These ranked lists were curated as the result of an independent, national survey conducted over March and April of 2024, which queried thousands of industry experts ranging from physicians, surgeons, plastic surgery clinic managers, and health care professionals working in plastic surgery. Based on the results of this survey, a score was calculated for each surgeon based on the number of recommendations, a quality assessment, and relevant certifications and background of the candidates.
The results were then compiled and the top 30 plastic surgeons from each category were ranked and listed by their scores, with the remaining candidates being listed alphabetically. Over 8,400 were collected, reviewed, and analyzed to help produce the score for each procedure.
Dr. Rohrich was ranked in the first position as the top plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty in the United States, with the highest score based on Newsweek’s unique scoring system. Dr. Rohrich also appeared in the other lists, ranking number 1 for facelifts, number 1 for eye lifts, number 1 for liposuction, and number 2 for breast augmentation. Dr. Rohrich also ranked number 1 for both rhinoplasty and facelift surgery in Newsweeks Best Plastic Surgeons lists in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
“I’m extremely honored to have been recognized by Newsweek in this unique peer reviewed process,” says Dr. Rohrich. “These types of awards are valuable tools that can help guide patients towards well qualified plastic surgeons as surgeon selection is the single most important factor for ensuring a successful outcome in plastic surgery.”
A long-standing advocate for patient safety, Dr. Rohrich lectures frequently around the world at surgical conferences and educational meetings promoting innovations in safe and effective plastic surgery practices and much of his writing and presentations focus on rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty, that is, correcting previously performed rhinoplasty that have had poor outcomes. Dr. Rohrich is also the author of the authoritative textbooks on the subject, “Dallas Rhinoplasty: Nasal Surgery by the Masters” which is now published in six languages.
“Rhinoplasty truly epitomizes plastic surgery as a whole because it is a surgery of such great finesse and takes years to master,” says Dr. Rohrich. “Patients should always do their research and choose their surgeon carefully. Make sure he or she is board certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties, and has the expertise and the experience to deliver a safe and satisfactory outcome.”
