Michael Salzhauer also known as Dr. Miami[2][3] is an American cosmetic and plastic surgeon and children's book author.[4]

Education

Salzhauer attended a public high school his freshman year. After being teased about his nose, he moved to Frisch School.[5] He attended Brooklyn College for 2 years, where he met his wife, Eva, and eventually graduated from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri.[6]

Career

Salzhauer authored a children's book in 2008, titled My Beautiful Mommy which focused on a young girl whose mother was undergoing abdominoplasty and rhinoplasty.[7][8] The book caused vigorous online debates due to it appearing to glamorize plastic surgery and that it could "undermine the self-esteem" of children. Salzhauer clarified that the intention of the book was only to aid parents who were undergoing plastic surgery and not to "corrupt society".[9]

In 2009, Salzhauer published a virtual plastic surgery iPhone application that allowed users to tweak photographs of themselves to simulate operations. The New York Times commented that the results were "worthy of a fun-house mirror".[10]

In 2012 he caused controversy within the Orthodox Jewish community after producing a video titled "Jewcan Sam" with the Jewish punk band The Groggers.[11][12][13] The video features a young Jewish man who undergoes rhinoplasty at the request of his girlfriend. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons initiated an ethics investigation as a result,[11] and both Salzhauer and the band were accused of playing into Jewish stereotypes.

Michael Salzhauer is currently Chief surgeon at Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery in Miami, Florida.[14]

To promote plastic surgery, he has appeared in several television programs of notable media like CBS News, NBC News, CNN[15] and FOX News,[16] The Today Show, Univision, Telemundo, Inside Edition,[17] WTVT,[18] have also featured segments with Dr. Salzhauer. Several popular national newspapers and magazines like The Miami Herald,[19] New York Times,[20] Newsweek,[21] Allure, Life & Style,[22]

Michael Salzhauer is also active on different social media networks posting under his alias Dr. Miami. Apart from using Instagram and Twitter, the surgeon is also active on SnapChat’s story mode, where he posts videos of cosmetic surgeries happening in real time.[2][23][24][25][26][27] He currently receives around 1.2 million SnapChat views daily.[28][29]

In Jan 2016, Salzhauer nominated for the eight annual Shorty Award in the Snapchatter of the year category.[30][31] He came in second place, losing to DJ Khaled.[32]
