The 6 Best Plastic Surgeons in San Luis Obispo (2026)
The Central Coast runs a small, facially focused surgical market. Within San Luis Obispo, Dr. Hellman's flat 5.0 on Aerovista Place leads an eyelid-and-brow heavy bench alongside Dr. Merrill on Broad Street and Dr. Hosn on Peach, with Dr. Stallman covering Pismo Beach. The full body and breast slate concentrates at Chalekson Plastic Surgery in Templeton, a 155-review practice thirty minutes up Highway 101 in North County. That skew is worth knowing: eyelid work is easy to source locally, larger reconstructive cases often mean Templeton or a drive to a bigger metro. Six listings average 4.85 across 404 reviews. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification 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.
