Leonard M Hochstein, MD

Here at Dr. Hochstein's office we encourage our patients to ask a lot of question until they feel confident not only in Dr. Hochstein but his staff as well. Emotional support is very important when having plastic surgery and often times family and friends have a hard time giving the support that's needed due to a lack of understanding. This can stem from people not understanding how important this surgery is to you and how to deal with your feelings about your upcoming surgery. Since plastic surgery is elective and it is cosmetic friends and family can become complacent not realizing how important it is that you have their support at this time. They may have your best intention in mind, but may not have the right information to help you along your journey.

Leonard M. Hochstein, MD

Dr. Leonard Hochstein is one of the first Plastic Surgeon‘s to be featured outside of the L. A. area for his celebrity cliental received recognition on E! Entertainment Television series, on the High Price of Fame: Under the Knife that debuted April 8th at 10 p.m. Leonard Hochstein appeared on the series when E! decided to follow Playboy model turned actress, Heidi Mark for her third breast surgery.

The High Price of Fame is a documentary exploring the side of celebrity life not commonly known by the public. This segment of Under the Knife discovered what celebrities do to compete with age and imperfections in a beauty based market. Celebrity doctors were interviewed about cosmetic procedures and age inhibitors such as Botox injections. Cosmetic procedures like these run rampant in cities full of the rich and famous such as Los Angeles and Miami.

Miami Plastic Surgeon Leonard Hochstein, a leading South Florida Plastic Surgeon was highlighted in this documentary to take us through the process of Breast Augmentation undertaken by actress Heidi Mark. Dr. Hochstein himself performed her third and most recent procedure. "Breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures in this area. Heidi has had some experience with this surgery before too, so the operation should be easy for both of us," Dr. Hochstein told E! He also informed us that "Many people look down on cosmetic surgery, but few people realize how much it can help a person‘s state of mind. When people are more confident about themselves they are more confident in life, and cosmetic and reconstructive surgery helps this happen."

Both E! Entertainment TV and the doctors interviewed in Under the Knife wanted to emphasize that you should do a lot of research before getting any operations done. You should especially check out the credentials of your doctor. "Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is not something you want to bargain shop for," assured Dr. Hochstein. "Make sure that your physician is a board certified plastic surgeon."

Remember Plastic Surgery is not just for those who want to make aesthetic changes. Dr. Hochstein performs reconstructive surgical procedures for people who have suffered accidents such as burns, or vehicle accidents that have caused any damage to your normal appearance. He also performs reconstructive surgery on those who have been born with birth defects such as a cleft lip. "We are here to change not only other people‘s perception of you, but most importantly, the perception you have of yourself. We want you to be confident about the way you look and feel. Your outward appearance should be a reflection of how feel inside and Cosmetic Surgery affords you the option of making the two coincidence." No individual would be able to resist a consultation with his client-oriented agenda in mind.

Dr. Leonard M. Hochstein is a board certified aesthetic and plastic surgeon and is considered one of the top surgeons in the world.  His patients come from as far away as Australia and India , also England and the European Community as well as Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Hochstein is an outstanding surgeon and has an incredible background to show. I have been researching Board Certified Plastic Surgeons seriously for about 4 years- and could not be more lucky to have found Dr. Hochstein. He has very prestigious qualifications and his training is remarkable. He took the time before to carefully listen and understand the things I wanted to change about my body and he did just that. With his help I feel like my outside matches who I am on the inside! Dr. Hochstein even took time to call and check up on me personally after surgery. The whole staff is marvelous! Every person is very caring, informative and genuinely concerned for the person not just the patient. Not only did they make me feel very safe and totally comfortable with the procedure- which was MY FIRST operation of any kind EVER, but they also took the time to reassure my Parents as well. Dr. Hochstein and the staff were supportive every step of the way- there was always someone in my room checking up on me after surgery. As an out of towner they re-arranged their hectic schedule to fit mine- and answered question after question with a supportive and caring nature. It is extremely refreshing how Dr. Hochstein and his whole staff are so dedicated to the well being of their patients. They have truly changed my life and I LOVE the beautiful results! Dr. Hochstein has given me a confidence that I never had before that is spilling over into all areas of my life. I will never forget the wonderful people from his office who I am so lucky to have met. Dr. Hochstein and his staff are by far the VERY BEST- you could not ask for anything better! -S.T., Cosmetic Surgery Patient
