Great Surgeon!

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Steven Gelb as a plastic surgeon. I first learned about Dr. Gelb around December of 2024 when searching for a surgeon in the Miami area for a “mommy makeover” of sorts or, at a minimum, a breast lift and minor liposuction. I found the surgery center Dr. Gelb previously worked at on instagram, and there were great before and after posts, most of which seemed to have been of surgeries performed by Dr. Gelb. I researched his background, education and accreditations and started following him on Instagram to keep seeing his work while I continued my search. What impressed me the most about Dr. Gelb as I learned more about him is that he is unequivocally passionate about his craft. He frequently posts about the trainings he continuously partakes in with masters of plastic surgery here and abroad. He researches and stays informed of the latest technologies and techniques and creates content on his social media to educate his patients on them. You can clearly see Dr. Gelb’s commitment and passion to his work through his videos and posts. I am a huge self-proclaimed nerd and perfectionists, so I very much appreciated Dr. Gelb’s commitment to perfect his plastic surgery techniques and procedures to deliver the best outcome possible.

When looking for a plastic surgeon, I mostly considered the doctor’s education, training, certifications, “before and after” photos illustrating the surgery outcomes and the doctor’s approach with patients/whether I got that “gut feeling” of trust that the doctor would be attentive to my needs and keep me safe. I also wanted to make sure that my surgery was not performed by a surgeon who performs the same surgeries five times a day without establishing a personal connection with patients and/or not being informed of emerging practices that can deliver the best outcome. The more I researched, the more I was led toward Dr. Gelb. Although I didn’t love the operations at the surgery center he previously worked at (that’s for a different review), I nonetheless paid a deposit and set a surgery date with Dr. Gelb. As my surgery date got close (the week of!), I suddenly learned that Dr. Gelb left the surgery center and was going to work at a different facility. I immediately messaged Dr. Gelb to let him know I did not want to have surgery with anyone else and would follow him wherever he went. Graciously, given my particular circumstances, Dr. Gelb met with me for a great second consultation and worked with my budget for this “project” taking into account that I had a specific budget and invoice for surgery that same week and lost my deposit at the previous center. He made it work for both of us and I had my surgery with him just a few days after at his new state of the art facility (which is amazing!!).

I am ten days post of from a vaserlipo BBL with quantum and a breast lift with implants and am already amazed by the results. I loved his detailed and relaxed pre-op consultation, his attention to detail, bedside manner and attentiveness post-surgery. All the staff at The Method Plastic Surgery is also very sweet, attentive and professional.

Pros:
Great education and training
Board Certified
Uses latest technologies and practices
Attention to detail
Detailed consultation
Sets realistic expectations
Great bedside manner
Great post-op care and accessibility
He’s a “real person”/has a sense of humor/is personable

Cons:
Not really any cons for me…but I’ll list what some may see as a con.

Cost- Fees are higher at the new facility, but the increase is very well worth it for what you’ll get.

Tough love- he’ll tell you things as he sees them. For example, he’ll let you know if you need to set realistic expectations if you ask for liposuction when you are really a candidate for a tummy tuck. I appreciate this approach much more than being deceived and facing disappointment later.
