PLASTIC SURGERY (INTEGRATED) · APPLICATION CYCLE 2026–2027
Track your Plastic Surgery (Integrated) residency applications — every program, signal, and interview.
Integrated Plastic Surgery grew faster than almost any other surgical specialty in the 2026 Match — 230 positions offered, up 4.1% year over year, filling at 99.1% with only 2 spots left open nationwide (Source: American College of Surgeons, ACS Brief, March 2026). 93 of those programs are in CycleDoc's directory across 38 states — a single continuous six-year match starting at PGY-1, with no separate General Surgery residency required first, and a 20-signal AAMC allowance with no gold tier.
Built by a former residency director of medical education and core faculty member who read thousands of applications.

PLASTIC SURGERY (INTEGRATED) SPECIFIC
How many Integrated Plastic Surgery positions are there nationally?
230 were offered in the 2026 Match, up 4.1% from the year before, filling at 99.1% (Source: ACS Brief, March 2026). CycleDoc's directory lists the accredited programs behind that number; positions per program vary, so program count and position count aren't interchangeable.
With 20 flat signals, how far should I spread them?
Twenty is a comparatively wide allowance for a surgical subspecialty, with no gold tier forcing you to pick a top handful. Most applicants still concentrate signals on realistic programs rather than using all 20 evenly across a maximal list — the tracker just needs you to commit to a plan and stay under budget.

FAQ
Reasonable questions.
Do Emergency Medicine and OB/GYN use ERAS?
No. Emergency Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology apply through ResidencyCAS, operated by Liaison, with a September 17, 2026 deadline. Most other specialties use ERAS, where applicants can submit to programs starting September 2, 2026 and programs begin reviewing September 23, 2026. If you're applying to EM or OB/GYN and another specialty, you complete both applications separately, on each platform's own timeline. Ophthalmology is separate again — it matches through the SF Match and does not use ERAS signaling. CycleDoc tracks whichever applies to you.
