Delgado, Jr., M.D. is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of the American Society for Plastic Surgery, the most exclusive and respected plastic surgery organization in the world.
Dr. Delgado graduated, with honors, from the University of California San Francisco in 1982 followed by his internship and residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. Johns Hopkins is recognized at the preeminent teaching hospital in the United States as it has trained more surgical chairmen than any other hospital. Stony Brook University Medical Center in East Meadow, NY provided Dr. Delgado with his plastic surgery residency. This extensive training provided Dr. Delgado with exceptional experience in all aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Upon completion of surgical training, Dr. Delgado opened is private practice in the San Francisco Bay area, specifically the beautiful town of Novato in Marin County. In 1994, Dr. Delgado proudly opened his second office located in the heart of San Francisco, Union Square. With the desire to create the best possible surgical experience for his patients, Dr. Delgado opened Marin Cosmetic Surgery Center, adjacent to his office in Novato. This Surgery Center is a fully accredited, state-of-the-art facility with staff that supports Dr. Delgado’s extraordinary level of care. Since 1988, Dr. Delgado has successfully completed thousands of surgeries with aesthetic plastic surgery as his primary focus. Procedures routinely performed by Dr. Delgado are facelifts, mommy makeovers, breast procedures, tummy tucks and gynecomastia reduction surgery.
Beautiful results with very pleased patients have been the foundation of Dr. Delgado’s extraordinary reputation. Dr. Delgado and his surgical team have been filmed for educational programs by BBC, Discovery Australia, Fox News as well as numerous other productions in the US. Women and men come from all over the United States and beyond our borders to have procedures performed by Dr. Delgado.
Volunteering for mission work has been very rewarding for Dr. Delgado. Most recently, he repaired cleft palates on Guatemalan children; the volunteers, families, community and organization involved created a very successful surgical experience for all involved. This occurrence has motivated Dr. Delgado to seek more volunteer opportunities that will treat children born with debilitating defects.
Because there are so many options for patients today, Dr. Delgado is very motivated to keep his plastic surgery practice at the forefront in terms of procedures, techniques and options for his patients. Nothing brings greater satisfaction to Dr. Delgado and his team than happy patients. They all take great pride in their work and are dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care and results.

Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, a board certified plastic surgeon and founder of BuildMyBod.com, a website that lets consumers search for plastic surgery pricing information and local doctors joins eHealth Radio and the Plastic Surgery Information Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Jonathan Kaplan discuss the following: Tell us about your company called Build My Bod.Why is this important? Who searches for plastic surgery information?Tell us about the physicians on BuildMyBod.com – what are their qualifications?There is a BuildMyBod app as well?You write a blog as well – what are some of the typical topics our listeners would find of interest, and how do they subscribe?Is there a health tip about BuildMyBod.com you would like to give our listeners?
Duration: 12:55
Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, a board certified plastic surgeon originally from Alexandria, LA, is now proud to call San Francisco home. After completing his plastic surgery fellowship at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic where he was trained by the same team that performed the first US face transplant, he practiced in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for six years before acquiring Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery in San Francisco.
While in Baton Rouge during his first six years in practice, Dr. Kaplan built a busy cosmetic practice. His area of focus ranged from facial to body cosmetic surgery, as well as cosmetic medicine, including injectibles such as BOTOX for wrinkles and fillers for smile lines. Dr. Kaplan’s brother-in-law Dr. Mark Hausmann is a weight loss surgeon in Baton Rouge, and this resulted in Dr. Kaplan gaining a great deal of experience in body contouring after massive weight loss.
Dr. Kaplan noticed that patients were coming to consultations without an appreciation for the different costs associated with plastic surgery. He found that most patients couldn’t find an estimate for plastic surgery on the internet and when they would call the doctor’s office, they would hear the same explanation. “The doctor can’t give estimates over the phone since surgical needs are different for everyone.” While it is true that everyone has unique needs, there’s nothing wrong with giving an estimate online so the patient can know if surgery is out of their budget.
From that realization, BuildMyBod.com was born. BuildMyBod is a website and iPhone/iPad app that Dr. Kaplan developed. It allows patients to find plastic surgeons in their area, peruse the various procedures the doctor offers and get itemized estimates on those procedures. In the process, Dr. Kaplan and the patient are connected through an email “wish list” that the patient submits. If the price is within the patient’s budget, this could lead to a consultation that is now more-informed and without the typical “sticker shock” that so many patients experience with their plastic surgeon.
