About

Dr. Kenrick A. Spence, MD, FACS, is a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Orlando, Florida. He has been voted Best Plastic Surgeon in Orlando. He specializes in advanced facial rejuvenation, facial surgery, and facial revision procedures, alongside body contouring like tummy tucks, breast augmentation, and liposuction. Dr. Spence emphasizes that no single facelift technique or "branded" procedure suits every face. Instead, he focuses on "what your face actually needs," creating personalized treatment plans that may include skincare, laser resurfacing, injectables, or surgery. He believes "the best results come from an honest consultation" and a clear conversation about patient goals. Dr. Spence uses both fillers (like JUVÉDERM for precise volume) and biostimulators (like Sculptra and Radiesse for collagen stimulation and overall volume). He prefers fat grafting for natural-looking volume, using a patient's own tissue. Every recommendation prioritizes safety, long-term results, and individual patient needs over trends.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Kenrick A. Spence

Sourced directly from Dr. Kenrick A. Spence's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Spence's philosophy on choosing between injectables (like Botox/filler) and surgery (like a facelift)?
Dr. Spence emphasizes that each treatment has a different purpose, and the best results come from choosing the right procedure for your specific anatomy and goals. Fillers can restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance features, but they cannot replace what a facelift is designed to do, especially for significant loose skin and neck sagging. Botox and fillers are not a replacement for surgery when the main concern is excess skin and tissue laxity. In such cases, a facelift or neck lift may be a better option for achieving meaningful, long-lasting results. The practice's goal is always to recommend the treatment that truly makes sense for the patient, not to sell a specific treatment.

What are Dr. Spence's recommendations regarding injectables, travel, and choosing an injector?
Dr. Spence has observed patients regretting getting Botox or filler while on vacation, emphasizing that a vacation is not an appropriate time due to associated risks. He recommends that patients consider seeing their trusted injector before they depart if planning a trip. When considering injectables, knowing who is treating you matters; patients should seek a qualified, experienced injector who can properly evaluate anatomy, understand goals, and provide post-treatment support for any questions or concerns.
Source →
How can patients ensure optimal results and a natural look after a facelift with Dr. Spence?
Optimal surgical outcomes begin with a clear conversation about what you want to see when you look in the mirror. The extent to which a patient looks like themselves after surgery depends on their individual goals and their discussion with Dr. Spence. Effective communication of preferences, dislikes, and desired aesthetic outcomes is crucial. Patients should also understand that achieving specific features like a more lifted eye shape, higher cheekbones, or a sharper jawline may require additional procedures or a different surgical approach beyond a standard facelift.

What can patients expect during a consultation with Dr. Spence?
During a consultation, Dr. Spence is always prepared to listen to patients, answer their questions, and help them understand their options to ensure they make informed decisions about their care.
Source →
Who can develop keloids, and how does Dr. Spence approach their treatment?
Keloids can develop in anyone, regardless of their skin tone, including individuals with white skin, though they are more common in people with darker skin types. Dr. Spence explains that keloid treatment is individualized, based on the specific patient and the characteristics of the scar, rather than simply their skin color. Patients concerned about a keloid should schedule a consultation to discuss their options.
Source →
When might Dr. Spence recommend against injectables like Botox or filler?
Dr. Spence believes that knowing when to decline injectables is as important as knowing how to administer them, as not every patient is a suitable candidate. He may recommend against injectables if a patient is pregnant, is already overfilled, is expecting facelift-level results (which injectables cannot achieve), or has significant loose skin and neck sagging that injectables simply cannot correct.
Source →
How does Dr. Spence approach facial volume loss, and what products does he prefer?
Dr. Spence emphasizes that not all facial volume loss is treated the same, and choosing the right product is crucial for balanced, natural-looking results. He uses both fillers and biostimulators, depending on individual patient needs. For precise volume and contouring in areas like the lips and tear troughs, he prefers hyaluronic acid fillers such as JUVÉDERM. For more generalized facial hollowing, volume loss, or jawline atrophy, biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse are used to stimulate collagen and improve overall facial volume over time.
Source →
What should men know about brow lift candidacy and Dr. Spence's technique?
Men with receding hairlines or little to no hair are not necessarily excluded from being candidates for a brow lift. Dr. Spence utilizes a technique that lifts and supports the brow through the same incision used for upper eyelid surgery. This approach helps maintain a natural masculine brow position while removing excess eyelid skin, resulting in a more refreshed and less tired appearance. Heavy brows or droopy upper eyelids that make an individual look older or constantly fatigued are indications for a consultation.
Source →
What are the limitations of reverse tummy tucks?
Dr. Spence notes that reverse tummy tucks typically do not remove enough skin to create the tight, flat abdomen patients are hoping for.
Source →
What are the considerations for laser resurfacing on darker skin tones?
Dr. Spence advises that for darker skin tones, the risk of unwanted pigment changes from laser resurfacing can outweigh its benefits.
Source →
Does Dr. Spence use facial or body implants, and what is his preference for volume creation?
Dr. Spence chooses not to perform facial and body implants, with the exception of breast implants. For volume creation, he prefers fat grafting because it uses the patient's own tissue to create soft, natural-looking volume that ages naturally with the patient.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Kenrick A. Spence received $535 across 19 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
