His medical degree was completed at the University of Miami, in Miami, Florida and his surgical training was completed at the Medical University of South Carolina, both in general surgery and plastic surgery.

Gina Gathings-Giancola became an aesthetician at the age of 19, and was quickly recognized for her deft talent in tradition aesthetician services. From traditional makeup to facials, she learned the trade quickly, and was perfectly positioned to change with the profession as new kinds of anti-aging technologies (such as combined microdermabrasion/peels and laser treatments) began to change the standard of care in beauty treatments.
Jessica McCarry, PA-C is a board-certified physician assistant from the Tampa Bay area. She completed a plastic surgery rotation with our office while in PA school and joined the Gayoso Plastic Surgery team right after graduation. Jessica has focused her career solely on aesthetic medicine. She spent the fist two years assisting Dr. Gayoso in surgery while quickly building her non-surgical practice.
Choosing your surgeon is the most important decision you will make about your cosmetic surgery. No other decision will have as great an impact on your quality of results and overall experience as your choice of surgeon. Even after you limit your choices to only the most qualified surgeons, not every surgeon is right for every patient.

My first time having any surgery done to my face. Very nervous going in. All the nurses were kind,...totally professional, explained everything that would happen and the pre-op appointments were perfect. Surgery went flawlessly, no pain or discomfort. Next day after bandages were taken off, I looked pretty darn good. I was shocked on how well the procedure went. Within 2 weeks I was out and about, on stage with only a slight swelling.....Dr. Beninger was the best,..a real pro at what he does. I would highly recommend him to everyone. As an entertainer, I couldn't be more pleased...thank you...

I’ve been to Gayoso Plastic Surgery twice this past year to get dermal fillers. Both times the staff were friendly and the office was beautiful and clean. Jessica did both my lip and under eye fillers and she is professional, kind and so talented! I’ve been happy enough with my experiences thus far that I’ve even scheduled a cool sculpting session in a few weeks :)

Jessica is amazing! I recently moved out of St Pete and drove over two hours to see her. She does amazing work and doesn’t push treatments you haven’t asked for. I’m always happy with the results. I’ll keep going to see her as long as I’m able to get to St Pete!

I highly recommend Dr Beninger! He is a thoughtful, skilled, and caring surgeon. Most importantly, he listened to what I wanted and then provided guidance that was key to what has been for me an outstanding outcome. As if that were not enough, the staff is terrific! Appointments are on-time and efficient, but never rushed. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars. 🌟

The entire team is kind, caring and professional from start to finish. Scheduling the appointment is easy and they strive to make it convenient for you and when you arrive the team is truly welcoming.

Always an overall great experience and I highly recommend this practice. Thank you all.

I have had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Gayoso and his entire office. He was my third consultation for a breast lift/augmentation for my tuberous/constricted breasts. After spending just a short time with Dr. Gayoso, I knew that I wanted to move forward with him as my surgeon. He immediately made me feel at ease, which is pretty big because this whole process isn’t the most comfortable one for someone like me! He quickly had a solution for my condition and I just really felt that I trusted him. I had my surgery on 1/29 and my results are amazing. I’m so thankful to Dr. Gayoso for making

I just recently flew down from Ky to have some more elective surgery done by Dr. Gayoso because after my first surgery with him I would never go to anyone else.
My first surgery was a full tummy tuck back in March of 2020. After 4 deliveries many years ago and recently losing 40 lbs. the loose skin was so noticeable and made me feel so insecure about my self that I made the decision to have a tummy tuck. Thank heavens I chose Dr. Gayoso because I was thrilled!! I looked better than I ever dreamed I could.
After that I decided I wanted to have my thighs and arms lifted due to excess loose skin
