Restore SD Plastic Surgery announces that its founder, Dr. Katerina Gallus, will serve as President-Elect of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS) for the 2026-2027 term, a role that precedes the presidency she is set to assume in 2027. The board-certified plastic surgeon will advance from her current role of Vice President in April 2026, continuing to represent plastic surgeons across California in matters of patient safety, surgical excellence, and professional standards.
The California Society of Plastic Surgeons serves as the leading professional organization for board-certified plastic surgeons throughout the state, advocating for high standards in patient care and surgical practice. The organization plays a crucial role in shaping state-level policy, education initiatives, and professional development programs that impact both practitioners and patients across California.
Dr. Gallus brings extensive leadership experience to the position. She recently gave a keynote presentation at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ Women Plastic Surgeons Symposium, where she addressed resilience in medicine. Her service in CSPS leadership reflects her commitment to advancing the plastic surgery profession through organized medicine and advocacy on the state and national level.
"This leadership role represents an opportunity to influence the future direction of plastic surgery in California, particularly in areas of patient safety, surgical innovation, and professional education," said Dr. Katerina Gallus. "The CSPS plays a vital role in maintaining the highest standards of care while advocating for policies that benefit both plastic surgeons and plastic surgery patients throughout our state."
The appointment comes at a time when plastic surgery practices face evolving regulatory requirements, advancing surgical techniques, and changing patient expectations. Through her President-Elect role in CSPS, Dr. Gallus will help guide the organization's response to these challenges while promoting excellence in surgical practice and patient outcomes.
Dr. Gallus has served the plastic surgery community for over two decades, beginning her career as a Navy plastic surgeon before establishing her private practice in San Diego. Her professional achievements include recognition as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor and inclusion on the organization's Exceptional Women in Medicine list in 2024. She maintains membership in multiple professional societies, including The Aesthetic Society, American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and American College of Surgeons.
The California Society of Plastic Surgeons council includes representatives from both Northern and Southern California, supporting comprehensive representation of the state's plastic surgery community. The organization focuses on continuing medical education, legislative advocacy, and promoting ethical standards in plastic surgery practice.
Restore SD Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive aesthetic and reconstructive surgery services from its office in the La Jolla area of San Diego. The practice specializes in face, breast, and body procedures, including breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and labiaplasty, along with non-surgical treatments and skin care services. Dr. Gallus and her team provide personalized treatment approaches emphasizing patient safety and natural-looking results.
