Every well-heeled Floridian knows that one of the state's best destinations for cosmetic enhancement is the Miami Institute for Age Management and Intervention. And because it's in the Four Seasons Hotel and Tower, patients can convalesce in the hotel, where the recovery package ($3,000 a night) includes a suite staffed by a nurse. The upscale center opened in February 2005, and its founder, the highly regarded plastic surgeon Julio F. Gallo, calls it "a medical facility gift wrapped like a Zen-inspired spa." With its soft music and stylish interiors, the institute has only a hint of "clinic": the abundance of medical professionals in lab coats, among them four M.D.'s, three dentists and a dermatologist. Clients come from all over for such services as cosmetic dentistry, injectable fillers and chemical peels. (Editor's note: More serious procedures, like liposuction, are offered, but it's safest to have invasive surgeries in a facility next to a hospital; here the nearest one is two miles away.) 1441 Brickell Ave.; 305-624-0009; miami-institute.com.
