Defining Excellence in Healthcare
Timothy RankinCosmetic surgeries help individuals renew confidence by enhancing appearances and restoring deformities. However, the commercial nature of their medical practices can often create gaps in offering ethical care. These gaps can hinder the delivery of reliable procedures and leave patients uncertain about their cosmetic journeys.
NorCal Plastic Surgery, led by Dr. Timothy Rankin, MD FACS, bridges these with a focus on patient-centricity, goal-driven surgery, and non-surgical cosmetic treatments.
He is a board-certified Plastic surgeon and a member of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), specializes in facelift (facial rejuvenation) and rhinoplasty (nose surgery). His expertise extends to breast surgery and mommy makeovers, which have become a source of joy for mothers seeking to address the after-effects of childbirth.
“Surgery can be a scary concept for many patients. Recognizing this, our patient coordinators closely work with patients to dig deeper into their specific concerns and how it impacts their overall well-being,” says Dr. Rankin, owner of NorCal Plastic Surgery.
During his professional journey, he learned that not every patient’s unique circumstances, health conditions, or personal preferences can be addressed with a one-size-fits-all approach to cosmetic solutions.
The team at NorCal Plastic Surgery assesses candidates’ suitability for surgical or non-surgical interventions. They leverage peer-reviewed data to help develop safe, aesthetic strategies tailored to patient needs while staying updated with the latest trends in the industry.
This ensures the consistent delivery of high-quality, ethical, and regulated cosmetic care.

Showcasing NorCal Plastic Surgery’s prowess is the story of a retired patient, Jane (not her real name), who was troubled by the fact that her outward appearance no longer matched her inner youthfulness and energy. Jane felt that she looked tired but didn’t know why. Working with Dr. Rankin, they were able develop a plan to address only the elements that bothered her. This plan addressed fine lines via a brow and eyelid lift, deep plane facelift, and laser resurfacing.
Jane felt prepared and empowered by the preoperative process and education provided by NorCal Plastic Surgery. The day of surgery went very well and she went home the same day without pain. Despite her research and preparation, the normal swelling made Jane anxious, leading her to question if she had made the right decision. After surgery, she was followed closely by Dr. Rankin and his team, who were able to examine and confirm that her experience was normal and that her initial changes would soon subside.
Six to eight weeks after the procedure, the swelling faded, and the patient was very satisfied with the outcome. NorCal Plastic Surgery’s aesthetic skillset and preoperative process are thorough and data driven. Dr. Rankin ultimately gave the patient the youthful, rested, and refreshed look that Jane desired. As Jane said, “Trust the process.”
Stories like this and the consistently positive feedback they garner highlight NorCal Plastic Surgery’s excellent patient care. These scenarios elaborate on how its surgeries are subtle and transformative, giving every candidate a refreshed, happy, and energetic appearance.
Akin to its priority on patient satisfaction, NorCal Plastic Surgery emphasizes improving the quality of life for employees by creating an enjoyable and collaborative work environment. Dr. Rankin believes in being supportive and thoughtful of a coworker’s hard work, which directly contributes to the company’s mission of helping patients regain confidence to pursue their life goals.
