The 10 Best Plastic Surgeons in Santa Barbara (2026)
Three addresses hold most of Santa Barbara's ten tracked surgeons. The Coast Village Road suite in Montecito lists Dr. Duncan Turner's 155-review book alongside Dr. Alain Polynice and Dr. Allison Pontius, the 1722 State Street building stacks Dr. Adam Lowenstein's Montecito Plastic Surgery, Dr. Marc Soares, and Dr. Howard Gross, and the Pueblo Street offices by Cottage Hospital add two more. Breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and blepharoplasty each reach seven practices, while rhinoplasty coverage is thin at one, an odd gap for a market this deep. Dr. Gregory Keller on De La Vina brings a long-established facelift practice. Ratings run 4.6 to 5.0 across 788 reviews. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification and the accredited facility for your procedure.

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.
