The 4 Best Plastic Surgeons in San Mateo (2026)
Four tracked practices make up the map: the San Mateo Drive medical corridor holds Dr. John Griffin and Dr. Michael Glafkides, with SVIA on Bovet Road and Cheng Plastic Surgery in Redwood City completing it. Cosmetic coverage runs four practices apiece for blepharoplasty, liposuction, and facelifts, with ratings of 4.6 and above throughout and 183 total reviews. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification, and San Francisco's deeper bench sits twenty minutes north for comparison consults.

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.
