When you are ready to make the leap into plastic surgery be it for cosmetic enhance- ment, body reshaping after massive weight loss, illness or simply to fix a trouble spot that is bothering you, you want only the best in surgical care. For that you need to look no further than the Hurwitz Plastic Surgery Center located in Oakland.
Dr. Dennis Hurwitz, MD, F.A.C.S. has been practicing since 1977 which amounts to a staggering thirty-nine years in the field. His main practice has been focused in Pittsburgh, but he has also practiced in Beverly Hills and the Brandywine area near Philadelphia. Through his many years of practice Dr. Hurwitz has amassed an extensive body of knowledge on all topics of plastic surgery. On top of his private practice he is also a Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School, a position he has held since 1999, a past director of the UPMC Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center and a diplomat to the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
With his involvement in clinical research, which has led to 162 scientific pub- lications, Dr. Hurwitz has had a multitude of opportunities to travel to many countries to be a guest lecturer on some of the most innovative procedures available to plastic surgeons. One of his original and most impressive proce- dures is the total body lift. In his travels and through the various papers that Dr. Hurwitz has written, he has met many other plastic surgeons from around theglobethat areinterestedinhisknowledgeinbothreconstructiveandaes- thetic plastic surgery.

In July, he returned to Brazil, but this time he was in Rio De Janiero, a week before the summer Olympics and stayed at the Windsor Atlantic Hotel overlooking the beach volleyball courts.
