For decades, Fort Lauderdale plastic surgeon Dr. Jorge A. Perez has been South Florida’s go-to physician for image-conscious seniors hoping to maintain their youthful appearance through cosmetic surgery. Now, Dr. Perez has attracted the attention of an international TV show and will be featured on an upcoming episode of Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty, a travel series focused on beauty, health and well-being hosted by international supermodel Rachel Hunter.

Traveling from New Zealand, Hunter and her camera crew arrived in Fort Lauderdale on August 17th for a week of filming where they interviewed Dr. Perez and some of his patients. Cameras also followed one of Dr. Perez’s patients through the cosmetic surgery process, including a pre-surgery interview and actual filming of the procedure at Broward Health Imperial Point.
 
Dr. Perez said South Florida is a uniquely popular area for senior citizens interested in cosmetic surgery. Sunny weather, beautiful scenery and an active lifestyle attracts older, affluent residents who not only want to stay fit, but look good too. “I have patients in their 70s and 80s who play golf, tennis and go ballroom dancing regularly, and they want to look as good as they feel,” said Dr. Perez. “It’s a great subset of patients who often recover better than those half their age.”
 
Dr. Perez is a board certified plastic surgeon who has been a featured expert in plastic surgery for several media outlets, including ABC, NBC, CBS, Univision and Telemundo. He has lectured and trained thousands of surgeons across the world in the areas of facial rejuvenation, breast surgery and body contouring.
