The 10 Best Plastic Surgeons in Riverside (2026)
Riverside's surgical market is really the Inland Empire's, and the addresses say so: the Indiana Avenue medical buildings hold two tracked practices, the Advanced Institute and Imagine Plastic Surgery sharing a single building, while the rest of the nine spread across Corona, Redlands, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, and Claremont. Review depth is real, 2,008 reviews averaging 4.85, led by Dr. Matthew Nykiel's five-star 353-review practice in Upland. Blepharoplasty has the widest coverage at nine practices, with breast and body work level at nine. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification and an accredited surgical facility before booking.

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.
