From sweat-stopping MiraDry to subtle tweaks like brow lifts, lip lifts, and chin augmentations, Dr. Koehler and Kirstin break down their favorite underrated procedures—who they’re best for, what recovery’s like, and why these low-key treatments can have a big impact.

Here in the South, sleeveless season is long, but saggy arm skin can make people cover up. Arm lifts don’t get enough attention, but they can be game-changing for those with “bat wings,” especially since the gym won’t tighten loose skin.

Ear pinning isn’t just for kids. Dr. Koehler shares how people of all ages react when they see their new, more balanced ears.

If you’re after shape over size, the Skinny BBL is all about subtle contouring rather than dramatic curves.

Through it all, Dr. Koehler explains how he finds that sweet spot between taking care of your concerns and delivering a natural-looking result.
