Dr. Levens chosen as contributing expert for "Be Your Best"

Dr. Levens is among a group of 100 plastic surgeons nationwide selected for inclusion in "Be Your Best", a new book on cosmetic surgery, published by Insight International Press, LLC.

According to the forward by internationally-recognized plastic surgeon Peter Bela Fodor, MD, FACS, the book was written to counter the "unreality of plastic surgery reality shows and...the excessive hype of procedures with catchy names" but often questionable medical viability.

The book covers 25 surgical and non-invasive cosmetic procedures, with graphic illustrations, fast-facts, information on risks and recovery, and first person comments and accounts from contributing surgeons.

All surgeons quoted in the book are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. Many, like Dr. Levens, have additional credentials from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery which has only accepted about a quarter of all Board-certified plastic surgeons for membership.

The book is expected to be available soon in area bookstores or can be ordered by contacting Dr. Levens' Coral Springs office, 954-752-1020.

Dr. Levens has been practicing plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Coral Springs since 1989. He has served as both Chief of Surgery and Vice Chief of Staff at the Coral Springs Medical Center. He earned his medical degree at Columbia University, New York, and served residencies in general surgery and plastic surgery at Montefiore Hospital & Medical Center, New York.

Dr. Levens has been providing plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures for patients in Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Davie, Delray Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood, Lauderhill, Margate, Miami, North Lauderdale, Parkland, Plantation, Sunrise, Tamarac, West Palm Beach, Wellington, Weston and throughout South Florida since 1989.
