Hector Salazar, MD, FACS "My promise to my patients is that I will do everything in my power to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking result in the safest way possible.

Building a solid relationship with my patients is incredibly important to me—and my daily goal is to ensure everyone who walks through the door feels comfortable, important, and well cared for."

-DR. SALAZAR

Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes, a double board-certified plastic surgeon in San Diego, CA, is passionate about cosmetic surgery—and he loves nothing more than seeing a patient’s confidence transform after a procedure. With over a decade of experience and countless procedures under his belt, Dr. Salazar-Reyes has the knowledge to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals. After 17 years of training and practice, Dr. Salazar’s philosophy centers on graceful surgical excellence. He brings the precision of a surgeon to the care of his patients, has them return home ready for the demands of everyday life, and provides anti-aging benefits beyond simple fat removal. When he saw plastic surgery as a career option, Dr. Salazar knew he had found his calling — and he's been performing surgery since 2005. He received his medical degree from the University of Baja California, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude, before completing a general surgery internship at the University of Illinois Metropolitan Group of Hospitals program. His experience has given him a wealth of knowledge about the field, as well as an extensive roster of expertise in medical treatment for breast surgery, body contouring, and skin treatments. Dr. Salazar completed his general surgery residency at the world-famous Houston Methodist Hospital. He completed his plastic surgery residency training at the same institution and was then board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
