About

Dr. Robert L. Bashore, MD is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Merritt Island, Florida. He specializes in procedures for the face, body, and breasts, including breast reduction, breast lifts with implants, and liposculpture. He also offers Injectables & Aesthetics, such as the non-surgical Nefertiti Lift for neck and jawline definition, and liquid rhinoplasty for subtle nose adjustments. Dr. Bashore emphasizes an individualized approach to filler treatments, aiming for natural results that enhance features without being obvious; he states that good filler 'shouldn't scream I got filler.' He believes that facelift procedure selection is determined by a patient's anatomy, skin laxity, and specific concerns, rather than age. For nose concerns, he notes that not every issue requires surgery, offering liquid rhinoplasty to smooth bumps, improve symmetry, and create a balanced profile with little to no downtime. The practice provides personalized consultations and thoughtful treatment plans, aiming to help patients feel confident, refreshed, and completely themselves.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Robert L. Bashore

Sourced directly from Dr. Robert L. Bashore's social posts and replies.

What causes the jawline to sag over time?
The platysma muscles in the neck naturally pull the jawline downward, contributing to sagging over time.

How does Botox work in a Nefertiti Lift?
When Botox is applied to the neck area, it softens neck bands and can create a subtle lifting effect on the lower face.

How can I determine if I'm a good candidate for a Nefertiti Lift?
It's recommended to discuss your candidacy with your provider during your next Botox appointment.

How is the right facelift procedure chosen?
The choice between a mini facelift and a full facelift is not determined by age, but rather by individual factors such as a patient's anatomy, degree of skin laxity, specific areas of concern, and the amount of correction required.

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.

Total received (2024)

$497

Payments

23

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Robert L. Bashore received $497 across 23 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. 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?”
