unrelated to surgical care. From consultation rooms and surgical suites to waiting areas and parking access, this coverage supports daily operations while you focus on patient care and outcomes.
What General Liability Insurance Often Covers
- Slip and fall injuries in waiting rooms or hallways
- Accidental damage to a patient’s personal belongings
- Claims tied to front desk operations or facility management
- Legal defense costs for covered liability claims
- Injuries involving furniture, equipment carts, or common areas
- Incidents involving visitors, vendors, or delivery personnel

Minimum Requirements in Texas
Texas does not mandate a single insurance policy for plastic surgeons, but most practices carry multiple forms of coverage to meet hospital privileges, landlord agreements, and professional standards set by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Many facilities require proof of malpractice insurance before granting operating privileges.
Coverage limits often begin at one million per occurrence and two million aggregate, though higher limits are common for surgery-based practices considered high risk. Our team helps plastic surgeons align coverage with services offered, staffing structure, and surgical volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do plastic surgeons need both general liability and malpractice insurance?
Yes. General liability covers non-clinical incidents, while malpractice insurance addresses claims tied to surgery, treatment decisions, and patient outcomes. Most plastic surgeons carry both as part of a complete insurance plan.
How does malpractice insurance apply to plastic surgery?
Malpractice insurance protects plastic surgeons against claims related to plastic surgery procedures, including cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery. This coverage responds to allegations involving surgical errors, adverse events, or poor outcomes.
Are cosmetic procedures considered higher risk for insurance purposes?
Yes. Many insurance carriers view cosmetic procedures as higher exposure due to patient expectations, elective surgery factors, and outcome sensitivity. Our team at Performance Insurance works with plastic surgeons to structure malpractice insurance that reflects this level of risk.
How does medical malpractice insurance differ from general liability coverage?
Medical malpractice insurance responds to claims tied to patient care, surgery, and professional judgment. General liability focuses on non-medical incidents such as visitor injuries or property damage
Does malpractice insurance cover specific surgeries like eyelid surgery or a breast lift?
Yes. Malpractice insurance typically applies to a wide range of plastic surgery services, including eyelid surgery, breast lift, tummy tuck, and other cosmetic procedures, as long as they fall within your declared scope of practice.
