Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles CA
Barrett Plastic Surgery is the Beverly Hills practice of Dr. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS — a Los Angeles plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and licensed by the Medical Board of California. Dr. Barrett has practiced plastic surgery since 2008, opened this practice at 9701 Wilshire Boulevard in 2014, and has performed more than 5,000 breast augmentation procedures.

Patients come to us from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and across greater Los Angeles — and a substantial share fly in from out of state. What they get is the same in every case: one board-certified surgeon, a holistic approach, an accredited operating room, and natural results you can inspect in our before-and-after gallery and patient stories before you ever book a consultation.

Our Surgical Center: Quad A-Accredited Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills
Ivy Surgical Center is our Quad A-accredited outpatient surgery center at 9701 Wilshire Boulevard — two fully staffed operating rooms built for plastic surgery in Beverly Hills, with a dedicated recovery suite and an anesthesia team on every case. Only board-certified plastic surgeons hold operating privileges at the facility. Accreditation means the center is independently inspected against national standards for sterilization, equipment, staffing, and emergency protocols — the same safety question every patient should ask of any surgeon, anywhere in Los Angeles. Take the virtual tour or see our practice.
Physician Formulated Supplements: Barrett Recovery
Barrett Recovery was founded by Dr. Daniel Barrett, who recognized the need for high-quality wellness solutions beyond the operating room. Inspired by the importance of recovery, cellular health, and longevity, he created a line of physician-formulated products designed to support the body at every stage of life. Barrett Recovery combines science, innovation, and everyday wellness to help people feel their best.
Plastic Surgery Procedures We Perform
The practice covers surgical and non-surgical work across four categories — breast, body, face, and non-surgical treatments. The procedures patients most often travel to Beverly Hills for: breast augmentation, mommy makeover, facelift and surgery after massive weight loss. Each procedure page covers candidacy, technique, risks, and recovery — reviewed by Dr. Barrett.
