The 10 Best Plastic Surgeons in New Haven (2026)
Academic surgery shapes this list. The Orchard Street and Howard Avenue listings, Dr. Adnan Prsic, Dr. David Colen, and Dr. Angie Paik among them, are Yale-affiliated surgeons, while the private bench clusters on the shoreline: Esana Plastic Surgery's New Haven and Guilford offices, Dr. Derek Steinbacher's thirteen-procedure practice in Guilford, and Dr. Beth Collins' fourteen-procedure menu on the Boston Post Road. Eyelid surgery and liposuction lead coverage at six of ten practices, rhinoplasty close behind at five, and Dr. Jeffrey Mao in Orange adds a dedicated facial practice with 220 reviews. The ten average 4.84 across 1,193 reviews. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification and where your procedure would be performed.

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.
