Surgical Experience
Tim Neavin, MD - Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
The Artist-Surgeon
Dr. Neavin is more than a plastic surgeon—he is a published medical illustrator and sculptor. This artistic foundation allows him to visualize surgical outcomes with the precision of a classical artist, understanding the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and proportion that creates natural beauty.
Signature Techniques
Dr. Neavin's "Artisan Deep Plane" Facelift and Preservation Rhinoplasty techniques set him apart. Unlike traditional methods that create a pulled appearance, his approach manipulates deeper structural layers for results that look naturally untouched.
Commitment to Santa Maria Valley Patients
Dr. Neavin understands that traveling for surgery is a significant commitment. His team offers virtual consultations to minimize trips, flexible scheduling to accommodate your drive, and comprehensive pre- and post-operative planning to make your experience as seamless as possible.
The Value of Expertise
Beverly Hills Credentials
Dr. Neavin operates one of the most respected plastic surgery practices in Beverly Hills. His Santa Barbara location brings that same level of expertise closer to Santa Maria—without the LA traffic or prices.
The "Un-Operated" Look
Dr. Neavin specializes in results that look naturally refreshed, never "done." His artistic background ensures outcomes that enhance your features rather than alter them—ideal for patients who value discretion.
Hospital-Grade Safety
Major procedures are performed at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, a renowned medical center with board-certified anesthesiologists and comprehensive surgical support—providing peace of mind for patients traveling from Santa Maria.
Procedures Available to Santa Maria Patients
Dr. Neavin offers the full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures. From subtle enhancements to transformative changes, each treatment is customized to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using implants or fat transfer for natural-looking results.
Facelift & Neck Lift
Dr. Neavin's signature deep plane facelift restores youthful contours without the telltale "pulled" appearance.
Mommy Makeover
The mommy makeover combines breast and body procedures to restore your pre-pregnancy figure in a single surgical session.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes and refines the nose to achieve facial harmony while preserving natural character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have a virtual consultation before driving to Santa Barbara?
Absolutely. We encourage Santa Maria Valley patients to schedule a virtual consultation first. This allows you to discuss your goals with Dr. Neavin, receive preliminary recommendations, and determine if you're a good candidate—all from the comfort of home. If you decide to proceed, we'll schedule an in-person appointment for examination and surgical planning.
Where will my surgery be performed?
Major surgical procedures are performed at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, a renowned medical center with state-of-the-art surgical suites and board-certified anesthesiologists. Dr. Neavin maintains full surgical privileges there, ensuring the highest level of safety for patients traveling from Santa Maria.
How many trips will I need to make?
The typical schedule includes: (1) Virtual consultation from home, (2) One in-person pre-operative appointment, (3) Surgery day, (4) One or two follow-up visits. Our team works to consolidate appointments and can often combine your pre-op visit with other preparations. For patients who prefer, we can also arrange local post-operative monitoring in coordination with providers closer to Santa Maria.
Should I stay overnight after surgery?
Yes, we recommend patients from Santa Maria stay at least one night in Santa Barbara following surgery. We can suggest comfortable recovery accommodations in Montecito and Santa Barbara. You'll need a responsible adult to drive you home, and we'll schedule your first post-operative appointment before you leave the area.
What's the best route from Santa Maria?
Take US-101 South for approximately 70 miles. The drive passes through beautiful wine country near Buellton and Los Alamos before following the coast through Goleta. Exit at Olive Mill Road (Exit 91A), turn left, then right onto Coast Village Road. Our office is in Coast Village Circle, Suite D. Free parking is available on-site. Plan for about 65-75 minutes depending on traffic.
Why travel to Santa Barbara instead of LA?
Our Santa Barbara location offers Santa Maria patients the best of both worlds: Dr. Neavin's Beverly Hills-caliber expertise in a setting that's closer, less congested, and more private. The 65-minute scenic drive south is far easier than navigating Los Angeles traffic—and our Montecito office provides a quieter, more personalized experience than a busy metropolitan practice.
