BLUE BELL, PA, January 17, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Vivian M. Hsu, MD, has been recognized as a 2025 Castle Connolly Top Doctor — the fourth year she has received the esteemed Top Doctor honor. Only about 7 percent of the nation's licensed physicians are chosen annually as Castle Connolly Top Doctors in their regions for their specialties.
Dr. Hsu is a plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic surgery of the breasts, body, and face. She joined the Philadelphia-area practice Best Impression Cosmetic Surgery and Surgical Center in 2014 and became the owner in 2020.
Best Impression Surgical Center is a state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center that has earned the highest-level certification from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities.
Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Hsu is known for her surgical expertise, attention to detail, caring demeanor, and the natural, balanced, artful results of her patients.
She skillfully performs an array of advanced cosmetic procedures. They include breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, labiaplasty, "mommy makeover," earlobe repair, rhinoplasty ("nose job"), facelift, arm lift, abdominoplasty ("tummy tuck"), and liposuction.
"My approach to cosmetic surgery is to tailor every procedure to each patient's anatomy and desired goals, so your surgery is customized to you uniquely," Dr. Hsu says. "I find that having a bespoke surgical plan makes our patients feel the most comfortable in their own skin."
"In addition, by owning our own private surgical center, we are able to maintain cost-effective prices for our patients. Patients don't have to travel into the city to get excellent, high-level surgical care."
At consultations, Dr. Hsu and her team spend time listening to their patients discuss their goals and their journey so they can craft the best plan together.
"My nurses and I take a complete health history, explain the procedures thoroughly, and take the time to answer any and all questions our patients may have," Dr. Hsu says. "We also try to give our patients a comprehensive experience with 3-D imaging, photos, and sizers (when applicable) to enable them to make the best decisions for themselves."
Dr. Hsu is one of the few female plastic surgeons in the Philadelphia area and one of the few plastic surgeons in the area that owns a surgical center.
"I offer a different perspective, and patients who have chosen us have been seeking that," Dr. Hsu says. "My nurses who assist me at our surgical center also see patients with me at the office, so we offer continuity of care that makes our patients feel comfortable and seen."
"I think what also comes with being a female plastic surgeon and having an all-female staff is that we take the time to listen, we are realistic about what's achievable, and we feel a solidarity with our patients to help them achieve the best self that they want to see."
Dr. Hsu earned her medical degree at Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed six years of residency training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, serving as chief resident during her final year. She is currently affiliated with Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital.
She also holds a bachelor of arts degree (biology and English) from the University of Pennsylvania, where she was a Benjamin Franklin Scholar and graduated summa cum laude.
Top Doctors are nominated by peer physicians and selected by the physician-led Castle Connolly research team.
"It is a tremendous honor for me to be recognized by my peers," Dr. Hsu says. "The Philadelphia area is home to so many truly skilled physicians and surgeons, many of whom have represented the benchmarks of excellence, and I am privileged to be considered one of them."
