Dr. Steven Camp is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Fort Worth specializing in advanced deep plane facelift and neck lift surgery, breast augmentation, mommy makeover, and rhinoplasty. Over the course of his career, he has performed approximately 12,000 face, breast, and body procedures. Dr. Camp draws patients from throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, and from across the United States, for his anatomy-respecting approach, natural-looking results, and commitment to surgical precision.

Known for his signature bow ties and approachable personality, Dr. Camp combines advanced surgical expertise with a patient-centered philosophy that has helped earn him a loyal following of “#HappyCampers.” He is bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish, and values building personal, culturally aware connections with patients throughout every stage of their surgical journey. 

Surgical Foundation

Dr. Camp’s pursuit of advanced training began the first year after his fellowship, with a 40-hour course at the Mayo Microvascular Surgery Training Center (2014), taught by four Mayo Clinic faculty. Microsurgical precision—operating cleanly under magnification in confined anatomical spaces—remains the technical foundation of his aesthetic work.

Advanced Surgical Training & Continuing Education

Dr. Camp completed a rigorous three-tier surgical training pathway that included a full general surgery residency at Carolinas Medical Center, chief residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Utah, and an advanced Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship at the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Institute under fellowship director Daniel C. Mills II, MD.

Following formal residency and fellowship training, Dr. Camp has continued advanced procedural education with many of the world’s leading aesthetic surgeons.

Deep Plane Facelift

Dr. Camp completed the Mendelson Deep Plane Face Lift and Mayo Clinic Aesthetic Facial Contouring Hands-On Surgical Skills Course at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota (August 2023), with Bryan C. Mendelson, FRCSE, FRACS, FACS, serving as course chairperson. Dr. Mendelson’s decades of anatomical research on the facial ligaments form the foundation of the modern deep plane technique, and his Mayo Clinic course is considered the benchmark for advanced facelift training.

Dr. Camp extended his training in December 2023 with the Comprehensive Treatment of the Aging Face and Eyes course, a two-day hands-on cadaver program directed by Guy Massry, MD; Ben Talei, MD; and Steven Pearlman, MD—three of the most recognized names in facial and periorbital rejuvenation. He also completed Advanced Techniques in Facial Reconstruction at Saint Louis University School of Medicine (October 2022) under course directors L. Mike Nayak, MD; Andrew Jacono, MD, FACS; Wilbur Hah, MD; and T. Gerard O’Daniel, MD, FACS.

Rhinoplasty

Dr. Camp has completed three cadaver courses with Dean Toriumi, MD—widely regarded as one of the most influential rhinoplasty surgeons of his generation—across three consecutive years: Contemporary Rhinoplasty (April 2022), Preservation Rhinoplasty+ (November 2023), and the 2nd Annual Preservation Rhinoplasty+ course (November 2024), co-directed with Aaron Kosins, MD. Returning to the same instructor’s program year after year reflects a depth of study that goes well beyond a single certificate.

In Istanbul, Dr. Camp completed two programs with Teoman Dogan, MD, PhD, one of the innovators of preservation rhinoplasty: the Teorhinoplasty Fellow Program at American Hospital Istanbul (October 2022) and the Teorhinoplasty Cadaver Course at Koç University Hospital (May 2023).

He also completed the Nayak–Çakır Masterclass (September 2023), an unusual program that pairs a six-week art curriculum on aesthetic perception with a three-day hands-on facelift and rhinoplasty cadaver course in Istanbul. Dr. Camp completed both components and was recognized as a Fellow of the program

Body Contouring

Dr. Camp traveled to Bogotá, Colombia, in August 2021 for a 28-hour High Definition Lipo intensive course offered by invitation only and taught by Alfredo Hoyos, MD—the surgeon who invented the high definition liposculpture technique. The program carries dual certification from Dr. Hoyos’s Total Definer platform and from
FUCS (Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud), a Colombian health sciences university. Because Dr. Camp is fluent in Spanish, he trained in Dr. Hoyos’s native language—a distinction very few American surgeons who make this trip can claim.

Eyelid & Periorbital Surgery

Dr. Camp completed the Aesthetic Eyelid and Facial Rejuvenation program at UCLA’s Stein Eye Institute (2015)—one of the nation’s leading academic centers for periorbital surgery. The course was administered through the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He deepened this training in December 2023 under the instruction of Guy Massry, MD, one of the most widely published oculoplastic surgeons in the field, as well as Ben Talei, MD, and Steven Pearlman, MD.

Ongoing Education

Dr. Camp maintains a continuous focus on refinement, technical precision, and improving the patient experience alongside surgical outcomes.

Fort Worth’s Facelift Specialist

Having completed more than 500 facelifts to date, Dr. Camp is recognized as one of Texas’ leading facelift surgeons. He has specialized expertise in the deep plane facelift, performing 50 to 70 of these advanced, technically demanding procedures each year. The deep plane facelift, performed by less than 5% of surgeons nationwide due to its complexity, repositions the deeper facial layers to restore youthful contours without an overly tight appearance.

Dr. Camp regularly lectures on advanced aesthetic surgery techniques at national and regional educational meetings. Recent presentations include: 

  • Deep Structure Neck Lift “Go Deep or Go Home”: Strategies for treating the difficult neck in the era of Ozempic and massive weight loss, ASPS Spring Meeting (March 2025) 
  • Deep Structure Neck Lift:Personal Approach and Evolution, American Brazilian Aesthetic Meeting (February 2025)

  • Facelift Techniques: Complications Prevention and Management, Aesthetic Meeting in Austin, TX, Facelift panelist (March 2025) 

These achievements, combined with his decades of surgical experience and reputation for artistry, establish Dr. Camp as a trusted authority in advanced facelift surgery. Patients across Fort Worth and Texas choose him for results that are elegant, lasting, and natural-looking.

The Camp Plastic Surgery Difference

Dr. Camp and his team set the highest standards for patient care and safety, going above and beyond the “norm” for plastic surgery. He performs surgeries in his own world-class surgery center that boasts two Quad A operating rooms, overnight care, and a state-of-the-art ActivePure air purification system.

In addition, his long-time staff (many of whom have been with Dr. Camp since the very beginning!) provide exceptional continuity of care. Dr. Camp and his team know their patients on a personal level and work seamlessly with one another to deliver the smoothest patient experience.

Then, there are the 4 T’s:

  • Technology
  • Techniques
  • Training
  • Team

Together, these factors combine to create The Camp Plastic Surgery Difference. As Dr. Camp puts it, “Many practices offer standard procedures (like tummy tuck). It’s not what procedures we do, but how we do them” that sets his plastic surgery practice apart.

Confidence should never be out of reach. Learn more about our patient-centered financing options.

Expertise In Action

In practice, those 4 T’s look something like this:

Liposuction

Dr. Camp’s global pursuit of excellence has taken him to South America as well. He has trained in Colombia under body contouring expert Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, the creator of High Definition Liposculpture. In addition, he attends yearly masterclasses through Dr. Hoyos’ Total Definer Academy.

Back in Texas, Dr. Camp applies his advanced training with specialty liposuction procedures, including power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and VASER liposuction. He owns multiple types of machines, allowing for superior customization for his patients and tailored treatment plans.

Mommy Makeover

Similarly, Dr. Camp’s mommy makeover procedures offer an unmatched level of breast enhancement. His breast lift patients benefit from the GalaFLEX® internal bra, offering strength, stability, and support to healing tissues.

If his patients choose to add implants (on their own or as part of their breast lift), Dr. Camp uses fat grafting to add soft, natural volume for more refined augmentation results. This is a special combination that isn’t offered by many practices.

What about body contouring? Patients getting a tummy tuck will enjoy a “lipoabdominoplasty,” a combined tummy tuck and liposuction procedure. Dr. Camp also adds Renuvion® skin-tightening to the treatment plan and incorporates Vitamin C and scar lasering as part of patients’ postoperative care.

Facelift

One of Dr. Camp’s signature procedures, the “total facelift” expands the scope of a traditional facelift to include the brow, eyes, lips, and neck as well. His practice is also unique in offering full laser resurfacing in the operating room as part of a facelift.

Dr. Camp has earned a certificate from Sciton® for laser resurfacing and has also trained with nationally and internationally recognized masters in facelift techniques, including Dr. Teoman Dogan in Turkey, Dr. Mike Nayak in St. Louis, Missouri, and Dr. Andrew Jacono in New York.

Rhinoplasty

As mentioned earlier, Dr. Camp has traveled to Turkey numerous times to study and master the “Teorhinoplasty” technique created by Dr. Dogan. This method focuses on functional preservation and precise, personalized aesthetic enhancements.

In addition, Dr. Camp attends the Dallas Rhinoplasty Symposium each year to advance and refine his knowledge and skills in nose surgery.

A Vibrant Professional Life

Dr. Camp’s passion for aesthetic medicine extends beyond his time as the president and CEO of Camp Plastic Surgery. He is a member of several regional, national, and even international societies, including:

  • The Aesthetic Society
  • American Society of Plastic Surgeons
  • Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons
  • Fort Worth Plastic Surgery Society
  • Fort Worth Surgery Society
  • North Texas Specialty Physicians

Dr. Camp has earned the respect of his fellow surgeons and established himself as a leader in the plastic surgery field. He currently serves as the Administration Vice Commissioner for The Aesthetic Society’s AestheticConnect Committee and was chair of the Product Development and Market Research Committee. Dr. Camp has also contributed to committees focused on emerging technology and electronic communications.

Beyond his work with The Aesthetic Society, Dr. Camp is a member of the RealSelf Ad board and a member of the advisory board for Allergan Aesthetics. He serves as a national advisor on the AYON system by Renuvion and is among a limited group of surgeons invited to introduce and use this technology in advanced body contouring. He is also a contributing reviewer for the Aesthetic Surgery Journal and a contributing editor for The Plastic Surgery Channel™, a global media platform for credible, accessible plastic surgery information.

Distinguished Speaker and Educator

Dr. Camp is a nationally recognized speaker and trainer for Sciton®, providing hands-on laser resurfacing training for aesthetic health professionals. Dr. Camp’s laser expertise began with advanced training on Sciton’s JOULE platform under A. Jay Burns, MD, of Dallas (November 2019), one of the country’s foremost aesthetic laser educators. That training led directly to Sciton selecting Dr. Camp as Program Lead and Educator for its Laser Preceptorship—a role reserved for surgeons the manufacturer trusts to train other physicians. Since July 2022, he has trained more than 50 physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners at his Fort Worth practice.

He has moderated a panel for The Aesthetic Society and has been invited to present his research at leadership summits and annual meetings for professional societies.

Since 2020, Dr. Camp has served as a voluntary faculty member for Texas Christian University’s Burnett School of Medicine.

In addition, Dr. Camp furthers the knowledge in his field through published research. His studies can be found in prestigious academic and professional publications, including Journal of Trauma, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, and Journal of Surgical Research, among others.

I leave [Dr. Camp’s office] feeling like I just had a great visit with a friend.”

The Philosophy Behind #HappyCampers

Dr. Camp establishes authentic personal connections with his patients by helping them feel at ease from the moment he meets them. Building a foundation of trust with his patients takes time, and Dr. Camp understands that it can be intimidating to discuss aesthetic concerns with a plastic surgeon.

His down-to-earth demeanor and willingness to take the time needed to truly understand his patients' goals is one of the traits that sets him apart from other surgeons.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plastic Surgeons

What’s the difference between a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon?

A cosmetic surgeon does not have to have any specialized training in cosmetic surgery. They can be an ob-gyn, dentist, dermatologist, or another type of doctor.

A plastic surgeon must be a licensed doctor with at least 6 years of formal residency training, including at least 3 years dedicated to plastic surgery. To become a board-certified plastic surgeon, they must pass extensive oral and written exams by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only plastic surgery board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).

What plastic surgery is the most common?

The most common plastic surgery procedures vary with societal trends but generally include liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, rhinoplasty, facelift, and eyelid surgery.

What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon during a consultation?

Your initial consultation is a time to learn about a surgeon and the procedures you are interested in, so asking about their qualifications and experience is key. Here are some questions to get you started: How long have you been a plastic surgeon?

  • What are your qualifications? Can I look over your CV?
  • Are you board certified? By which board?
  • How many procedures like mine have you performed? How often?
  • What type of anesthesia do you use?
  • Where do you perform surgeries?
  • Can I look at before-and-after photos of your patients?
  • Can I talk to patients who have had my procedure?
  • Do you use imaging technology? Why/why not?

For a rewarding experience, be sure to choose a surgeon with whom you have a good rapport and can talk and ask questions openly. Your feelings matter.

Why does board certification matter?

Choosing a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery ensures they have in-depth, specialized training and experience and follow strict safety protocols. Learn more in this blog post.
