Cosmetic plastic surgeon David Bottger named a 2023 Castle Connolly Top Doctor

    NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA, January 26, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- David A. Bottger, MD, has been recognized as a 2023 Castle Connolly Top Doctor — the sixth time he has received the prestigious Top Doctor honor. Only about 7 percent of the nation's licensed physicians are selected annually as Castle Connolly Top Doctors in their regions for their specialties.

Dr. Bottger is a cosmetic plastic surgeon known for his patients' natural-looking results and the outstanding care he provides. His private practice is located in Newtown Square, in the Philadelphia metro area.

Dr. Bottger skillfully performs a wide range of advanced cosmetic procedures — many minimally invasively or non-invasively — that target the breasts, face, and body.

They include breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lifts; liposuction; abdominoplasty ("tummy tuck") and "mommy makeover"; facelifts, arm lifts, thigh lifts, body lifts, and "Brazilian butt lift." Many procedures involve the skillful transfer of fat cells.

"If a patient seeking cosmetic surgery has a correctable problem and, importantly, realistic expectations, they are usually a good candidate for a given procedure," Dr. Bottger says. "If those criteria are met, we counsel the patient that, although complications or a less than desirable result can occur, these outcomes are far less likely than a favorable result."

Dr. Bottger is affiliated with Bryn Mawr Hospital, Crozer Health Surgery Center at Haverford, and Crozer Health Surgery Center at Brinton Lake.

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Bottger is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Bottger earned his medical degree at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine. He completed a four-year surgery residency at University of Cincinnati Medical Center, as well as a plastic surgery residency and a hand surgery fellowship — both at the Cleveland Clinic.

"The most gratifying aspect of my work as a plastic surgeon is witnessing the profound effect that surgery can have on a patient's self-confidence and, ultimately, their quality of life," Dr. Bottger says. "This never gets old!"

Top Doctors are nominated by peer physicians and selected by the physician-led Castle Connolly research team.

"I have always considered it an honor to be named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor," Dr. Bottger says.
