Dr. Miami

What Dr. Miami does

Dr. Miami is a founder-owned, single-location plastic surgery practice operated by Dr. Michael Salzhauer, MD, FACS, at 1140 Kane Concourse in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. The practice offers a comprehensive surgical portfolio centered on body contouring and breast procedures — Brazilian Butt Lift, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, rhinoplasty, liposuction, and body contouring — supplemented by male-specific procedures (gynecomastia treatment, male liposuction, rhinoplasty, chin implants) and an AI Results Visualizer for pre-consultation outcome preview. The lead surgeon is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, an FACS Fellow, and trained at Washington University School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Medical Center, University of Miami Medical Center, and Cleveland Clinic Foundation.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with no channel partners or reseller network. Demand is generated through the official website (therealdrmiami.com), an extensive before-and-after photo gallery, AI Results Visualizer, and verified review presence on Google, RealSelf, and the Better Business Bureau. National television exposure via the 2017 WE tv docuseries "Dr. Miami" and the 2021 discovery+ documentary "They Call Me Dr. Miami" functions as the primary brand-awareness lever. The consultation funnel combines online consultation request forms (capturing procedure interest, medical history, height, weight, age, nicotine status, and photos) with in-person consultations at the Bay Harbor Islands office and supported recovery stays for out-of-town patients.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time, quote-based surgical procedure fees determined per individual surgical plan after consultation, with patient-financing partnerships through CareCredit and United Credit offering 0% interest options and terms up to seven years. Customer segments include post-pregnancy women (mommy makeover), male patients (gynecomastia and contouring), general body-contouring patients, and out-of-town medical tourists. The practice supports 881 verified 5-star reviews (last verified June 25, 2026) and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees. There is no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A history; the practice is self-funded and wholly controlled by Dr. Salzhauer.
