The 4 Best Plastic Surgeons in Charlottesville (2026)

Charlottesville's surgical list is short, facial, and hospital-adjacent: all four practices perform facelifts, three handle blepharoplasty, neck lifts, and brow lifts, and everything clusters on the Pantops medical campuses along Peter Jefferson Parkway and Martha Jefferson Drive. Dr. Elizabeth Chance's Chance + Co and Dr. Rhett Willis at Charlottesville Plastic Surgery carry the cosmetic-forward books, with Dr. Brian Showalter at Martha Jefferson rounding out the bench. Review counts are small, 130 in total, so weigh the consult heavily, and for breast and body work many patients also compare Richmond or Northern Virginia. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification and facility accreditation regardless.

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.
