Plastic Surgeon Jobs in Wilmington, DE: Your Wound Expertise, a Better Way to Practice
No one understands wound healing and tissue management like a Plastic Surgeon. Yet many plastic surgeons spend their careers covering hand and facial trauma call, fighting insurers over reconstructive cases, or carrying the overhead, marketing costs and pressure of running a cosmetic practice. Across the country, plastic surgeons are dealing with falling reimbursements, growing competition from med spas and patients with ever-higher expectations. Skilled Wound Care, a premier national physician group, is hiring Plastic Surgeons in Wilmington, DE to work as wound care physicians and lead wound care initiatives in skilled nursing facilities across the area.
Maybe you’re a reconstructive surgeon ready to step away from trauma call and insurance battles. Maybe you’re a cosmetic surgeon looking for steady, reliable income without the costs of running a practice. Or maybe you want a part-time role alongside your current practice. Either way, this no-call Plastic Surgeon job offers a high-impact career without the corporate red tape.

About this role
Skilled Wound Care is seeking a Plastic Surgeon for a part-time role in Wilmington, Delaware focused on wound care in skilled nursing facilities. This position offers a fundamentally different career path from traditional plastic surgery practice—no call schedule, no trauma coverage, no cosmetic practice overhead, and no insurance battles. Instead, you'd perform surgical and sharp debridement, manage complex and chronic wounds, apply advanced dressing protocols, and follow patients through the healing process in post-acute settings. The work draws directly on your surgical training in tissue handling and wound management, but in a structured Monday-through-Friday environment.
The compensation structure is performance-based, with per-patient and per-procedure pay plus quarterly bonuses, ranging from $200,000 to $300,000 annually depending on productivity. You'd work as an independent contractor without staff payroll, marketing costs, or billing responsibilities. The role suits surgeons at various career stages—those stepping back from trauma call, cosmetic practitioners seeking steadier income without practice overhead, or established surgeons looking to add part-time work alongside their current practice. Skilled Wound Care provides comprehensive wound care training, so prior wound care experience is not required. The company holds Great Place to Work certification and requires an unrestricted medical license, DEA license eligibility, and an MD or DO from an accredited institution.
