Choosing to go through plastic surgery is personal, so it is important to find a plastic surgeon who will treat you like a unique and special person. Here at Haute Beauty, our experts are one-of-a-kind, living up to all the expectations you’d have for your surgeon.

With excitement, we introduce Haute Beauty expert Dr. Thomas McNemar of the San Francisco Bay Area. Dr. McNemar is known for the training and experience that he uses to create your ideal appearance. To get to know the expert who is both approachable and has an incredible bedside manner, Haute Beauty sat down with him to discuss his achievements, practice, and professional endeavors.

My greatest achievement:

To use my gifts to help our patients achieve their goals.

What is the future of your field?

Cosmetic surgery will be for everyone. In the near future I see people getting cosmetic surgery as a part of living a healthy lifestyle and aging gracefully.

The biggest misconception about my field is…

“Plastic Surgery equals Perfection.”  Yes, we are plastic surgeons who have incredible experience and aim for perfection, but as you know, perfection is unrealistic. When you seek perfection, you may feel let down, so managing the expectation is an important part of the surgery process. 

My most requested procedures:

• Facelifts
• Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty (Upper and Lower Lid Surgery)
• Breast Augmentation
• Mastopexy (Breast Lift/Reduction)
• Abdominoplasty

What surgical advancements are you most excited about?

Minimally invasive procedures and techniques that promote faster recovery.  For example, Facelifts can be done without general anesthesia resulting in a more rapid recovery.

What are you best known for?

I often hear it is my bedside manner, I treat every patient with optimal care.

What is your most memorable patient reaction?

When someone tells me that “you changed my life,” that has the greatest impact on me as a plastic surgeon.

What sets your practice apart?

Our patient’s goals are our priority.  Taking them through the surgery process from the consultation to post-operative care with support, comfort, and optimal results to achieve the look they desire is what we strive for.

What I love most about my profession:

Helping others become the best version of themselves. “Every patient is beautiful and unique. I believe that cosmetic surgery can renew and accentuate one’s outer beauty while enhancing inner beauty and a higher sense of confidence.”

Career-defining procedure?

Facelifts are my signature procedure.

What new services are you excited to offer?

Lower Blepharoplasty (a.k.a. Lower Lid Surgery) done without visible incision.
