With the summer months upon us (and the Florida sun above us), many men and women are in search of ways to achieve a smooth, sculpted body that looks great in a swimsuit, shorts, and fitted clothing. If that’s you, we have good news: Both surgical and nonsurgical procedures are available to help you achieve your ideal beach body, just in time for a hot bod summer. 

Let’s take a look at your surgical and nonsurgical body sculpting options and get you one step closer to making your dream body a reality.

The terms brow lift and forehead lift are generally used interchangeably. A brow lift or forehead lift refers to a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper one-third of the face. The upper one-third of the face encompasses the brows, horizontal forehead lines, vertical lines between the brows (the “11’s”), and oftentimes the position of the hairline itself.

Many patients long for fuller or more youthful appearing lips. Over the years, I have found that these concerns may be divided into two groups: those who seek improvement in the appearance of the aging lip and those who seek a more voluptuous or fuller lip.

Maintaining the health and appearance of your skin becomes more of a priority with each passing decade.
