Miami breast implants specialist and world renown board certified plastic surgeon Leonard M. Hochstein specializes in all forms of breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lifts, and breast revision at his Florida practice. Dr. Hochstein also dedicates himself to delivering the service and quality you deserve.

It is normal to be afraid and concerned about having surgery. 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. Often times people don't understand how important this surgery is to you and how to deal with your feelings about your upcoming surgery. Because 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. Also friends and family may have your best intention in mind, but not have the right information to help you along your journey. Remember this may be the only surgery you ever have, but here at Dr. Hochstein office we go through this with patients every day so it is very important to us that you feel comfortable not only with the doctor but our entire team. With this in mind we will do our very best to make sure your journey is not only a success, but that you receive all the emotional support you need.

Testi "Jennifer gives the best customer service I have ever experienced. She is warm, friendly, approachable and patient as well as very knowledgeable and professional. It is always a pleasure speaking with her and nothing is too much trouble for her. She has put my mind at rest when I have been unsure or warned before hand and has always been on hand any time afterwards to answer any questions I had. The practice is fortunate to have someone like Jennifer working for them, she is great! Thank you."

Testi "Having 3 kids in 5 years - working full time as a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep - Turing 40 - all of these were reasons why I felt the time was right for a breast augmentation. The dilemma was - how do I find THE BEST DOCTOR? Fortunately, I found a Dr. 90210 right in Florida - and that was Dr. Hochstein. Not only did he come with excellent credentials, he had the experience & trust of very famous patients. In fact, during my consultation with Dr. Hochstein, I brought a photo of a very famous model who's breasts I admired. Turns out that her breasts were actually done by Dr. Hochstein in the recent past. What a coincidence that the breasts I admired most were done by Dr. Hochstein. Thank you Dr. Hochstein, for my excellent results that are admired daily."

Testi "I was feeling a bit self-conscious about my small and saggy breasts for quite some time and knew that my only solution would be plastic surgery. I knew several women who had undergone the procedure - some were content with their results and others were on their second or third corrective surgery. Naturally, I had mixed feelings until a friend of mine told me about a plastic surgeon in Aventura that had been profiled on the E! channel. She went on to say that the E! channel compared Dr. Hochstein to the likes of some of L.A.'s top plastic surgeons. I knew right then and there that if I were to have a breast augmentation it was going to be by someone with that kind of a reputation. After all, surgery no matter how small is always a risk.

I decided to contact Dr. Hochstein's office. When I called, I spoke to Michelle. Michelle was extremely informative and patient. Never once did I feel she was in a rush to get off the phone or was preoccupied by another task. She answered all 101 of my questions knowledgably and professionally and remained personable. I was hooked and scheduled a consultation that day!"


Testi "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!"

Testi "I just wanted to take the time to thank Dr. Hochstein. After having four children and a significant weight loss, my breasts were in sad shape! I really felt like my self confidence was affected by the way I felt about them. After a few consultations with other surgeons, I finally found Dr. Hochstein.

He was highly recommended by several people, and I was impressed with his experience and educational background. Also his entire staff made me feel so comfortable! There are not enough words to describe how great I feel about my "new breasts" and the overall experience. The only regret is not doing it sooner!"

Message from the Doctor

"I perform about 700 breast augmentation procedures annually. Let me tell you what I have learned from my experiences. Two of the most important decisions are the size and shape of the implant. I believe that the surgeon should assist in the shape decision but limit input into size when he/she sees that it is not proportionate to the patient's body. I have found that the patient's desires are the most important criteria. When you discuss implant size, forget about cups or CCs; these can be arbitrary and confusing.

When I do a surgery I try to create a look based upon the patient's input. This is best determined by looking at previous patient results or sample pictures from magazines. The women can be in clothing or a bathing suit. If the look can be conveyed to me I am very confident in picking the right size and shape to make my patient happy. I will take some measurements during the physical examination in the initial consultation. These measurements are only guidelines and do not usually determine the implant size though they can influence the shape depending upon the look each patient desires. For instance, if a patient is going for a larger "look" but has a relatively narrow chest I might suggest using a high profile implant. This will give a well defined cleavage without it being too close or extending laterally in the chest; the inverse relation is true in that a low profile implant may be chosen to allow for a good cleavage approximation.

I know that there are surgeons who dictate the implant sizes for their patients; I believe that this is a mistake because only the patient truly knows what is best for herself and her lifestyle. I think the surgeon should only influence the decision in situations when a certain implant size is not possible due to physical limitations."
