About Dr. David Kent, MD

Dr. David Elliot Kent, MD is a native Georgian and board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon providing care to patients in Macon and Middle Georgia at Skin Care Physicians of Georgia.

Dr. Kent was the  first Mohs Fellowship trained dermatologist in the state outside of Atlanta. He has performed over 36,000 Mohs surgical procedures and is one of a select number of program directors charged with training other dermatologists in the procedure accredited through the American College of Mohs Surgery.

His cosmetic dermatology focus is on helping patients improve their body contours and shape through both surgical and non-surgical options. He has performed tumescent liposuction with micro-cannulas for over 23 years. Dr. Kent has incorporated lasers with liposuction to selectively melt fat and tighten skin with remarkable tightening and even faster recovery than what is seen in with traditional tumescent liposuction.

Dr. Kent is also an original investigator for the newest technology in non-surgical body shaping- Emsculpt, the only technology that focuses on muscle to tighten and sculpt your abdominal wall and provide the only non-surgical butt lift.

Dr. Kent trains other physicians from the US and internationally on different aesthetic procedures, including tumescent laser-assisted liposuction and fractional ablative laser resurfacing. He has also published numerous articles on topics of dermatologic surgery and reconstruction as well as chapters in textbooks.
