I could not have been any more happier with my experience at Beautyland. From start to finish. The staff was just as amazing as Dr.Simmons. With this being my second time doing plastic surgery in Miami this experience has superseded my last. I’m very happy with my results and the cleanliness and professionalism of everyone at Beautyland.

I am so happy with the attention and care of Dr.Simmons. My results are phenomenal, I did thr breast and arm lift and the tummy tuck all together.
I need to mention that Dr. Simmons was the only doctor in Miami Dade that did in person evaluation. I am a variatric patient and the pictures sometimes dont tell the much, the skin problem is real and its important to be evaluated in person. After me searching for all best doctors in Miami and Broward county I found Dr. Simmons .
I recommend this doctor 100%
