He is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a credential that reflects the highest standard of training and ethics in the field. 

He has completed training, taught, and conducted research at elite institutions such as Duke University, Tulane University, the University of Miami, and the University of Michigan. He not only completed a coveted integrated plastic and reconstructive surgery residency but also a two-year research fellowship in a National Institute of Health core lab. 

A Trusted Leader in Plastic Surgery

Dr. Rosenthal is not only shaping the future of plastic surgery but also standing up for patient safety and transparency. He has served on numerous advisory boards, including with leading companies such as Mentor and Allergan, and he is a sought-after speaker at national and state professional meetings, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons (FSPS), and the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS).  

Beyond the podium, he has testified before the Florida Board of Medicine to protect patients—advocating for stronger safety standards in plastic surgery and demanding honesty in how board certification is presented to the public. His leadership ensures patients are not only well cared for in the operating room but also protected through clear, truthful information and higher standards across the field. 

He has also served as a peer reviewer for academic publications and serves in numerous leadership roles, including:

Dedicated Patient Advocate 

Dr. Rosenthal champions patient rights at both the state and national levels. In July 2025, he joined 52 fellow plastic surgeons at the ASPS Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C., where they met directly with congressmembers to ensure patients’ voices were heard on issues shaping plastic surgery. He pressed for legislation that directly impacts access to safe, high-quality care, including efforts to modernize the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA). This critical law guarantees that breast cancer survivors have insurance coverage for breast reconstruction, and Dr. Rosenthal continues to fight for its expansion and enforcement so patients are never denied the restorative care they deserve. 

The Media’s Go-To Source 

Dr. Rosenthal’s leadership roles and reputation as a trusted voice in the field frequently lead major news outlets to seek his insight on issues affecting plastic and reconstructive surgery. For example, he was featured on Tampa Bay’s ABC News affiliate advocating for breast reconstruction patients. He also helps shape the conversation about the aesthetic field as Associate Editor of Plastic Surgery News, the award-winning publication produced by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.  

Innovation & Safety in Patient Care 

Dr. Rosenthal is dedicated to advancing patient safety and comfort. His practice is distinguished by several innovations: 

  • Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols to reduce downtime and improve outcomes. 
  • Development of the BeautiFUL Lift, a facelift performed in-office under local anesthesia for quicker, less invasive rejuvenation. 
  • Nonsurgical eyelid lifts with advanced laser and plasma technology. 

He also performs procedures at a fully accredited surgery center on the campus of a major hospital, where a board-certified anesthesiologist is always present. This arrangement offers one of the safest settings for surgery.
