About

Meet Dr. Amy Simon

Dr. Amy Simon is the President of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons, as honored to be elected by her peers (board certified plastic surgeons from all over Florida), for 2026.

Dr. Amy Simon MD is a Triple-Fellowship Trained (Breast/Cosmetic/Oculoplastic), Board Certified (ABPS) female plastic surgeon Breast and Body Specialist with surgical experience since 1996.   

A leader in her field, Dr. Simon has extensive experience and expertise in Mommy Makeovers, Tummy Tucks, Breast Implant Exchange and Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss, as well as Facelifts and Eyelids, for a unique hyper-specialized combination of subspecialized expertise in cosmetic breast and body procedures, as well as cosmetic facial and oculoplastic eyelid surgery. 

As a female plastic surgeon practicing in Saint Petersburg, Florida, Dr. Simon has become sought after for her specialized expertise in breast implant exchange, breast augmentation with mastopexy (breast lift),  breast implant removal and revision, tummy tuck and body contouring, especially for mommy makeovers and after weight loss, liposuction, as well as very natural looking facelift, necklift, and eyelid procedures.

Dr. Simon is especially sought after for challenging breast implant issues such as Capsular Contracture, Breast Implant Rupture, and Exchange or Removal of older implants with a complete Breast Refresh including Breast Lift, and is known for creating an Internal Bra of sorts to support implants and natural tissue, usually utilizing dissolvable suture materials in order to get the benefit of internal support without the added risks of using biologic or synthetic mesh.

Dr. Amy Simon has received "Top Doc" awards every year since 2006.  Among her countless honors, she has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, among America's Most Honored Doctors, one of the “10 Best” Plastic Surgeons in the state, ranked first in the region by patient reviews on Top Plastic Surgeon Reviews, and she has been recognized as one of America’s Most Compassionate Doctors for many years. In addition, the Regional Chamber of Commerce has honored Dr. Simon as the winner of the Women of Excellence Award for Professional Achievement.

After completing medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Dr. Simon completed an advanced integrated plastic surgery five-year residency of combined general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery, including final year as Chief Resident. Dr. Simon then completed her fellowship in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery at the Center for Breast and Body Contouring in Michigan where she gained unique experience in the SPAIR short-scar breast surgery procedures for breast lift and breast reduction. She was the first surgeon in the Southeastern United States with fellowship training in SPAIR short-scar breast surgery, and is especially known for bringing the SPAIR to the South along with breast augmentations and breast lifts that look very natural, and combining her breast surgery expertise with additional body contouring procedures for the ultimate Mommy Makeover.

Dr. Simon then completed additional fellowships in Cosmetic Surgery (with an emphasis on facial plastic surgery) and Oculoplastic eyelid surgery at the prestigious Emory University affiliated Paces Plastic Surgery, where she gained additional expertise in natural looking facelifts and necklifts, as well as youthful eyelid rejuvenation.

Dr. Simon has been published in the internationally recognized journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and is a sought-after media speaker and contributor.

Your Consultation

Why did you go into this career? 
Plastic surgery is unlike any other specialty, in that every person has a different set of goals for the outcome and a different situation from which they are beginning their journey.  From a surgical perspective, this keeps things as interesting as they are fulfilling every day.
What services do you provide? 
Cosmetic breast and body procedures including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast implant exchange in Saint Petersburg, FL, breast implant removal, Saint Petersburg Tummy Tuck, and custom body contouring, as well as facelift, necklift, and eyelid surgery.
What makes this area of medicine fulfilling for you? 
I get to help people live as the best version of themselves. There is nothing else like it!
When did you realize this was the right medical career path for you? 
During medical school, I rotated on the plastic surgery team.  I realized right away that this specialty is unlike any other in the challenges to the surgeon and life improvement for the patient.
What’s the latest advancement in your field that will benefit patients?
Instead of looking to the latest hyped product that might be proven ineffective next year, I tend to look toward the solid, “tried and true” advancements.  I think the most beneficial product on the market today is the modern silicone gel breast implant, which I like to discuss with my Saint Petersburg breast implant patients.  It is sturdier and more natural feeling than ever before. 
Best advice for current and potential patients?
Choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, with fellowship training in your area of interest.  Explain your goals and get honest advice rather than just a sales pitch.  After your surgery, follow your surgeon’s instructions so you can maximize your investment in yourself.
