Statement: With a remarkable career spanning more than two decades in South Florida, Dr. Max Polo is a distinguished board-certified plastic surgeon, renowned for his commitment to enhancing individuals’ natural beauty. His journey to becoming a prominent figure in Miami’s plastic surgery landscape began with over eleven successful years in solo practice before receiving an invitation to join the prestigious Miami Plastic Surgery group in 2014.

Dr. Polo’s practice encompasses a wide spectrum of aesthetic procedures, both non-surgical and surgical, with a strong focus on facial rejuvenation. His expertise shines in techniques such as neuromodulators (such as Botox), soft tissue fillers, Kybella, and thread lifts. Additionally, he has honed his skills in various aesthetic facial surgeries, including InMode – FaceTite RFAL/skin tightening, brow lifts, blepharoplasty, face lifts, neck lifts, and neck liposuction.

While excelling in facial procedures, Dr. Polo’s true passion lies in breast and body contouring. His proficiency covers breast augmentation, breast lifts (mastopexy), breast reduction, liposuction, fat transfer for gluteal and breast augmentation, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), Cellfina and Aveli cellulite treatments, buttock and thigh lifts, and arm lifts (brachioplasty). With extensive experience in complex breast, body, and facial reconstruction for cancer and trauma, he is sought after for his expertise in intricate revision aesthetic surgeries.

Dr. Polo’s commitment to excellence extends to his board certification by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, a testament to his unwavering dedication to upholding the highest standards of patient care. He diligently pursues continuing education to stay at the forefront of his field and actively participates in renowned professional organizations, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the Miami Society of Plastic Surgeons.

A native of Tampa, Florida, Dr. Polo proudly embraces his Cuban and Italian heritage and is fluent in both English and Spanish. His educational journey began at Tampa Jesuit High School and continued with an Ivy League undergraduate education at the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Biology. He subsequently obtained his doctorate degree from the University Of Miami, Miller School of Medicine, and completed eight years of post-graduate surgery specialty training, including two residencies and an elective fellowship. His training culminated in a prestigious Plastic Surgery residency at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Dr. Polo’s contributions to the field extend beyond his clinical practice, with numerous national presentations and publications in peer-reviewed journals. His dedication to research was recognized by the American Burn Association, which awarded him the Carl A. Moyer Award for outstanding research. Dr. Polo is equally committed to education, currently serving as a voluntary clinical assistant professor at Florida International University, Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine.

Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I think my breast size is small for my age.I have no interest in surgery or implantation.
Autologous fat grafting may be the best answer
Jan 14, 2018
Thank you for your question and photo Maria. Unfortunately without implants or some type of surgery, there is no safe and effective method of achieving permanent augmentation in breast size. There are products and devices that will cause temporary engorgement of the breasts. Injectable fillers have also been used off label for augmentation of breasts, however these results are also temporary and large volume increases are not practically achievable. Use of permanent injectable fillers in th…
Does using intraoperative breast sizers increase the risk of infection/complications?
This IS common and safe practice!
Jan 14, 2018
Thank you for this excellent question. Using sizers during breast augmentation surgery is common practice with many potential benefits and little added risk. Much can be accomplished with careful preop planning to select a narrow range of implants that will best meet an individual patient’s needs and goals. At that point it is best to allow your surgeon to use their judgement to select the exact implant that works best. For even the most skilled and experienced surgeons there often is an ad…
Hyper-sensitivity in the nipple along with numbness 3 months post op. 320ccs in each breast.
Good chance for recovery
Jan 14, 2018
Thank you for your question. The risk of problems with nipple sensation after breast augmentation are similar with all incisional approaches. The nerves that are primarily responsible for nipple sensation are most susceptible to injury from dissection of the lateral portion of the implant pocket where they exit from the muscles between the ribs and enter the deep surface of the breast. From there they travel gradually more superficially through the breast toward the nipple. Complete loss of …
Looking for an experienced physician for Botox – frown lines and light eyelid lift. Will Botox relax muscl
Botox and maybe Blepharoplasty
Dec 31, 2017
Thank you for your question. Botox will certainly improve the frown lines between your eyebrows. This is one of and the original FDA indication for the drug. What most people more often appreciate about the benefits of their Botox treatments however, is how it opens up their eyes and gives them a more rested and youthful appearance. The same muscles that allow us to frown also function to depress the eyebrows. When we block these muscles with Botox, removing their resting tone results in e…
Feminizing square bony female face: I’m concerned with my large masseter muscles and long rectangular face
Masseter Botox and cheek volume
Dec 31, 2017
Thank you for your question and photo. I do believe that you would benefit from masseter Botox injection for narrowing your lower face and jaw. You appear to be an excellent candidate. I also believe that you would benefit from fillers to add volume and projection to your cheeks and to widen your midface for a more rounded or heart shape. Be sure to consult with an experienced and qualified, board certified injector from one of the core specialties. Best of luck!Dr. Polo
What are my options for treating an excess amount of lines when I smile?
Not Botox, but Sculptra, HA fillers or fat
Dec 31, 2017
Thank you for your question Danyel. We do not treat smile lines like yours with Botox or other neuromodulators. To do so would require blocking the muscles that allow you to smile. We treat those lines either by filling them from inside with fillers or autologous fat and/or by smoothing and tightening the skin from the outside with lasers or similar devices. Since you are not bothered as much by the fine lines at rest which would be more effectively treated from the outside with res…
How to make breasts and areola smaller and more lifted without losing the ability to breastfeed in the fut
Breast lift without reduction has little to no risk of subsequent breast feeding problems
Dec 31, 2017
Thank you for your question and photos. From your photos and the goals that you expressed, I would recommend a breast lift or mastopexy. Breast lift procedures always involve incisions and scars around the nipple/areola complex but need only extend to the depth of skin and subcutaneous fat. Breast reduction procedures involve the same skin incisions but also include deeper resection of some of the breast tissue. This resection of breast tissue is where the risk of subsequent inability to b…
Capsular contracture?? 9 months post op.
Best to follow up with your surgeon
Dec 31, 2017
Thank you for your question and photos. You appear to have a nice result and I see no major problem from the photos submitted. You do seem to have a subtle asymmetry in your preop photos with the volume of the left breast being larger. I believe that I see the same subtle asymmetry in the POST-OP photos. These would be common, normal findings but may be related to photographic technique. Discomfort may be the initial presentation with capsular contracture. If you have noticed a change, you…
Must breast implant be removed once it can be seen? 1 month post BA.
Safest approach is to remove implants
Dec 31, 2017
Thank you for your question and photos. I am sorry that you are in this difficult situation. Usually breast augmentation surgery yields excellent results but sometimes complications occur. In the case of implant exposure, removal and reimplantation is without question the safest approach. Some surgeons will at times attempt to salvage the implant by washing out the pocket, possibly exchanging the implant and closing the wound. With exposure, there is at a minimum, contamination of the…

Thank you for your questions and photos Shailay. The piercings shouldn’t be a problem. A full B cup is certainly attainable and should give you a nice, natural result. Be sure to find an experienced and qualified surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to help you determine which option of incision, implant type, position and size would best meet your wishes. Best of luck!Dr. Polo
Exercise after breast augmentation?
Should be safe to ski 6 weeks post op but be careful

Be sure to find an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon then trust and follow your doctor’s advice. It should be safe to ski 6 weeks after breast augmentation but just to be extra safe, it would be best to stay on the easy runs and avoid the snowboarding. Best of luck! Dr. Polo
BA on 20th November, when can I start doing leg days at the gym, squatting etc?
No lifting/straining for 14 days

Thank you for your question Emily. Hopefully you found a properly qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. If so, it is always best to follow your doctor’s instructions. Internal bleeding can occur up to 14 days after breast augmentation, especially after subpectoral augmentation. I instruct my patients to avoid heavy lifting and straining with upper or lower body for at least 14 days after surgery. Lunges and squats with no weight or l…
Could I get my breast done 2 months after my BBL and liposculpture?
2 months between surgeries should be adequate
Dec 2, 2017
Thank you for your question. In my opinion there are two important issues in deciding how long to wait between these two surgeries. The first is related to blood loss. With many BBL procedures a fairly large volume of liposuction will be performed and the associated blood loss will result in the patient having some degree of anemia after surgery. This should be allowed to correct fully before the next elective surgery and eight weeks should be adequate. The second issue relates to p…
What procedure would be best for me?
Augmentation with or without lift

It is difficult to make recommendations without at least seeing photographs. From your change in bra size, it sounds like you have probably lost about 300cc of breast volume. If you would like to return to a full C cup then that would be a good place to start when choosing an implant size. I like to use an implant sizing system with specially designed sizing implants that you place inside a bra and t-shirt to help determine your size preference. Digital imaging systems are also helpful. If y…
Can I gain 2 or more cup sizes with breast fat transfer?
1 full cup size increase is usually the most realistic expectation
Sep 30, 2017
Thank you for your question. The retained volume of autologous fat grafted for breast augmentation depends on multiple factors. There must be adequate volume of tissue within the breast to receive and revascularize the grafted fat. The greater the initial volume of the breast the greater the volume of grafted fat that may be accepted and retained. There must also be an adequate amount of donor fat available at other body areas. I do not know your height, weight, BMI, but with a bra size of…
