Best Facelift Surgeons in Tampa — Deep Plane (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 8 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?

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the best deep plane facelift surgeon in Tampa?
There is no single official ranking, so DEEPPLANE™ orders Tampa surgeons by a fixed public rule: verified surgeons first, then the public DEEPPLANE™ Score. As of September 2026 no Tampa surgeon's DEEPPLANE™ verification is in force, so every row is a registry entry ordered purely by score, and Dr. Demetri Arnaoutakis leads on score. No surgeon can pay for placement, and every profile links to independently checkable credentials.
How many deep plane facelift surgeons are there in Tampa?
The DEEPPLANE™ registry lists 10 active facelift surgeons in Tampa as of August 2026 — this page shows the 8 whose identity is NPI-checkable, ordered by the registry's ranking rule. The complete roster, with filters and full profiles, is on the Tampa directory at deepplane.com/tampa.
What credentials should a Tampa facelift surgeon have?
Look for certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS), or the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS) — the three boards under which facial surgery is actually trained and examined. "Board certified" alone is not enough: some cosmetic boards are not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties, so ask which board, then verify it directly with that board's own lookup.
How do I verify a Tampa surgeon's license and NPI?
Two free checks take under five minutes. First, search the surgeon's name in the NPPES NPI Registry (npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov) — every US clinician has a public NPI record showing their specialty taxonomy; each surgeon on this page carries an NPI-verified identity badge for exactly this reason. Second, verify their Florida medical license and any office-surgery registration through the Florida Board of Medicine's public lookup (flboardofmedicine.gov), which also shows disciplinary history.
What should I ask in a deep plane facelift consultation in Tampa?
Ask how many deep plane facelifts the surgeon performs per year and what share of their practice is facial surgery; whether they release the facial retaining ligaments and reposition the SMAS as a composite flap rather than pulling skin; to see before-and-after photos of patients your age and anatomy, including results at one year or later; which accredited facility the surgery is performed in; who administers anesthesia; and their revision policy.
How much does a deep plane facelift cost in Tampa?
This page makes no price claims — fees in Tampa vary widely with the surgeon's experience, the extent of surgery, anesthesia and facility fees. For sourced, regularly updated cost ranges by country and procedure scope, see the DEEPPLANE™ cost guide at deepplane.com/deep-plane-facelift-cost, and always confirm an itemized quote in writing during your consultation.
