Dr. Katerina Gallus Becomes President-Elect of the San Diego Plastic Surgery Society

Published September 9, 2024 by Katerina Gallus, MD FACS
San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Katerina Gallus

We have exciting news to share with our patients and community: our very own San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Katerina Gallus has just been named the President-Elect of the San Diego Plastic Surgery Society (SDPSS). This new role is meaningful to Dr. Gallus, her team, and the entire San Diego plastic surgery community. We share more details below. 

About the San Diego Plastic Surgery Society

The San Diego Plastic Surgery Society (SDPSS) is a prestigious organization made up of board-certified plastic surgeons dedicated to promoting education, research, and ethical practices. Members of the SDPSS are some of the most highly qualified experts in the plastic surgery specialty and must be certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to be eligible to join the organization. Being a part of the society shows a commitment to excellence and a passion for advancing the field of plastic surgery, something Dr. Gallus embodies perfectly.

Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon ensures you receive exceptional care from a provider committed to delivering safe, beautifully natural results.

What this new role means for Dr. Gallus

As she steps into her new role as President-Elect, Dr. Gallus is focusing on supporting her fellow surgeons and enhancing professional development opportunities. She believes that investing in ongoing education and skill development is the best way for plastic surgeons to stay on the cutting edge of new trends and techniques, ultimately leading to better patient care—the top priority for Dr. Gallus and the entire staff at her La Jolla plastic surgery center.

Dr. Gallus is passionate about community engagement and educating patients on the importance of choosing board-certified plastic surgeons for their procedures to experience safe and effective treatments with optimal outcomes.

“I recently had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Gallus, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding experience I had. Dr. Gallus is not only highly skilled but also an exceptionally personable and caring person. What truly sets them apart is their dedication to ensuring that every patient’s needs are met promptly and respecting patients’ time. My procedure with Dr. Gallus went extremely well, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I have healed remarkably quickly, thanks to Dr. Gallus’s follow-up care. Her post-operative care was as attentive as her pre-operative care, ensuring that my recovery was as smooth as possible. I would like to thank Dr. Gallus and her exceptional team for consistently providing a great customer experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gallus to everyone.”

Dr. Gallus’ leadership experience

Dr. Gallus has held notable leadership positions throughout her 20-year career, including serving as the chair of several committees within the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, making her an ideal figure to step into the President-Elect role for the SDPSS. Before founding Restore SD Plastic Surgery, she proudly served in the U.S. Navy, where she successfully commanded key leadership positions and perfected her expertise in complex reconstructive procedures. Dr. Gallus’ unique medical background and extensive experience have shaped her into a plastic surgeon who understands the science behind the procedures and values the art of patient care and education. 

Beyond her commitment to providing top-notch surgical and non-surgical services to the San Diego and La Jolla communities, Dr. Gallus is a true advocate for her field and her patients. She’s lectured nationwide on plastic surgery topics, has been featured in numerous national publications, and is an active voice for ethical practices and women in plastic surgery, making her a respected figure both locally and beyond.

A bright future for San Diego’s plastic surgery community

Under Dr. Gallus’s leadership, the San Diego Plastic Surgery Society will continue to thrive as a beacon of excellence and innovation in the field.
