The 10 Best Plastic Surgeons in Santa Monica (2026)
Facial specialists define Santa Monica's surgical market. Of fourteen tracked practices, the bench includes an oculoplastic surgeon in Dr. Cynthia Boxrud, an ENT facial practice under Dr. Payam Daneshrad, and Butler Facial Plastic Surgery, so blepharoplasty reaches thirteen practices, facelifts eleven, and rhinoplasty nine, while body work runs thinner. The 7th Street building shared by Kare Plastic Surgery and Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian anchors the local cluster, with Marina del Rey's Stoker and Marina practices and a Beverly Hills five-star book extending the map. Saturday consult hours at four practices are a Westside rarity. Confirm American Board of Plastic Surgery certification, or the equivalent specialty board for oculoplastic and ENT surgeons, 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.
