St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery Specialists

BodyAesthetic surgeons are board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

The physicians of BodyAesthetic Plastic Surgery & Skin Care Center are St. Louis plastic surgery specialists who perform an array of cosmetic surgery procedures for the face, breast and body.

BodyAesthetic Plastic Surgery offers the latest cosmetic surgical techniques and non-surgical technologies that are regularly introduced in the rapidly-evolving field of plastic surgery. Yet BodyAesthetic distinguishes itself from other practices in the St. Louis area in several ways. Although each surgeon has particular areas of expertise, they take a collaborative approach to patients. Renowned for artistically-inspired surgical techniques, the talented surgeons of BodyAesthetic have helped St. Louis breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), facelift, breast lift patients refine and enhance their physical appearances. Taken together, our surgeons offer a broad range of aesthetic and reconstructive surgical procedures, with a specialized focus on facial rejuvenation, breast procedures, and body contouring.

The founding idea behind BodyAesthetic Plastic Surgery & Skincare Center, which opened its doors in July 2002, was to create a new kind of medical practice that raises the standard of care and focuses on collaboration among our surgeons, staff, nurses, licensed aestheticians, and skin care specialists. We are dedicated to providing personalized attention through a team approach. This is why we emphasize communication between surgeons and staff to help guide our patients through the process of defining their goals and choosing the most appropriate treatment.

BodyAesthetic combines the many years of experience of Dr. Leroy Young with the specialized training of Dr. C.B. Boswell. After completing a prestigious fellowship in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Boswell brought his advanced skills and the latest aesthetic surgery techniques to the St. Louis area.

Another unique characteristic of the BodyAesthetic surgeons is their interest in research as it applies to improving surgical results. Our surgeons conduct research locally and as part of national studies, including clinical trials of a new injectable tissue filler for the face in massive weight loss patients, a new product to combat keloid formation, a study of injection lipolysis to reduce abdominal fat, and the silicone gel breast implant trial that led to their approval. We have the only plastic surgeons in area certified as members of the Botox Cosmetic National Education Faculty.

At least one of our doctors presents recent research at every major national plastic surgery society conference. Two or three times a year the BodyAesthetic surgeons teach "Master Classes" in body contouring after massive weight loss to train other plastic surgeons, and they serve as faculty for courses on breast augmentation and body contouring at national meetings. They also publish regularly in the leading aesthetic surgery journals and twice received the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Award for Excellence for "Best Journal Article" for 2004 and again for 2006.

Our surgeons' combined technical training and experience give our patients more options for achieving the result they want. Our surgeons primarily operate at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital.

Although our board-certified surgeons at BodyAesthetic have specialized experience and skill, our guiding philosophy is to work together as true partners to determine what is best for each patient. During a consultation with your scheduled surgeon, the other may be brought in if additional expertise or opinions are needed, and more than both doctors may be involved in a patient's surgery.
