Dr. Max Polo, Expert Plastic Surgeon in Miami

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Max Polo is a board-certified plastic surgeon in the prime of his career. He has been in private practice in South Florida for 22 years. After building a reputation as one of the premier plastic surgeons in Miami over more than 11 years of successful solo practice, Dr. Polo was invited to join the prestigious Miami Plastic Surgery group in 2014. Dr. Polo’s practice has since been focused on both non-surgical and cosmetic surgery procedures for the face, breasts and body. He skillfully performs aesthetic facial injectable procedures, including: neuromodulators (i.e. Botox), dermal and soft tissue fillers, Kybella, and threadlifts. Dr. Polo also capably performs many aesthetic facial surgeries, including: InMode – FaceTite RFAL/skin tightening, brow lifts, blepharoplasty, face lifts, neck lifts, and neck liposuction. Dr. Polo’s greatest experience and proficiency, however is in breast and body contouring procedures, including:  breast augmentation, breast lifts (mastopexy), breast reduction, liposuction, fat transfer for gluteal and breast augmentation, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), and Aveli cellulite treatments, buttock and thigh lifts, and arm lifts (brachioplasty). Dr. Polo has extensive past experience performing the most complex breast, body and facial reconstruction for cancer and trauma. He believes that this background, combined with his equally extensive experience with aesthetic procedures, makes him ideally suited to perform the most complex revision aesthetic surgery, particularly for the breasts and body. Many individuals, with dissatisfaction or complications following previous plastic surgery procedures, seek out Dr. Polo’s valuable skill set for these sophisticated services.
