About Me

Dr. Harinder Chahal is an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon who specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids, face, and neck. He is the only surgeon in the central valley to earn fellowship in three prestigious organizations: the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the American Society of Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the American College of Surgeons. Furthermore, he is central California's only surgeon board certified by both the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery and the American Board of Ophthalmology.

His practice is exclusively limited to functional and cosmetic eye and facial surgery, offering expertise in an art and science that demands specialized multidisciplinary training. He has been voted "Best Plastic Surgeon" in the Bakersfield Californian’s Reader’s Choice Poll. He remains actively involved in teaching surgeons-in-training as a faculty member at the UC Davis School of Medicine, with a dual appointment in the departments of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, and Ophthalmology.

Dr. Chahal is a product of the Central Valley and is proud to follow in the footsteps of his father, who worked as a surgeon in the valley for over 35 years. His unique surgical skillset has proven invaluable in numerous medical mission trips where specialty care is inaccessible, including trips to Honduras, Mexico, and India.
