Profile

Dr. Stanley G. Poulos—now retired—was raised in a small town, where he developed a strong work ethic and a desire to help people. The same determination and drive that helped him succeed at the highest level of collegiate football spurred him to excel in his training and ultimately to establish Plastic Surgery Specialists. Dr. Poulos specialized in cosmetic breast surgery and body contouring procedures, helped pioneer the quicklift facial rejuvenation surgery in California, and was recognized as one of the leading plastic surgeons in Marin County and the entire San Francisco Bay area before he retired.

A graduate of the University of Texas Medical School, Dr. Poulos completed his internship and residency at the prestigious UC San Francisco Medical Center. He completed a plastic surgery fellowship at St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He was Chief of Plastic Surgery at Marin Medical Center, then served as Benefit Skin’s Medical Director.

Dr. Poulos’s expertise and experience were garnered over the course of a very successful career. He was known for his warmth, sense of humor, and great listening skills. He created an extremely successful Plastic Surgery Center and Spa due to his constant quest for the best techniques and technologies that kept PSS on the cutting edge of an ever-evolving world of aesthetics.

He was a member of the American Society of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons, the California Society of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the Marin Medical Society, and the California Medical Association.

Prior to his retirement, patients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area selected Dr. Poulos as their plastic surgeon.

Dr. Hvistendal is amazing! I had a situation that took place up north and he collaborated with the my doctor and was willing to take me in immediately and take a look at my issue. I am very grateful because he took the time to explain everything to me, and most of all, that he solve the problem, and he probably saved my lip! The office staff and Dr. Hvistendal are so helpful, friendly, and approachable. I will definitely come back to Dr Hvistendal for any other issues that I might have in the future.

Dr H, as his fans call him, is the best! You will not be disappointed with what his artistry and skill will achieve for you. I've known a number of surgeons and worked for two so had the opportunity to see close up the "before" and "after" results for women and men. If you've been putting off the surgery for something that's driving you crazy, honestly, it's not worth the delay. You'll be happy - be it for you or the man in your life that needs a little encouragement. Clare Michael
