Now the Director of Surgery at the San Francisco Plastic Surgery and Laser Center, Dr. Usha Rajagopal has built a strong reputation in her local area of the San Francisco Bay area and the U.S. as a whole over the last two decades. Over the course of what has been one of the most respected careers in the reconstructive and plastic surgery fields, Dr. Rajagopal has taken the field of cosmetic surgery and non-surgical techniques to a new level as the use of new technologies and procedures have allowed this esteemed surgeon to build a career envied by many of her peers as a board-certified surgeon.

Usha Rajagopal has built much of her success on the integrity and respect her practice in San Francisco operates with but also through the fact she is always looking to create a better future for as many of her patients as possible. Since taking control of the San Francisco Plastic Surgery and Laser Center, Dr. Rajagopal has attempted to change the way the plastic surgery field is operated by placing the focus purely on the needs of the individual patient. Empowering her patients has become the most fervent desire of Dr. Rajagopal who believes entering her surgical space should be a warm and welcoming experience for all patients regardless of gender. To this end, the surgeon has created an all-female team of surgeons, nursing staff, and administrators who all work to build the confidence of every patient as they look for a high-quality procedure to be completed by some of the best-trained medical staff in the world.

Before Dr. Usha Rajagopal could look to create a high-quality surgical experience for her patients she had to complete the 15 years of training and education required to become one of the most respected surgeons in the spiritual home of cosmetic surgery, California. In the early days of her education, Usha Rajagopal made here way to the University of Texas at Dallas in 1980s to begin her undergraduate studies; this was followed by the completion of graduate studies at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and an Internship and Residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas.

After completing her residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dr. Rajagopal may have been a qualified surgeon but her thirst for knowledge remained keen and led to her returning to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School where she completed a Research Fellowship. The educational career of Dr. Rajagopal was completed in its formal fashion with a Fellowship at the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from the University of California at San Francisco.

After heading into private practice in San Francisco, Dr. Rajagopal made it clear she was always looking to continue her education by bringing the latest in technologies and techniques to her practice to better aid her patients. One of the most important areas of technology being brought into the San Francisco Plastic Surgery and Laser Center has been the development of 3-D imaging technology which has been used to complement the skills of the surgical team at the San Francisco Plastic Surgery and Laser Center. The use of 3-D imaging has been used to allow patients to discover the projected outcome of the procedures they are looking to use as they pass through the doors of the respected Bay Area practice.

Plastic surgery has been a growing area of importance for many as the desire to keep back the effects of aging and reflect on the needs of a new way of exploring the latest in non-surgical procedures. Non-surgical procedures are a sector of cosmetic surgery which is the fastest growing in the sector and now forms a major part of the work of Dr. Rajagopal who was named the 2017 “RealSelf” Most Loved Injector as the rising need for non-surgical techniques to be used in a fast and efficient manner.

In her work as a media pundit and writer, Dr. Usha Rajagopal has been willing to provide a glimpse into her skills and experience as a plastic surgeon and cosmetic surgery expert willing to provide her skills for those who may not be able to reach her on a one-to-one basis. Working with such well-known publications as “Marie Claire” and “Reader’s Digest”, the surgeon has made clear her own belief in the success which can be achieved through non-surgical procedures for those who wish to start their beauty regimen at an early age and continue to maintain a youthful appearance for decades after they begin procedures at a young age.
