D

r. William Burden founded Destin Plastic Surgery 

over 20 years ago with the idea in mind to create a 

plastic surgery center of excellence. He selected the 

site and designed the building that would come to 

house one of the largest plastic surgery centers in the United 

States.   

“Our facility is unique. Very few plastic surgery facilities 

have the depth of services offered at Destin Plastic Surgery, 

as well as, a fully-accredited and licensed multi-specialty 

surgery center under one roof.” Dr. Burden continues, “We 

have pursued excellence and it has paid off. People travel from 

around the region and the world to see us for treatments from 

skincare for pretty faces to Latisse for longer thicker lashes, 

from Botox® for facial wrinkles to Juvederm® for fuller lips, 

and from cosmetic surgery of the face to cosmetic surgery for 

breast, and body!”

While you can see that Destin Plastic Surgery is recognized 

for its depth of services and expertise in each, the practice is 

best known for Dr Burden’s and Bill Edelman’s (BoTox Bill) 

results. Surgeons from the United States and Europe have 

visited their facility to observe their surgeries and treatments. 

They are experts in face, breast, and body procedures. Their 

unique approach to surgical and non-surgical techniques sets 

them apart from other surgeons.  

Destin Plastic Surgery’s ‘No Scar on the Breast’ 

augmentation uses a remote incision under the arm to place the 

breast implant. Dr. Burden initially performed this procedure 

in 1994. Very few surgeons have the expertise or ability to 

do this procedure. Having performed over 5,000 of these 

procedures, few surgeons in the United States can match Dr. 

Burden’s experience. Dr. Burden has published and presented 

articles at national meetings regarding endoscopic breast 

augmentation and reconstruction with silicone and saline 

implants. He has also published a book on the procedure.

Dr. Burden is appointed to the Speaker’s Bureau and 

Physician’s Advisory Board for Allergan Corporation. He is 

the only Plastic Surgeon in Northwest Florida to have this 

designation. Allergan Corporation is a worldwide leader 

in facial aesthetics, breast implant technology, and body 

contouring technology. Selection into this group is based 

on experience and by invitation. This elite group advises 

Allergan Corporation on their latest product development and 

practice management systems. Dr. Burden is one of only a few 

physicians in the country that has been qualified to lecture on 

Botox®, Juvederm®, and Latisse™.

Advanced techniques in facial surgery have propelled 

the practice to the forefront.  “Facial surgery has become a 

specialty for us due to the minimal incision techniques that 

I use.” Dr. Burden explains, “The endoscopic brow lift is 

an advanced procedure only a minority of plastic surgeons 

are able to perform proficiently. It allows patients to receive 

needed surgery for both cosmetic and reconstructive reasons 

without having a large scar across the top of their scalp and 

the loss of hair that was common with the older techniques. 

We enhance the appearance and don’t give a pulled, stretched 

unnatural look.”
