The 18 Best Plastic Surgeons in Boston (2026)

Boston's plastic surgeons work in the shadow of the country's densest concentration of teaching hospitals, and many of the private practices on Boylston Street and in Newton hold academic appointments alongside their own patients. That academic culture shows up in consultations that tend to be conservative and thorough. Pricing runs at the high end, matching the credentials. The list below ranks by real Google rating weighted by review volume. Even in a market this credentialed, confirm American Board of Plastic Surgery certification and ask where the operation is performed, since hospital and office-based surgical suites are not equivalent.

How we ranked these: by public Google rating weighted by review volume (a Bayesian average), as of 2026. This list is editorial and not influenced by payment. Always confirm current credentials, availability, and pricing directly with each practice.

How to vet a plastic surgeon

Three checks before any consultation deposit: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (in Canada, Royal College certification, FRCSC), surgery performed in an accredited facility, and a direct answer to "how many of my exact procedure do you perform each year?" A reputable surgeon welcomes all three questions. Be cautious with heavy discounting and package deals: surgery is the wrong purchase to optimize on price.
