Florida Department of Health disciplinary records document the Office Surgery Registration of a Sunny Isles Beach practice, including prior enforcement actions and the July 13 revocation.
Florida Department of Health Disciplinary Action
On July 13, 2026, the Florida Department of Health revoked the Office Surgery Registration held by Perfection Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Sunny Isles Beach. The disciplinary action revoked the practice’s authorization to perform surgery with moderate/conscious to deep sedation. The business offerings combine cosmetic surgery and Med Spa services, a model used by some medical aesthetics businesses.
Office Surgery Registration Revocation and Disciplinary History
The Florida Department of Health revoked the Office Surgery Registration held by Perfection Plastic Surgery, Inc. on July 13, 2026. The action followed an administrative complaint arising from an August 22, 2024, inspection of the Sunny Isles Beach facility. Earlier Department records also document a 30-day suspension imposed in June 2025. At the time, the facility was registered for Level II and III office surgery, and Christian L. Quintero, M.D., was its designated physician.
The complaint alleged that the inspection and related record review identified the following key details:
- Emergency equipment: The crash cart lacked required sodium bicarbonate, and the end-tidal carbon dioxide detection device had expired.
- Risk management: The facility did not have a risk-management program in place at the time of the inspection.
- Preoperative examinations: Required in-person and immediate preoperative examinations were not performed or documented for patients undergoing surgery in June and July 2024.
- Surgical records: Logs for procedures performed between February 9 and July 14, 2024, omitted required details, including medical clearance, procedure duration, diagnosis, patient classification, and anesthesia type.
- Patient disclosures: Several patients treated between June 7 and July 19, 2024, were not provided required written information concerning hospital privileges or a transfer agreement before surgery.
- Liposuction and ultrasound guidance: A July 19, 2024, procedure allegedly exceeded the permitted volume of supernatant fat removal when combined with fat transfer and nipple repositioning. The complaint also alleged that gluteal fat grafting was performed without the use or documented use of ultrasound guidance.
The revocation order states that the Department imposes disciplinary penalties to protect the public, not rehabilitate the facility. The order also states that the facility’s prior disciplinary history was considered when determining the sanction.

According to the Florida Department of Health’s July 13, 2026, revocation order and the administrative complaint filed June 24, 2025, the action followed an August 22, 2024, inspection of the Sunny Isles Beach facility. Separate Department records document a 30-day suspension imposed in June 2025, and the current license verification record lists a revoked Office Surgery Registration as of this reporting.
Compliance Context for Florida Practices Combining Surgical and Nonsurgical Aesthetic Services
The revocation record addresses several operational requirements for registered office surgery facilities, including physician oversight, equipment, examinations, documentation, and procedure-specific standards.
The compliance areas involved in this case include:
- Designated physician responsibility
- Emergency equipment and expiration controls
- Risk-management procedures
- Required in-person and immediate preoperative examinations
- Patient-record and surgical-log documentation
- Written hospital-privilege or transfer-agreement disclosures
- Liposuction volume limits
- Ultrasound guidance during gluteal fat grafting
Under section 458.328, Florida law requires offices that perform Level II or Level III surgery, or remove more than 1,000 cubic centimeters of supernatant fat during liposuction, to register with the Florida Department of Health. The office must pass an inspection before registration, designate a physician responsible for compliance, and undergo annual inspections unless it holds approved accreditation.
In a separate Florida enforcement case involving cosmetic surgery, a former physician assistant in Port St. Lucie was convicted of 11 felonies connected to procedures performed, including practicing medicine without a license and aggravated battery.
State-level action involving cosmetic and operative services has also occurred in other jurisdictions. Maryland lawmakers considered House Bill 1263, which proposed creating a workgroup to study postoperative cosmetic and body-altering services provided by nonphysician practitioners. The proposal addressed scope-of-practice conflicts, training requirements, patient safety, and consumer protection.
For Med Spas and other combined practice models offering surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic services, compliance requirements may vary by service and may include facility registration, practitioner authority, patient examinations, documentation, and procedure-specific standards.
Operational Considerations for Florida Med Spas With Combined Practice Models
- Separate requirements for nonsurgical Med Spa services from those governing registered office surgery.
- Verify practitioner authority and documentation requirements for each nonsurgical aesthetic service offered.
- Define the designated physician’s responsibilities for registered surgical operations.
- Maintain required emergency equipment, expiration controls, and risk-management procedures for surgical services.
- Document required patient evaluations, preoperative reviews, and surgical records.
- Provide required hospital-privilege or transfer-agreement disclosures when applicable for surgical services.
- Track procedure-specific requirements, including liposuction limits and ultrasound guidance in applicable surgical services.
What to Watch Next
The Office Surgery Registration remains revoked under the July 13, 2026, order at the time of this reporting. Future Florida Department of Health orders or separate proceedings may provide additional information regarding surgical services at the facility, designated physician responsibilities, and related licensing actions.
