Methodology:

America’s Best Plastic Surgeons 2021 recognizes the best plastic surgeons in the US in four major cosmetic surgery procedures: Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Facelift, and Rhinoplasty. The procedures were chosen based on the total number of procedures performed per year as well as market volume in the US – they are among the procedures with the highest total annual expenditure in the US. The survey specifically asked for recommendations for plastic surgeons in the US who offer at least one of these four procedures.

Surgeons in the 20 states with the highest number of plastic surgeons who offer at least one of the four procedures, according to the American Board of Plastic Surgery, were included in the national online survey.

The eligibility of plastic surgeons in the US is determined by their offer of specific cosmetic surgery procedures to patients. Plastic surgeons who exclusively offer reconstruction or non-elective reconstruction/correction were excluded from the survey. From the field of cosmetic surgery, the four major procedures (breast augmentation, facelift, liposuction, and rhinoplasty) were selected (see above). The awarded plastic surgeons must offer at least one of the mentioned procedures.

In total, 387 individual plastic surgeons in the US were awarded by Newsweek and Statista. Plastic surgeons may be recommended for all procedures specified in the survey if offered. For this reason, it is possible for the individual plastic surgeon to be represented in up to four rankings. The 2021 rankings feature the top 200 plastic surgeons for Breast Augmentation and the top 150 for Liposuction, Facelift, and Rhinoplasty.
