About

Dr. Deepa Bhat is a board-certified plastic surgeon in the Tampa Bay area whose practice centers on aesthetic surgery of the face, breast and body. She treats both women and men, offering aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Her listed procedures include facelifts, neck lifts, lip lifts, eyelid surgery, facial fat grafting, breast augmentation, breast lifts and reductions, implant removal, gynecomastia surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, labiaplasty and vaginoplasty. She also gives Botox and dermal filler injections. The site refers to her as the lip specialist in Tampa, lists her among the Tampa Bay Top Docs for 2024, 2025 and 2026, and she is one of a small group of fellowship-trained aesthetic plastic surgeons in the area.

She earned a B.S. in Brain, Behavior, and Cognitive Science and a B.S. in Spanish, with University Honors, from the University of Michigan (2007 to 2011), followed by a Doctor of Medicine from Rush Medical College in Chicago (2011 to 2015). General surgery training came next at the University of Illinois Metropolitan Group Hospitals in Chicago (2015 to 2017), then a research fellowship at Johns Hopkins University (2017 to 2018) on tissue-engineering work using a nanofiber-hydrogel composite for fat grafting. Her integrated plastic surgery residency at Albany Medical Center ran from 2018 to 2022. A one-year aesthetic surgery fellowship under Dr. Francisco Canales, from 2022 to 2023, included faculty Drs. Heather Furnas, Dino Elyassnia and David Sieber. The fellowship covered rejuvenation of the face, breast, body and genitals, with complex revision breast surgery, high-definition liposuction, UGRAFT, deep plane facelifts and deep plane necklifts. During the fellowship she also gave neuromodulator and dermal filler injections at an injectables clinic.

She was board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 2025. Her record includes more than fifteen peer-reviewed publications, a book chapter in a plastic surgery textbook, podium presentations at national meetings of The Aesthetic Society and the American Society of Plastic Surgery, an ACS Clinical Congress 2018 e-Poster of Exceptional Merit, and the Albany Medical College Plastic Surgery Residency Citizenship Award from June 2021.

For tummy tucks she adds liposuction to contour the waist and repairs separated core muscles at the midline. The site names upper and lower eyelid surgery and facial fat grafting among her favorite procedures. Patient testimonials on the site describe her technique as gentle and her results as natural-looking.
