Plastic surgeons in and near Rock Hill
As of October 2, 2026, the federal NPI register lists 0 individual plastic surgeons and 1 plastic surgery organization at Rock Hill practice addresses. Neighboring Fort Mill has 2 surgeons and no organization. Among the larger South Carolina counts, Columbia has 13 surgeons and 5 organizations. The register counts here cover South Carolina only, so Charlotte surgeons are outside them. It also records neither board certification nor which procedures a surgeon performs.
For scale, South Carolina’s last official workforce count found 1.7 plastic surgeons per 100,000 people in 2009 against 2.4 nationally (SC Office for Healthcare Workforce, 2011 report). That figure is old.
Checking a surgeon and a facility in South Carolina
- South Carolina license. For a surgeon who operates in South Carolina, search the SC LLR licensee lookup with the “PS. Plastic Surgery” specialty and read the Public Board Orders.
- North Carolina license. A surgeon who operates in Charlotte holds a North Carolina license, which LLR does not show. ABPS points patients to the FSMB directory and each state’s medical board for license status.
- Certification. The ABPS public lookup searches by name and state, so it works for surgeons on both sides of the line.
- Facility. South Carolina’s Regulation 81-96 requires offices doing surgery under moderate or deeper sedation to register with the Board and be accredited within their first year. It does not reach a North Carolina office, so ask any practice which body accredits its operating room and check with AAAHC or QUAD A.
Coverage and paying
Cosmetic liposuction and tummy tucks are not covered by health plans. South Carolina Medicaid excludes cosmetic surgery and can cover a medically necessary panniculectomy only with prior authorization, which the physician requests; members cannot contact the review organization themselves. A Medicaid member seeking a panniculectomy should ask early whether the surgeon takes the plan, especially a surgeon in North Carolina. See plastic surgery insurance coverage.
For self-pay surgery, compare written totals that list the same items, and read any loan terms in full. More in how to pay less for plastic surgery.

Before you book
Three checks before a consultation in Rock Hill
Every physician practicing in South Carolina holds a license from the South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners, and any license can be checked on its public lookup. Board certification in plastic surgery is separate, and the American Board of Plastic Surgery’s lookup confirms it. Ask, too, where the operation will happen and who accredits that facility. We are a publication, not a practice, and we do not recommend individual surgeons.
