I like the size but had bottoming out and horrible scars - Miami, FL
Posted by MiamiGirlxx
Breast Implants
I have been researching different types of Implants and Plastic Surgeons for about 2yrs before I was able to finally get my breasts done. I was excited when I found Dr. Hochstein online. He seemed like the perfect Doc on paper & Dr. Hochstein was friendly in person. We discussed a few different things, but by the end I still was not sure what I wanted so I thought I'd obviously leave it up to him- the Pro. I had no doubt about him until AFTER surgery.. My nipple scars were looking horrible.. my right breast had "bottomed out". I looked like I had saggy breasts! I am an average weight female, no kids.. I had small but perky boobs to begin with. I dont understand how they came out so horrible! The scars were thick and red up until I got my re-do with a different doc 2 years after Hochstein did my first Breast Augmentation. I was embarrassed to show my breasts to anyone because of the horrible scars. I wish I would have had a better experience with him.. it would have saved me the embarrassment/suffering and saved the $8500 that had to be paid to another doctor to fix my scars and bottoming out with an internal bra. Overall, Dr Hochstein and his staff are very friendly people. Friendly is nice, but I was there for a good boob job which I did not get. This is my 100% honest opinion about the work I received.. I would not recommend him to any of my friends... Wish they had "stars" to judge the actual work I received and not just the process.
I Feel Young Again - Miami
Posted by Donna15
I first watched my Dr. in Miami Slice about 7 or 8 years ago. I never thought I would use his talents at the time, I just enjoyed the show and thought I got to know him and his life. A few years later I began to think differently about plastic surgery and came to see Dr. H for a conslutation. Soon after I became his patient. He is just as amazing in person, but I stll can't beleive how a simple show changed how I live my life.

Breast Reduction
They don't call him "The Boob God" for nothing. This doctor's work is EXCEPTIONAL. The results far exceeded my expectations. 1.5 months post-op and my breasts are perky, symmetrical and look and feel natural and the scars have almost disappeared! I'm glad I chose the best doctor, it has made all the diffrence. Also he has the best staff one could hope for: responsive, involved, knowledgeable and professional. There are boob doctors everywhere - Dr. Hochstein is a master at the art of breasts.

Everything about my breast augmentation went smoothly, and I came in from Canada to see Dr. Hochstein! I sent him pictures online and we spoke on the phone. His staff were lovely and answered all my questions before and after the surgery. I told Dr. Hochstein what I wanted and he gave me exactly that. He even widened my breasts to give me the fuller look I was after. I am absolutely thrilled with the look and feel of my beautiful new breasts!

3 Months PostOp: Upper/Lower Eyelids Surgery with Chemical Peel - Miami, FL

Eyelid Surgery
After interviewing several Plastic Surgeons, some recommended to me and others that I researched online, I chose Dr. Leonard Hochstein because of his calm, confident demeanor during my consultation. He and his staff were supportive and answered all my questions. His office was comfortable and his staff were welcoming. He also had many pictures to share of his excellent work and had many pictures of procedures he had done on patients who have similar characteristics to mine. No two procedures were alike and the final results were complimentary and unique to each patient.

Very Happy with the New Me - Miami, FL

He did a perfect job, I'm very satisfied. Dr Hochstein was highly recommended by a close friend. I did my tummy tuck with Dr Hochstein and I 'm very happy. He went over everything and fully explained everything to me, his staff were very helpful as well. I was debating about the procedure, after having my 3rd child and I felt so bad about myself and with the consultation with Dr Hochstein, I went through with it. I will be doing a facelift soon with him. He did an amazing job
I Wish I Had Done This Years Ago - Miami, FL

Dr Hochstein knows his craft and knows how to treat his patients. I felt at ease with him and knew I would be in good care. My first consultation with Dr Hochstein was 5 months ago when I went in to get more information about doing a breast implants. 3 weeks later I went in for the actual procedure, after a few weeks all I can say was this guy knows what he is doing and the fact he takes his time and goes over all the questions I had it shows he really does care.

I chose this rating because when I first went in for consultation I was not being pushed with getting the procedure done while other doctors I went to see I felt they were trying to do a sale pitch with me.

Things to Know When Picking Out Breast Implants Sizes

There are people that believe the doctor should pick their sizes however, it can lead to an unhappy outcome for the patient although he/she may be a doctor this is still just one persons option. There are doctors that prefer smaller implants and will push for a more natural conservative look when a patient desires for a much larger sexier appearance and vice versa.

Saline vs. Silicone Breast Implants
In recent years there has been some debate as to which breast implants are better and what kind of maintenance or replacement is necessary. The FDA ruling to allow the use of silicone again has certainly raised the popularity of these implants and I have seen a greater demand in my own practice in Miami. So what are the differences? Breast implants are composed of a shell and a filling. The shell consists of solid silicone. In saline filled implants there is a valve through which saline is...
Do Not Let Your Surgeon Pick Your Desired Size
This has been interesting reading for me as I am a plastic surgeon who specializes in BA. I perform about 450 such procedures annually. Let me tell you what I have learned. The best way to choose your implant is to forget about cc’s. Let the surgeon do that…it’s his job. What you should do is be able to communicate the look you are trying to achieve and often pictures of other people is a good place to start. There have been many times when a patient has told me they wanted to be a...
