3 practices ranked by real Google ratings, local procedure costs, and the questions worth asking before you book.
Berkeley's surgical list is short and specialised. Rebecca S. Yu, MD, at 3000 Colby Street beside Alta Bates holds the deepest book, a flat 5.0 across 244 reviews, though her listing publishes no tagged procedures, so ask what she performs most. Kasra Eliasieh, MD, at Lunata on Telegraph Avenue is an eyelid specialist, blepharoplasty, brow lift and facial fat transfer, 5.0 across 69, weekdays to 4:30. The body and breast slate sits east of the Caldecott Tunnel with Elizabeth S. Lee, MD, at ArtfulSurgery on Mount Diablo Boulevard in Lafayette: breast augmentation, lift, reduction and implant removal through tummy tuck, mommy makeover, BBL, labiaplasty and gynecomastia, 4.3 across 32. None opens Saturdays, and the three average 4.77 across 345 reviews. Oakland and San Francisco hold the larger field for revision work. Confirm ABPS certification.
Across the 3 practices we track in Berkeley, the widest procedure coverage is blepharoplasty (2 surgeons), brow lift (2 surgeons), and breast augmentation (1 surgeon), which typically runs $3,200–$7,500 locally. Together they hold 345 Google reviews at an average of 4.8 stars.

Cosmetic Surgery Also called eyelid surgery
Surgery that removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyes, addressing hooded upper lids and under-eye bags that no injectable can fix.
Cosmetic Surgery Also called breast implants
Surgery that increases breast size using implants or fat transfer, and the most commonly performed cosmetic operation in the United States.
Cosmetic Surgery Surgical removal of localized fat deposits through small incisions, the definitive option for pockets that resist diet and exercise.
Cosmetic Surgery Surgery that removes excess abdominal skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles, addressing what no amount of exercise can fix after pregnancy or major weight loss.
Cosmetic Surgery Surgery that repositions the deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin, addressing jowls and midface descent that no injectable or device can lift.
Cosmetic Surgery Liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, or thighs with transfer of that fat to the buttocks, and the cosmetic operation that demands the most careful surgeon selection of any procedure we list.
Cosmetic Surgery Also called mastopexy
Surgery that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple, without changing size the way implants do.
Cosmetic Surgery Surgery that removes breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce size and relieve the neck, back, and shoulder pain that large breasts cause, and one of the few cosmetic operations insurance sometimes covers.
Cosmetic Surgery A combination of procedures performed in one operation to address the abdominal and breast changes that follow pregnancy, most commonly a tummy tuck with a breast lift or augmentation.
Cosmetic Surgery Surgery that reduces or reshapes the labia minora, most often sought for physical discomfort during exercise, sex, or with clothing rather than appearance alone.
Cosmetic Surgery Also called platysmaplasty
Surgery that tightens the neck muscles, removes loose skin, and sharpens the angle under the chin, the region where aging often shows first and devices help least.
Cosmetic Surgery Also called forehead lift
Surgery that raises a descended brow to its natural position, opening the upper eye area and softening the tired or stern look that heavy brows create.
Cosmetic Surgery Also called male breast reduction
Surgery that removes glandular tissue and fat to flatten the male chest, the definitive fix for a condition that diet and training often cannot touch.
Cosmetic Surgery A procedure that takes fat from your own body, purifies it, and injects it into the face to restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, under the eyes, and lips. Permanent for the fat that survives, natural because it is your own tissue, and often done alongside a facelift.
Cosmetic Surgery Also called explant
Surgery to take out breast implants, with or without the scar capsule around them, and with or without a lift or replacement. Done for rupture, capsular contracture, a change of mind, the rare implant-associated lymphoma, or the systemic symptoms some women report; what the evidence says about each reason is different, and this page separates them.

Freezing fat versus surgically removing it. What each actually does to your body, the real cost math when you stack multiple cycles, the complication nobody mentions, and how to tell which one your anatomy needs.
The comparison that saves people thousands. Morpheus8 improves skin quality. A facelift repositions anatomy. Here is how to tell which problem you actually have before you spend money on the wrong one.
PDO threads are real, modest, and temporary. A facelift is permanent and expensive. Run the ten-year math, understand the complications nobody warns you about, and find out which one your face actually needs.
Filler fills hollows. Surgery removes fat pads and loose skin. Choose wrong and you make the problem worse. Here is the self-assessment that tells you which one you are, and the safety facts about tear trough filler.

Three things, in this order. Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada. Whether the operating facility is accredited, or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure. And how many of that specific operation the surgeon performs each year. A reputable practice answers all three without hesitation.
Across the practices we track in Berkeley, the procedures with local coverage are Blepharoplasty, Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Facelift, Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), Breast Lift, Breast Reduction, Mommy Makeover, Labiaplasty, Neck Lift, Brow Lift, Gynecomastia Surgery, Facial Fat Transfer, Breast Implant Removal. Each links to local cost ranges and the surgeons who perform it.
No. Med spas deliver non-surgical treatments such as injectables, lasers and skin therapies, usually under a supervising physician. Plastic surgery practices are led by surgeons who operate. Some concerns can be addressed either way, and the honest answer depends on your anatomy. If you are weighing the two, our comparison guides cover exactly that decision.
