Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer techniques. Our board-certified surgeons customize each procedure to achieve natural-looking results aligned with individual body proportions. Patients benefit from advanced 3D imaging technology for precise outcome visualization and comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal recovery.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck through precise tissue repositioning and skin tightening. Our surgeons specialize in both traditional and minimally invasive techniques to restore youthful contours while maintaining natural facial expressions. Procedures often combine with eyelid surgery or brow lifts for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to improve body proportions and definition. Our team employs advanced techniques like tumescent liposuction and laser-assisted methods for enhanced precision and skin tightening. Treatments target common problem areas including abdomen, thighs, and arms while prioritizing patient safety and comfort.
Botox Injections
Botox Cosmetic injections temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. Our certified injectors use precise dosing techniques for natural results in treating forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Patients receive personalized treatment plans and post-care guidance for optimal outcomes.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction using advanced light-based technology. Our medical-grade systems safely treat various skin tones and body areas with minimal discomfort. Multiple sessions ensure permanent hair follicle damage while maintaining skin integrity through integrated cooling mechanisms.

I wasn't rushed through or pushed into anything I didn't want. I would recommend this place everybody. Definitely worth the wait for an appointment, I count be happier!

I have had a double chin my whole life, it runs in my family. I finally decided to do something about it and am so pleased to have gone to Dr Derby and his team at Sarasota Plastic Surgery. They were very transparent on all options that were available and which option would provide the optimal result. I did not feel like i was being upsold. I also did not feel like a number. I appreciated all the time spent discussing everything and answering all my questions. They made themselves available whenever i needed them. I could not be more pleased with my results!

The experience I had with Dr Derby and his staff was beyond my expectations. I never left without all of my questions answered and feeling 100% confident in my decisions. The professionalism and expertise of Dr. Derby was greatly appreciated but the feeling that you are his #1 priority was impressive. I truly couldn't be happier.

I have nothing to say but exceptional things about Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center and especially Dr. Brian Derby. I had a procedure that was medically necessary and with Dr. Derby's kindness and knowledge I felt 100% confident to go through with the surgery. Dr. Derby is an excellent surgeon and his bedside manner is the best. I am now in my 5th week post -op and feel wonderful. I highly recommend this group and especially Dr. Derby. Thank you Dr. Derby (and nursing staff) for taking such good care of me. I am very thankful that I met you and chose you as my surgeon. You are the best!

The entire staff were the most amazing team Ive had the pleasure of receiving care from and Dr. Derby was simply the best. He was my first consultation after thinking about a breast reduction for years and instantly put my mind at ease. He was so patient and informative throughout the process from start to finish and truly went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable each step of the way. I could not be happier with the end result, or any part of the process. I dont currently expect needing any other procedures in the future but , should I elect to, Dr. Derby and Sarasota Plastic Surgery
