- Medical Weight LossThe tummy tuck is not a weight reduction tool. Instead, the ideal tummy tuck candidate is in good health with good skin elasticity but has fat deposit or loose skin in his or her middle. The tummy tuck procedure leaves a scar in the bikini line and around the belly button that will lessen or fade over time.

- Brow LiftOften performed in conjunction with a forehead or brow lift, eyelid surgery can provide patients with more open, youthful, and attractive eyes.
- Eyelid SurgeryWrinkles, puffiness, excess skin and bags around the eyes are reasons to consider eyelid surgery. The problem may be purely cosmetic or in some cases the drooping of the upper lids can impair vision. In Asian eyes, this surgery can add an upper crease to the eye.
- LiposuctionSagging tissue in the upper arm can be lifted and repositioned in an upper arm lift (brachioplasty) to provide a better contour and silhouette. This procedure leaves a scar on the inside of the arm from the elbow to the armpit. If skin quality is good, liposuction can be performed with a minimal scar. Upper arm lifts are popular with patients who have lost large amounts of weight and who are left with sagging folds of skin.

- Cosmetic SurgeryDr. Zewert chose to locate his practice in Monterey and live in Pebble Beach because the area's natural beauty makes it a wonderful place to call home. While Monterey has a small town friendly feel, it is home to excellent hospital facilities such as the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. Further, Monterey's proximity to the San Francisco Bay area and Los Angeles make it an ideal destination for elective procedures such as cosmetic surgery.
