Dr. Rohrich Named Top U.S. Plastic Surgeons for Six Years

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Dallas Plastic Surgeon Dr. Rod J. Rohrich has been ranked as the top plastic surgeon in the United States for six consecutive years, according to Newsweek's America's Best Plastic Surgeons 2026 rankings. Dr. Rohrich has been named the #1 plastic surgeon in rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid surgery, and liposuction, and is ranked #2 in breast augmentation and tummy tuck procedures.

The America's Best Plastic Surgeons rankings, now in its sixth edition, was developed by Newsweek in partnership with global data research firm Statista. Thousands of medical experts with knowledge of plastic surgery participated in an online survey from April through May 2026 to identify the best plastic surgeons in the United States. More than 10,000 votes were collected and analyzed across the six procedure categories.

Dr. Rohrich's 2026 results continue a multi-year record of high placement across the Newsweek rankings. His #1 ranking in rhinoplasty and #1 ranking in facelift extend his run at the top of both categories to six consecutive years, dating back to the first edition in 2021. He also remains #1 in eyelid surgery and liposuction, while ranking #2 in both breast augmentation and tummy tuck.

The methodology for the 2026 rankings included recommendations from medical professionals in the 25 U.S. states with the largest numbers of plastic surgeons. Participants were asked to identify leading surgeons both within and outside their own states, and self-recommendations were not permitted. For in-state recommendations, participants also assessed quality of care, including consultation, complications, follow-up care, and surgical outcomes.

Each surgeon's final score combined three components: reputation scores from peer recommendations, which accounted for 80% of the total; quality-of-care assessments, which accounted for 15%; and American Board of Plastic Surgery certification, which accounted for 5%. The top 30 surgeons in each procedure category were numerically ranked, while additional recognized surgeons were listed alphabetically. In total, 578 individual plastic surgeons were recognized across one or more categories.

Dr. Rohrich's clinical and academic work spans aesthetic facial and body surgery, with particular emphasis on rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, facelift surgery, patient safety, and evidence-based surgical education. He lectures internationally, publishes extensively in peer-reviewed literature, and continues to teach surgeons through major professional meetings and educational programs.

The best plastic surgeons strive to provide safe, individualized care and consistent outcomes. For patients considering plastic surgery, choosing a properly trained, board-certified surgeon with meaningful experience in the specific procedure remains the most important decision a patient can make.

Dr. Rod J. Rohrich, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas, Texas, and a Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, has been named the top U.S. plastic surgeon in rhinoplasty and facelift surgery for six consecutive years. He is the emeritus Editor-in-Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, has published over 1,000 peer-reviewed articles, and authored eight textbooks.
