Philadelphia, PA—Dr. R. Brannon Claytor, a double board-certified plastic surgeon and Chief of Plastic Surgery for Main Line Health, has once again been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor—a prestigious honor that recognizes his excellence in patient care, surgical innovation, and contributions to the field of plastic surgery. Dr. Claytor has been a Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2017. This distinction places Dr. Claytor among an elite group of physicians who have been rigorously vetted and recognized by their peers for their expertise and commitment to outstanding medical care.
“Continuing to receive the Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognition is an incredible honor,” said Dr. Claytor. “I am grateful to my peers for this distinction, but most of all, I am grateful to my patients who trust me and my team to help them achieve their aesthetic goals. Our practice is built on a foundation of compassion, safety, and the pursuit of natural, transformative results.”
The Castle Connolly Top Doctor selection process is known for its rigorous evaluation criteria. Physicians are nominated by their peers and undergo an extensive vetting process by a physician-led team of Castle Connolly’s researchers. The evaluation includes a thorough review of credentials, education, hospital affiliations, professional achievements, and commitment to patient care. Becoming a Top Doctor is a highly respected mark of excellence. Over 1,000,000 U.S. doctors were nominated in 2025, and fewer than 7% of the nation’s doctors earned the title.
Dr. Claytor is the Medical Director of Claytor Noone Plastic Surgery and is widely known for his expertise in facial rejuvenation and body contouring, including the advanced deep plane facelift technique and his innovative drain-free tummy tuck approach. His work prioritizes long-lasting, natural-looking results with a focus on streamlined recovery and patient comfort.
In addition to providing exceptional surgical care, Dr. Claytor is a frequent speaker at national and international plastic surgery conferences, sharing his research and expertise with fellow surgeons. He has presented at leading medical meetings, including those of The Aesthetic Society and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), and his research has been published in esteemed plastic surgery journals. His commitment to education extends to his social media presence, where he engages with patients and peers alike, offering insights into the world of plastic surgery and patient care. Further, he recently debuted a podcast in which he interviews his patients post-operatively.
Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Claytor remains an advocate for patient education, frequently contributing to discussions on best practices in plastic surgery and post-operative care. His philosophy centers around empowering patients with knowledge, allowing them to make informed decisions about their aesthetic journeys. His informative videos, blog posts, and patient success stories have made Claytor Noone Plastic Surgery a valuable resource for individuals seeking expert guidance on cosmetic procedures.
“This recognition by Castle Connolly is a reflection of the entire team at Claytor Noone Plastic Surgery,” Dr. Claytor added. “From our front office staff to our surgical team, every person plays a vital role in ensuring our patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident in their decision to pursue aesthetic enhancement.”
Dr. Claytor has consistently been recognized as a leader in his field, earning repeat honors from Philadelphia Magazine and Main Line Today as a “Top Doctor.” His patient-first approach, combined with his extensive surgical expertise, has solidified his reputation as one of the best plastic surgeons in the Philadelphia area. Additionally, his involvement in research and mentorship within the plastic surgery community continues to contribute to the advancement of the field. Dr. Claytor’s most recent contribution, a breakthrough nanofat treatment for wrinkles called “LaMiNa,” was featured in a recent New Beauty article, which touted the remarkable efficacy of a treatment he developed to treat stubborn lines around the mouth, a condition that not even surgical intervention can fully address.
