A little nip in here, a little tuck over there. Plastic surgeries, be it reconstructive or cosmetic, can definitely help a person as it could assist the body function better, enhance one’s looks and boost morale as well. With that in mind, here is a list of the top 10 best plastic surgeons in the world today.

He later established the Clinica Ivo Pitanguy, a private clinic in Botafogo in Rio de Janeiro where he trains other surgeons and operates on clients. Pitanguy is considered a pioneer in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery and his clinic specializes in the well being of both mind and body.
9. Dr. Raj Kanodia, California

He is behind Ayurmedic, a foremost skincare brand that combines herbs and anti-aging compounds. He is known to conduct extensive consultations before proceeding with surgery.

7. Dr. Woffles Wu, Singapore

He earned his degree from the National University of Singapore and worked in pediatrics at the Toa Payoh Hospital in the 80s. In 1989, he transferred to the Singapore General Hospital where he worked as a plastic surgeon for 12 years. He then set up a private practice at the Camden Medical Centre. He invented the Woffles Lift, a facial rejuvenation procedure performed under local anesthesia with no skin being removed.
6. Dr. Des Fernandes, South Africa
Dr. Des Fernandes graduated from the Witwatersrand University in South Africa before becoming a fellow at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. He trained in cardio-thoracic surgery and was part of Christiaan Barnard’s team that performed the first double heart transplant in the world. He then shifted to plastic surgery under the tutelage of Dr. David Davies. Fernandes pioneered a facelift technique called Suture Suspension that minimized scarring and restored dropped tissues to its original place. Nylon threads are then placed through tiny incisions, which then lift and tighten the facial area from the eyebrows to the jaw.
5. Dr. Jorge Herrera, Argentina

He is known to be an expert in the field of reconstructive surgery, helping out patients of all ages regardless of background. He performs surgery on people with unsightly birth defects and with injuries suffered from accidents.

4. Dr. Michel Pfulg, Switzerland

Coleman is credited for the invention of a fat-grafting technique called lipostructure that is designed to restore the luster of young skin. While it enhances a person’s natural assets, it can also correct several deformities, like scarring due to acne or problems brought about by other medical procedures.
1. Dr. Olivier H. de Frahan, France and England
Dr. Olivier Henry de Frahan is a French plastic surgeon who practices in both France and England. He specializes in cosmetic surgery procedures, particularly in Botox, fillers and lipostructure. He is also well known for the natural-looking results of his procedures, especially in eyelids and facelifts. He advocates a restoration of volume when performing his cosmetic surgeries, as he views a full face to be a better representative of youth. Providing more volume, along with tightening of the skin, can help rejuvenate the face in a more holistic way.
