Samer Cabbabe

Dr. Samer Cabbabe is one of the most advanced and sought-after plastic surgeons in the world, specializing in transformative body contouring and complex aesthetic reconstruction. A native of St. Louis, he trained at Emory University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, earning highest honors, and scored in the top 2% nationwide on the oral Plastic Surgery Board Examination after seven years of surgical training.

With over 15 years in practice, he ranks among the world's highest-volume body contouring surgeons, specializing in advanced skin removal following massive weight loss, mommy makeovers, breast implant surgery, high-definition liposuction, Brazilian Butt Lift procedures, and revision cases many surgeons decline to perform. His signature innovation is a drainless technique for lower and upper body lifts, designed to reduce complications, improve comfort, and speed recovery -- the subject of his published peer-reviewed research showing lower complication rates than traditional drain-based approaches.

He was named to Newsweek's list of America's Best Plastic Surgeons for 2026 in all three of his core categories -- breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck -- and has been repeatedly featured in St. Louis Magazine's "Best Doctors in St. Louis." Through his Cabbabe International Breast and Body Contouring Mentorship Program, surgeons from around the world travel to St. Louis to learn directly from him.

Dr. Cabbabe is a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, The Aesthetic Society, and the International Society of Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS). He served as Chief of Plastic Surgery at Mercy South Medical Center (2014-2025) and as Past President of both the Missouri Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and the Saint Louis Metropolitan Medical Society.
