Additionally, we’ll discuss the general business and marketing side of plastic surgery.                As always, I’m your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." Furthermore, I’m also a consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits.  What You Can Learn from Dr. Miami’s Wild Growth Certainly, you’ve likely heard of Dr. Miami. However, you may not know the business strategies that built his brand. This week on "Beauty and the Biz," I sat down with Michael Salzhauer, MD—also known as Dr. Miami. Specifically, he’s a board-certified plastic surgeon who created a high-performing practice in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. Indeed, he’s not just a viral personality. Instead, he’s a sharp entrepreneur with a solid business foundation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  For example, he:  First, bought a four-story building with parking, operating rooms, and recovery suites—all within walking distance of home Second, performs surgery daily and remains fully booked Third, outsourced consults and scheduling so his team can focus on clinical care Fourth, targets niche demographics that resonate with his message  As a result, his high-volume practice runs smoothly and profitably. Additionally, we explored the systems that keep things moving, the mindset he applies to hiring, and the decisions that shaped his growth. Ultimately, even if you don’t plan to go viral, you’ll pick up strategies to scale smarter and faster. P.S. You don’t need more leads — you need better conversions. Importantly, our three-part  will teach your team how to turn more calls and consults into booked surgeries. Specifically, no discounting or extra stress required.

Cosmetic Patients: What They Want and Why Recently, I joined Dr. Jae Kim on his "You Are Beautiful" podcast. Specifically, we discussed a topic we both care deeply about: the psychology of the cosmetic patient.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  In this episode, we talk about:   First, what today’s aesthetic patient really wants (spoiler: it’s more than just a procedure)   Next, how social media, status, and emotion influence decisions   Then, why surgeons must master both their craft and their business   Finally, the unspoken truths about consultations, pricing, and patient conversion   Overall, if you serve cash-paying patients, this episode is a must-listen. Importantly, you’ll walk away with insights you can use right away to attract and convert more patients. ⚡ P.S. Special Pricing Ends Soon Typically, smart practices use the summer slowdown to retrain, retool, and relaunch. Consequently, they’re ready to grow when demand picks up again. However, this is your last chance before the special pricing expires. So, if you want your staff to:   First, book more surgery consultations   Second, convert more consults into procedures   Third, cross-promote all of your services   Then, the  is the solution.
