Dr. Sam Jejurikar Named One of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons by Newsweek for the Fifth Consecutive Year
Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Jejurikar has been named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons 2026, compiled in partnership with the global research firm Statista. It is the fifth year in a row Dr. Jejurikar has earned a place on the list, a distinction he has held every year since 2022.
About the Newsweek America’s Best Plastic Surgeons List
Newsweek and Statista’s annual ranking is one of the most closely watched recognitions in aesthetic surgery. The 2026 list names 576 plastic surgeons across the United States in six procedure categories: breast augmentation, facelift, rhinoplasty, liposuction, tummy tuck, and eyelid surgery.
Rankings are driven by recommendations from medical professionals, with more than 10,000 votes cast nationwide, and weigh credentials such as certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In other words, the list reflects how plastic surgeons and other physicians rate their peers: the people best positioned to judge surgical skill.
Recognized for Facelift, Liposuction, and Tummy Tuck
This year, Dr. Jejurikar was recognized in three categories: facelift, liposuction, and tummy tuck. Being named in both facial and body procedures reflects the breadth of his practice, which spans facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, and body contouring.
Five Years of Consistency
A single award can reflect a good year. Five consecutive years reflects something more durable: a reputation among peers that holds up year after year. Dr. Jejurikar has now been recognized by Newsweek every year since 2022 [read about his 2025 recognition], in addition to being repeatedly named a D Magazine Best Doctor in plastic surgery.
“Being recognized by colleagues is the honor that means the most to me, because they know what goes into this work,” said Dr. Jejurikar. “But the real measure is the patient in front of me. My goal has always been natural, safe results and an honest conversation about what surgery can and can’t do. I’m grateful to my patients and my team for making this possible.”
What This Means for Patients
Choosing a plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions a patient makes. Independent, peer-based rankings like Newsweek’s give patients a useful starting point, alongside board certification, before-and-after photos, reviews, and, most importantly, an in-person consultation.
Dr. Jejurikar is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is also co-host of Beauty and the Beasts, a podcast where he and fellow plastic surgeon Dr. Sal Pacella break down what actually works in aesthetic surgery.
