Nov 9, 2026
Southwest Plastic Surgery also earns top-three honors for Med Spa and Tattoo Removal in the reader-voted awards
El Paso, Texas, United States, November 9, 2026 -- El Paso Inc. has released the results of its Best of El Paso awards for 2026, and readers have again voted Frank Agullo, MD, FACS, the city’s Best Plastic Surgeon and Best Cosmetic Surgeon. It is the sixth consecutive year Dr. Agullo has taken both categories. His practice, Southwest Plastic Surgery, was also recognized among the top three in the Med Spa and Tattoo Removal categories.
The Best of El Paso is a citywide reader poll run by El Paso Inc., the city’s business weekly. Every May, El Pasoans vote for their favorite businesses and professionals across hundreds of categories, and the results are announced each October. The awards are decided entirely by public vote.
“Proud to be recognized by our El Paso and Southwest community as Best Plastic Surgeon and Best Cosmetic Surgeon for six years in a row,” Dr. Agullo said. “Southwest Plastic Surgery was also recognized among the top three for MedSpa and tattoo removal.”
The winners were announced at the awards event. “We didn’t know before the actual event and award presentation, so it was hard to keep it under wraps,” Dr. Agullo said. “We could only share with so few of our staff, but the event itself made that word real, and we were able to celebrate as a team.”
Dr. Agullo credited the practice’s staff for the run of honors. “I don’t think I can pinpoint the merit to just one event or one person. It is really a team approach to plastic surgery and a patient-centered philosophy,” he said. “None of this would be possible without my wonderful team.”
Dr. Agullo, known internationally as Dr. WorldWide, is double board certified in plastic surgery and general surgery. He completed his plastic surgery fellowship at the Mayo Clinic and serves as Clinical Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Affiliate Professor at the University of Texas at El Paso. He has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 13 consecutive years, 2014 through 2026, and served as founding vice president and later president of the World Association of Gluteal Surgeons.
Southwest Plastic Surgery offers surgical procedures of the face, breast and body alongside a physician-supervised MedSpa providing injectables, laser treatments, skin care and laser tattoo removal. The Med Spa and Tattoo Removal honors recognize the practice’s clinical aesthetics team, which works under the same standards and in the same practice as the surgical team. “With so many med spas in the Southwest, it is really significant to be ranked among the top three,” Dr. Agullo said. “One of the factors that sets our med spa apart is that it is led by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a passion for providing state-of-the-art therapies and treatments in a safe environment.”
More than 70 percent of the practice’s patients travel from other cities, states and countries. “We are very happy to have put El Paso and the Southwest on the map for top-level plastic and cosmetic surgery services,” Dr. Agullo said. “To El Paso and the Southwest community, I am very grateful. Your vote of confidence only reassures me that we are providing top-level plastic and cosmetic surgery services in the Southwest. It motivates me to continue to grow and seek out the latest technologies for our community.”
“To our patients and everyone who voted: thank you for your trust and continued support,” Dr. Agullo said. “These honors belong to all of us.”
