What sets Dr. Stompro apart from the rest?

Brett E. Stompro, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a board-certified plastic surgeon recognized as one of the premier facial rejuvenation specialists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Repeatedly voted Best of the East Bay and recognized among the top plastic surgeons in the nation, Dr. Stompro pairs rigorous clinical training with artistic precision. Graduating at the top of his class from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and completing his fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery at UC Davis, he has built a reputation for combining state-of-the-art technological precision with a natural, sculpted aesthetic that leaves patients looking refreshed, vibrant, and effortlessly restored.

With a master level of experience that includes performing over 2,000 facelifts, Dr. Stompro specializes in the most advanced deep-plane and multi-layer surgical techniques available today—cutting-edge procedures performed by less than 5% of plastic surgeons nationwide. Rather than pulling or stretching the skin, this sophisticated approach restores underlying facial structures to their youthful positions, eliminating hollows, redefining jaw and necklines, and producing strikingly natural, long-lasting results with minimal visible scarring. Each procedure is meticulously tailored to the unique contours and aesthetic goals of the individual.

Whether you are seeking subtle rejuvenation or a complete facial restoration, experience the unparalleled expertise of a true surgical master.

A cornerstone of Dr. Stompro’s exceptional safety model is his dedicated surgical team.

Dr. Brett E. Stompro, M.D., F.A.C.S., has elevated facial rejuvenation into its most sophisticated era with his Generation 4.0 Structural Facelift and Necklift—an ultra-advanced procedure performed by fewer than 5% of plastic surgeons nationwide. Moving far beyond earlier techniques that merely pulled skin or tightened surface layers, Dr. Stompro addresses the complete architecture of facial aging. By working beneath the platysma muscle, he meticulously sculpts deeper structural elements, including subplatysmal fat, digastric muscles, and submandibular glands, while seamlessly releasing key restraining ligaments. Backed by his master-level experience of over 2,000 facelifts, this approach recreates a crisp, defined jawline and smooth neck contour, delivering transformative results that look effortlessly youthful, balanced, and completely natural rather than surgically altered.

This exceptional level of surgical mastery is matched by an uncompromised commitment to patient safety.

Being named Best Plastic Surgeon of the East Bay every year Dr. Stompro’s practice has submitted for consideration is one of the accolades he treasures most—because it cannot be bought. Unlike national “Top Doctor” lists often seen in seat-back airline magazines where physicians pay thousands of dollars for inclusion, the Best of the East Bay award is determined entirely by real people casting genuine votes. Winning this title year after year is a direct reflection of patient satisfaction, proving that Dr. Stompro simply has more happy, delighted patients than any other plastic surgeon in the region.

This ongoing recognition also highlights the extraordinary culture of continuity and care at The Art of Beauty Plastic Surgery & MediSpa. Exceptional surgical outcomes are backed by an exceptional team: Dr. Stompro’s partner, Dr. Chester Cheng, alongside their Practice Manager and Clinical Director, have all worked together for over 20 years. In an industry where staff turnover is high, this rare two-decade foundation of shared excellence ensures that every patient experiences unmatched expertise, warm familiarity, and seamless care at every step of their journey.
