Dr. Demetri MD

Dr. Demetri is a facial plastic surgery and medical aesthetic practice at 3216 W Azeele St. in Tampa. It combines surgical facial procedures, non-surgical treatments, facials and hair restoration in one office, and the practice says its office is state-of-the-art. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and consultations are booked by contacting the office, online or with a photo consultation request.

Facelift surgery is a central focus, including deep plane and mini facelift options. According to the practice, a deep plane facelift releases and repositions the deeper facial layer, and it says results typically last ten years or more. Facelifts can be done without general anesthesia using IV sedation, while deep plane facelifts use twilight sedation monitored by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The procedure is outpatient, usually three to four hours, and patients need a friend or family member to drive them home and stay overnight. Recovery support includes lymphatic massage, hyperbaric oxygen, red light therapy and a post-treatment Morpheus8 session.

Surgeries take place at a private, state-licensed surgery center that the practice describes as QuadA certified. Quoted surgery prices include anesthesia and facility fees. The practice lists average costs such as $20,000 to $35,000 for a deep plane facelift, $10,000 for a brow lift or chin augmentation, $10,000 for a lip lift and $8,000 to $15,000 for a hair transplant, with personalized quotes given at consultation. Out-of-town patients can get help planning transportation, accommodations and aftercare, and financing is available through CareCredit, including for out-of-pocket costs not covered by medical insurance.

Beyond the face and neck, the surgical menu includes eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, buccal fat removal, facial fat transfer, liposuction and scar revision. Lip lifts are usually done with the patient awake under local anesthesia, and the practice draws patients from nearby communities such as Clearwater and St. Petersburg for them. Non-surgical options include Botox, micro Botox, fillers, PDO thread lift, Morpheus8, SOFWAVE, FaceTite, laser skin resurfacing and body tightening.

The facial menu is spa-style. The Lymphatic Drainage Facial runs 90 minutes and includes a lymphatic massage, a hydrating mask and red LED light. The Skin Rejuvenation Facial runs 80 minutes and is designed to support healing after Morpheus8. The Hydroderm Facial is also 80 minutes and uses a Hydroderm machine, oxygen therapy and custom serums. The Facial Lift is 80 minutes and uses microcurrent aimed at the jawline and cheekbones. Hair restoration includes hair transplant and hairline lowering surgery, and the practice provides hair loss medication information.

Each patient's surgical plan and goals are considered individually during consultation, and candidacy for cosmetic procedures is decided case by case. Surgical and recovery plans are customized for each patient, and facelift candidacy can be confirmed through a virtual consultation.
