How we find and check specialist plastic surgeons

Two ways in. Find the specialists for your procedure, where you'd have surgery, or check a surgeon you already have in mind.

Find a surgeonCheck a surgeon
How it works

Three steps to a shortlist you can check

  1. Tell us what you need

    Your procedure, and how far you would travel for it. A few quick questions, nothing more.

  2. We confirm every plastic surgeon against the record

    Everyone on your list is a registered specialist plastic surgeon, confirmed on the official register or board in their country. Anyone under a current sanction is left off.

  3. The strongest matches come first

    The plastic surgeons who specialise in your exact procedure sit at the top, each with their credentials and the source we confirmed them from. You decide who to see.

Your shortlist, strongest matches first

Every surgeon is a registered specialist. The strongest matches for your procedure come first, each with their credentials, the source we confirmed them from and a link to their practice.

Where our information comes from

We label every source so you can judge how much weight to give it.

Colleges and societiesSurgical training, exams and membership. Run by the profession, independent of government.Labelled: independent
Surgeons' own websitesProcedures offered. Useful, but written by the surgeon or clinic, so never counted as a credential.Labelled: surgeon's own

No surgeon or clinic pays us. Ever.

  • We don't score surgeons or call anyone “best”, and nobody can pay for position
  • We don't take fees, commissions or referrals
  • We never say a surgeon is bad, only what records show
  • We show what we couldn't confirm
