We don’t sell ranking and don’t accept payment to move a plastic surgeon up the list. For final hire decisions, verify licensing, insurance, and references directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and state medical board.
No bulk-licensing source family is currently ingested for this vertical. Hire-time checking still routes through the body named above.
Certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) requires completion of a plastic surgery residency — separate from cosmetic surgery certificates, which have no standardized training requirement. Rhinoplasty averages $7,000–12,000; breast augmentation $5,000–9,000; abdominoplasty $8,000–16,000 — all before anesthesia and facility fees. Browse surgeon profiles by city, read patient reviews, verify ABPS certification on the ABMS lookup, and contact offices directly.
Choosing a plastic surgeon is a medical decision. The directory you use to find one should treat it that way.
Elective care is a multi-visit decision. Use this shape to check the practice’s process at the consult — not after the deposit clears.
An initial consult should be a conversation — not a sales pitch. Bring a written list of goals, current medications, and any prior procedures. Ask who is on the room, who runs the practice, and what happens if you decide not to proceed.
Evaluation is where candidacy is determined — physical assessment, contraindications, expectations, photographs where applicable. A reputable plastic surgeons provider will tell you when you are not a candidate, even if the practice loses the booking.
Treatment plans should be itemized in writing — what's included, what's optional, what's out of scope, what aftercare costs are separate. A protocol that "varies based on need" without ranges should prompt a follow-up question.
Follow-up cadence belongs in the plan, not in the post-visit phone tag. Ask who handles complications, what after-hours coverage looks like, and how revisions or touch-ups are billed if outcomes don't match the plan.
Enter your city and the procedure you’re researching — rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, body contouring, facial rejuvenation, or reconstructive work. You’re not committing to anything; you’re starting to research.
A ranked list of plastic surgeons actively practicing in your city. No national referral brokers, no cosmetic providers misclassified as surgeons. Every surgeon shown has real Google reviews and a complete profile with their training and specialties.
Read their board certifications, residency training, areas of specialization, and patient reviews. Some surgeons focus on facial procedures; others on body contouring or reconstructive work. Match the surgeon’s training to your specific case.
Contact the practice on your own terms. No intake form, no call center, no third party in the room. A surgical consultation is the place to ask every question — about training, approach, recovery, and realistic outcomes.
The path every thoughtful patient takes. The difference is having a starting point that doesn’t put the surgeon’s marketing budget ahead of your research.
We cover 199 US cities across 44 states.
Fonteum does not verify provider credentials or supervision relationships. The questions below name the external authority you can use to confirm each answer at the source.
Names + credentials of the person actually treating you — not the practice's marketing voice. Confirm the medical license at the state medical board's lookup tool. Confirm board certification at ABMS or the relevant specialty board.
Many elective treatments are delegated to nurses or aestheticians under a physician's protocol. Ask the practice to name the supervising physician on record and confirm that physician is in-state and available during procedures.
Reputable practices have written protocols for managing complications — emergency contact, partner hospital relationship, after-hours coverage. Ask before the procedure, not after.
Aftercare windows, included visits, costs of touch-ups, what triggers a revision conversation. A practice that resists writing this down before payment is a flag worth heeding.
We list plastic surgeons active on Google Business in each city, ranked primarily by real Google rating and review volume. We don’t sell placement and don’t accept payment to move a surgeon higher. Always confirm board certification, training, and licensing directly with the surgeon’s office before scheduling any procedure.
The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the primary certifying body for plastic surgeons in the US. ABPS-recognized credentials require completing an accredited plastic surgery residency, passing written and oral examinations, and maintaining continuing education. The directory does not assert credentials on behalf of listed surgeons — confirm certification status directly via ABPS or the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) lookup.
Completely free for anyone researching. We don’t charge to browse, don’t run pop-ups, and don’t sell your contact information to practices. You reach out to any surgeon directly, on your own schedule.
An ABPS-credentialed plastic surgeon has completed a residency specifically in plastic surgery and passed specialty exams. “Cosmetic surgeon” is not a protected specialty term in the US — practitioners from other specialties may use it. For surgical procedures, confirm the specific credentials of any provider with your state’s medical licensing board and the ABMS lookup before scheduling.
The ratings shown are real Google ratings, not a proprietary score we created. A 4.8★ means that surgeon has a 4.8★ average across their actual patient reviews on Google. We display them as-is and don’t modify or inflate them.
Ask about their specific experience with your procedure, how many they perform annually, where the surgery will take place and whether that facility is accredited, what the recovery looks like, and what their revision policy is. Also ask to see before-and-after portfolios for cases comparable to yours. A good surgeon welcomes all of these questions.
Elective cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by insurance. Reconstructive procedures — following mastectomy, trauma, or to correct a functional impairment — may be covered. Coverage depends on your specific plan and circumstances; always confirm with your insurer and the surgeon’s office before proceeding.
We cover 196 cities across 44 states and expand on a rolling basis. If your city isn’t showing results, browse a nearby metro or check back as we add new markets.
Your research is the first step in a good outcome.
Browse plastic surgeons near youNo two patients respond identically. Lighting, anatomy, healing biology, and protocol adherence all change the outcome. A practice promising a specific result is selling a guarantee that elective care cannot honestly make.
Patient-selected gallery photos are marketing — not clinical evidence. Lighting, posture, and post-procedure photography are routinely staged. Treat galleries as the practice's best case, not the median case.
When Fonteum publishes a source-cited field on a profile, the chip names the authority and the last-checked date. Fields without a chip mean we have no public-record match — never that we have performed our own credential check on the practice.
Care fit, patient choice, and safety oversight without the sales pressure.
Profiles show what each provider actually treats and the consultation format on offer. You see who's the right fit before you book.
Every contact reaches only the provider you picked. No shared lead pools, no upsell calls from third parties.
Where a public board licensure record exists, we link to it. Listings describe scope of practice, never promise an outcome.
4.8★ average Google rating across listed plastic surgeons.
Plastic surgery is a specialty where checking the source matters most. NPPES records identify who CMS lists; we surface the listing exactly, never as a certification claim of our own.
Practice Address state used. Mailing Address ignored. NPPES records flagged inactive are filtered before anything renders. We never call any provider "board-certified" — that is a separate ABPS check NPPES does not capture.
NUCC parent code 208200000X plus the head-and-neck sub-specialty 2082S0099X. General surgery, OMFS, and ENT-trained facial-plastic surgeons carry separate taxonomies and are out of scope here.
Every count + density figure traces to the cited NPPES snapshot. The methodology MD names what we don't count and why — board certification is a separate ABPS check, not an NPPES field.
