Callista Surgery Center
When selecting a facility for plastic surgery, the location itself matters as much as the surgeon performing your procedure. Callista Surgery Center sets a new standard in surgical care for patients seeking plastic and reconstructive procedures in the Bay Area, combining cutting-edge medical technology with the personalized attention that only a private institution can provide.
About Callista Surgery Center
Callista Surgery Center serves as the surgical home for Golden State Plastic Surgery’s comprehensive plastic and reconstructive surgery practices. This state-of-the-art facility was designed specifically for the complex procedures that define modern plastic surgery, from rhinoplasty and facelift surgery to breast and body plastic and reconstructive surgery and gender-affirming facial procedures.
The center prioritizes two elements that patients consistently identify as most important: safety and comfort. Every aspect of the facility reflects this commitment, from the advanced surgical equipment to the relaxed, welcoming environment that helps patients feel at ease before and after their procedures.
Led by Expertise, Accredited at the Highest Level
Our surgeons and anesthesiologists are highly trained, experienced, and board certified, completing some of the most rigorous training available in their fields. This comprehensive background means patients receive care from surgeons who are dedicated to quality and safety.
Callista Surgery Center is proud to be fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC)—a prestigious, hospital-level certification that reflects our unwavering commitment to your safety and care. This elite accreditation is awarded only to surgery centers that meet the nation’s most rigorous standards in patient safety, infection control, emergency preparedness, and ongoing staff training. Unlike basic state licensure or routine outpatient certifications, AAAHC accreditation involves an intensive on-site evaluation and continuous quality oversight, ensuring that every aspect of your surgical experience meets or exceeds the same benchmarks used in top hospitals. For our patients, this means exceptional, evidence-based care delivered in a calm, private setting—providing unmatched reassurance, superior safeguards, and true peace of mind from start to finish.
The Advantages of a Private Surgical Facility
Callista Surgery Center operates as a private institution, which creates meaningful benefits for patients. Private facilities function independently from federal funding and the administrative complexities that accompany government-supported healthcare systems.
When facilities depend on federal funding, they become vulnerable to policy shifts, budget changes, and administrative disruptions that can affect scheduling, staffing, and available resources. Callista Surgery Center maintains complete operational autonomy, which means patients can schedule their procedures with confidence that external factors will not impact their surgical experience or timeline.
Privacy is another crucial advantage of our facility model. The center maintains strict privacy protocols without the extensive reporting requirements and data sharing that characterize state and federally funded institutions.
When questions or concerns arise, patients communicate directly with our dedicated team rather than navigating layers of institutional bureaucracy. This direct access creates a more personal and private surgical experience.
State-of-the-Art Technology
Modern plastic surgery requires precise equipment and meticulously controlled surgical conditions. Callista Surgery Center features advanced technology specifically selected for plastic surgery procedures, including high-resolution imaging systems, specialized surgical instruments, and monitoring equipment that ensures patient safety throughout every procedure.
The facility meets rigorous accreditation standards for outpatient surgical centers, with comprehensive safety protocols and emergency preparedness systems in place.
What to Expect at Callista Surgery Center
The surgical experience at Callista Surgery Center follows a carefully structured process designed to maximize safety and minimize stress. Before surgery, patients receive detailed instructions regarding medications, eating and drinking restrictions, and preparation steps.
On the day of surgery, patients arrive at the center with a family member or friend who will drive them home after the procedure. Patients should bring photo identification, insurance cards, and any required medical forms.
The center recommends wearing loose, comfortable clothing and avoiding makeup, jewelry, and contact lenses. After surgery, patients receive comprehensive post-operative instructions tailored to their specific procedure, including medication management, activity restrictions, dietary recommendations, and signs that warrant contacting your surgeon’s office.
