Best Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons in Tampa (2026)

10 active facelift surgeons are listed in the DeepPlane registry for Tampa as of August 2026 — from facial-plastic practices in South Tampa and Westshore to university-affiliated surgeons across the bay. The 9 below all carry NPI-checkable identities, ordered by verification status first, then the public DeepPlane Score — never by payment.

Tampa is one of Florida's busiest facelift markets and draws patients from across the Gulf Coast. Florida also has stricter office-surgery rules than most states — facilities performing surgery outside a hospital must register with the Florida Board of Medicine — so the licensure check here does double duty: confirm the license and you also learn where the surgeon may legally operate. Every surgeon below links to a full DeepPlane profile.

How This List Is Built

  • Verified first, always. Surgeons who claimed their profile and confirmed control of their practice email domain (Medical Advisor, then Verified tier) are listed before unverified registry listings — that ordering is editorial policy, not a score outcome.
  • Transparent order within each band. The public DeepPlane Score (verification & identity, credentials, academic record, patient signals, transparency — 0-100) sets the order inside each verification band, computed live from registry data.
  • No paid placement, no prices. No surgeon can pay to appear or to move up, and this page carries no price claims — cost questions belong on the sourced cost guide.
  • What takes a name off. A surgeon leaves this list the moment they leave the registry — license action, failed identity verification, practice closure or the registry blacklist. The same removals the live directory applies, applied here on the next read.

How to Vet a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon in Tampa

Board certification, then the board itself

The surgeons on this page certify under ABPS, ABFPRS or ABOHNS — the boards under which facelift surgery is actually trained and examined. "Board certified" alone tells you little until you know which board: verify the claim directly in that board's own public lookup, not on the practice's website. Then confirm the NPI: every US clinician has a public record in the NPPES registry (npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov), and every surgeon baked into this page carries one.

Florida's office-surgery rules work in your favor

Florida requires facilities performing office-based surgery to register with the Board of Medicine and meet equipment, staffing and transfer-protocol standards. When you verify a Tampa surgeon's license on the Board's public lookup, also ask which registered facility your operation would take place in and who administers anesthesia there — the answers should be specific, not reassurances.

Questions that separate deep plane from marketing

  • How many deep plane facelifts do you perform per year, and what share of your practice is facial surgery?
  • Do you release the facial retaining ligaments and reposition the SMAS as a composite flap — and can you walk me through where your plane of dissection runs?
  • Can I see before-and-after photos of patients my age, including results at one year or later?
  • Which registered facility is the surgery performed in?
  • Who administers anesthesia, and what is your revision policy?
