The 12 Best Plastic Surgeons in Palo Alto (2026)
Palo Alto's surgical practices sit around the Oak Grove and Addison medical blocks near the university medical center, and the market reflects its clientele: small, credential-heavy, and used to patients who research thoroughly before consulting. Facial procedures lead the local mix. Peninsula pricing runs at the top of the California range. San Francisco and San Jose both offer deeper benches within a short drive. The list below ranks by Google rating weighted by review volume. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification and hospital privileges regardless of setting.

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.
