About Michael Brucker, MD

Dr. Brucker is a skilled La Jolla plastic surgeon with more than 19 years in practice. Combining both technical expertise and an artist’s intuition of the human form, he provides patients with the natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing changes they seek. In Dr. Brucker’s care, you can expect a high level of individualized attention and his personal investment in not only meeting, but exceeding your expectations. He founded his practice on the premise that offering patients more time in direct consultation, detailed information about their options, and a greater focus on their comfort creates the best results and the best patient experience. Based on a track record of excellent outcomes and a practice that is driven by referrals from happy patients, this approach has been proven most successful. Dr. Brucker is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is the former President of the San Diego Society of Plastic Surgeons and the former Medical Director and present Board Member of Fresh Start Surgical Gifts. He is a Fellow of the The Aesthetic Society and the American College of Surgeons. In addition, he has hospital privileges with both Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla and Rady Children’s Hospital as a Staff Surgeon. Dr. Brucker received his medical degree from Northwestern Medical School in Chicago, Illinois. He completed a significant portion of his post-degree training at the Brown University School of Medicine and in its renowned plastic surgery program. His training also included additional training in cosmetic surgery at Baker Stuzin Baker in Miami, Florida. Dr. Brucker developed expertise in procedures for the face, breasts, and body through years of experience as a surgical resident, plastic surgery resident, and chief resident in plastic surgery at Rhode Island Hospital. He entered private practice in 2002. His contributions to the field go beyond his work as a plastic surgeon in La Jolla. He has conducted research as part of Brown University’s Department of Plastic Surgery as well as with the Wound Healing Laboratory at Northwestern University. His journal articles cover topics in rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, and wound healing, and he has been invited to lecture and present at several of the profession’s top conferences.
