Massachusetts, United States
18 board-certified practices, local procedure costs, and the questions worth asking before you book.
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.
Across the 18 practices we track in Boston, the widest procedure coverage is facelift (18 surgeons), blepharoplasty (17 surgeons), and rhinoplasty (17 surgeons), which typically runs $12,000–$30,000 locally. 1 of these practices list Saturday hours. Together they hold 2,772 Google reviews at an average of 4.9 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 nose job
Surgery that reshapes the nose, and the most technically demanding operation in facial plastic surgery, where surgeon selection matters more than in any other procedure.
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 A short procedure that removes the buccal fat pad from the lower cheek to create a more sculpted, hollowed look, and the operation most likely to be regretted if done at the wrong age.
Cosmetic Surgery Also called ear pinning
Surgery that reshapes or repositions prominent ears closer to the head, commonly performed on children but equally effective in adults.
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.

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 Boston, the procedures with local coverage are Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Facelift, Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), Breast Lift, Breast Reduction, Mommy Makeover, Buccal Fat Removal, Otoplasty, Labiaplasty. 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.
