The 5 Best Plastic Surgeons in Durham (2026)

Duke shapes this bench in a way no other market in this release matches: Dr. Detlev Erdmann holds a flat 5.0 at Duke Medicine Circle's academic practice, and North Carolina Specialty Hospital's 955-review facility on Ben Franklin Boulevard hosts much of the region's surgical volume. Gunn Plastic Surgery Center on Crutchfield Street carries the deepest independent book at 166 reviews, Dr. Dane Barrett works the Crooked Creek medical park to the south, and Dr. Keelee MacPhee's practice on Fayetteville Road adds gender-affirming and reconstructive depth. Rhinoplasty, facelifts, breast work, and body contouring each reach two or more practices. The five listings average 4.88 across 1,227 reviews. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification and your surgeon's case volume in the specific procedure.

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.
