The rankings, compiled by Newsweek in partnership with research firm Statista, evaluate surgeons based on a rigorous methodology. Peer recommendations carry the most weight, accounting for 80% of the final score, while quality-of-care assessments and American Board of Plastic Surgery certifications contribute the remainder. Participants evaluated candidates on key metrics, including the effectiveness of consultations, complication rates, follow-up care, and the long-term stability of surgical outcomes.
