The 9 Best Plastic Surgeons in Wilmington (2026)
Wilmington's surgical market centers on the Medical Center Drive cluster near Novant New Hanover, and oculoplastic surgery is its standout strength, led by an eye center whose 1,200-plus reviews anchor the region's eyelid work. General cosmetic coverage runs solid: eight of the thirteen practices perform liposuction, seven cover breast augmentation and tummy tucks. As coastal North Carolina's only market of depth, it draws from an hour in every direction, and summer books early. Verify American Board of Plastic Surgery certification, or oculoplastic fellowship training for eyelid specialists, plus facility accreditation.

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.
