For Out of Town Patients
Patients travel to Santa Barbara from across the country to see Dr. Sara Yegiyants, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon known for the kind of precision and artistry that comes from nine years of postgraduate surgical training paired with formal training in the visual arts. Her advanced techniques and honed skill set have been shaped by thousands of surgeries, extensive publication in peer-reviewed journals, and regular presentations to fellow plastic surgeons at national and international meetings. For patients who want that level of experience overseeing their procedure, a trip to Santa Barbara is well worth the travel.
Santa Barbara itself makes the trip easier to plan around. Known as the American Riviera, it offers a relaxed coastal setting with the ocean, mountains, and downtown Santa Barbara all within a short distance of each other. Whether you are staying for a single consultation or settling in for a longer recovery period, you will find comfortable places to stay, easy access to good food, and plenty of low-key ways to pass the time between appointments. Below, Dr. Yegiyants shares some of her personal recommendations for making the most of your visit.
