ime to pack up the coats and boots and get out the flip flops and shorts...do you have the body you want this summer? At Kurtzman Plastic Surgery, it’s never too soon to start getting in shape for summer. It’s the most popular time of year for enhancements; for women, the most popular procedure is breast augmentation, followed by liposuction and tummy tucks.

If you’ve been considering breast augmentation, now’s the best time: Dr. Kurtzman is offering a $1000 off special on the procedure - all you need to do is book by the end of May! There are other options for looking healthy and well-rested this summer. Micro-Needling is a popular new procedure in which tiny needles pulse all over the face, stimulating collagen and restoring a youthful appearance; it’s performed 3 times over a 3 month period. There are also the injectable face fillers, such as Botox, Juvederm and Sculptra; Dr. Kurtzman is a national trainer for these procedures, and other fillers, so you will be in the best of hands with a doctor who has your safety and best interests in mind.
Dr. Lawrence Kurtzman
Dr. Lawrence Kurtzman has been a boardcertified plastic surgeon for over 20 years, and as a solo practitioner he is available to his patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Symphony Hotel is a great place to find classical comfort, cozy surroundings, great bar scene, and wonderful, live music. The Symphony Hotel’s main building was constructed in 1871, seven years before the completion of Cincinnati’s Music Hall. It was designed by a famous architect, James McLaughlin, who also designed the original McAlpin’s, Shillito’s, a wing of the Art Museum, Cincinnati Gas-Light & Coke Company, and the Cincinnati Public Library. The Symphony Hotel is located just across from Cincinnati Music Hall, in OTR. It’s the ideal location to enjoy a classical romantic getaway, eat an exquisite dinner, and experience the Opera, May Festival, the Cincinnati Symphony, or the Pops Orchestra. Come back, stay overnight and wake up to the aroma of a gourmet breakfast. The Symphony Hotel is award winning…. and was originally an old mansion. The building was
restored into a boutique hotel where the rooms are named after famous composers: Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Beech, Brahms, Mahler, and Copland. What a gem right here in the Queen City…… Cincinnati’s Premiere Boutique Hotel…come experience the wonder of The Symphony Hotel.
