Lickstein Plastic Surgery

What Lickstein Plastic Surgery does

Lickstein Plastic Surgery is a private, founder-owned plastic surgery and medical spa practice headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, operating under a dual-brand structure. The Lickstein Plastic Surgery brand delivers surgical cosmetic and reconstructive procedures across breast, body, and face — including breast augmentation, tummy tucks, liposuction, facelifts, and post-mastectomy reconstruction — while the Selah Aesthetics brand delivers non-surgical medical spa services such as BOTOX, dermal fillers (Juvéderm, Restylane, RHA, Sculptra), body contouring (CoolSculpting, EMSCULPT NEO, Emsella), and laser skin rejuvenation. The practice differentiates on the back of two board-certified surgeons (Dr. David Lickstein, MD, FACS, Harvard-trained in hand/microsurgery; Dr. Craig M. Forleiter, MD, FACS), a brand-new on-site operating room, proprietary procedures including the trademarked iLift and Lickstein Lift, and robotic hair restoration capability via the FDA-cleared ARTAS platform and NeoGraft system.

The business operates a consultation-driven, fee-for-service model in which each procedure is a discrete, one-time paid engagement priced at the point of consultation. Revenue is generated through four streams: surgical procedures, non-surgical med-spa treatments, hair restoration, and medical-grade skincare product resale (skinbetter.pro). GTM is sales-led and geographically concentrated in South Florida, with primary offices in Palm Beach Gardens (PGA Boulevard headquarters with on-site OR, plus Selah Aesthetics on Lake Victoria Gardens) and a satellite medical-spa footprint in Port St. Lucie via a partnership with Sanctuary Day Spa. Distribution also extends to telemedicine consultations through the doxy.me platform. Patient acquisition is supported by a content-rich website, before/after galleries, a 5.0 average review profile across Google/Facebook/HealthGrades/RateMDs, and a patient ambassador loyalty program offering birthday and holiday incentives.

Customer segmentation is horizontal and consumer-only: elective cosmetic surgery patients are the primary segment, with secondary segments in non-surgical aesthetic patients, reconstructive patients (notably post-mastectomy), and male patients. The practice is owner-operated with no disclosed institutional capital, no funding rounds, and no parent company. Strategic positioning emphasizes community philanthropy (founding sponsor of Impact the Palm Beaches, supporter of Place of Hope, Susan G Komen, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation), multi-year regional and national recognition (Newsweek Best Plastic Surgeons 2025 in breast augmentation, facelift, and liposuction; RealSelf Hall of Fame; Palm Beach Magazine Top 100 Most Influential 2025), and dual-surgeon capacity as a structural barrier to scale.
