Waldman Schantz Turner Plastic Surgery Center has been named a gold winner in the Cosmetic Surgery category of the Lexington Herald-Leader‘s 2026 Best of Lexington awards, a readers’ choice program in which Central Kentucky residents nominate and vote for their favorite local businesses.
The 2026 Best of Lexington results are in, and our team is honored to once again be recognized as a gold winner in the Cosmetic Surgery category. The Lexington Herald-Leader‘s program celebrates the businesses, people, and places that make the Bluegrass region such a special place to live. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is how winners are chosen: local residents submit nominations and then vote for the businesses they trust most. In other words, this award comes directly from our community.
An Honor Shaped by Our Patients
Cosmetic surgery is a deeply personal decision. Patients place enormous trust in their surgeon, their care team, and the environment where their procedure takes place. When people take the time to cast a vote on behalf of our plastic surgeons in Lexington and the dedicated team here at our practice, it tells us that their experience left a lasting impression, from the first consultation through the final follow-up visit. We don’t take that lightly.
This year’s Best of Lexington award also continues a long tradition of recognition from Lexington readers that stretches back several years. Each year we are reminded that this kind of consistency is earned one patient at a time.
What Sets Our Practice Apart
Our center brings together three accomplished surgeons: Dr. S. Randolph Waldman, Dr. Stephen A. Schantz, and Dr. J. Brad Turner. With more than six decades of combined experience, our team offers a full range of facial, breast, and body procedures. Dr. Waldman alone has performed more than 2,500 rhinoplasty procedures over his career, and advanced options such as facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, and mommy makeovers are also routinely performed at our practice.
Patients can also benefit from our state-of-the-art, in-office surgical suite, designed with safety and comfort as top priorities. For those seeking non-surgical options, our Skin Chic Medical Spa offers injectables, laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, and medical-grade skin care, giving patients a convenient way to maintain and enhance their results.
Above all, we believe every treatment plan should be built around the individual. Our surgeons take the time to listen, answer questions honestly, and help each patient set realistic goals that can complement their natural features.
