Professional detail.
A personal decision.

MD · Plastic and reconstructive surgeon

Dr. Michael Diaz is a plastic surgeon at a nearby Melbourne practice. His official biography reports American Board of Plastic Surgery certification, a medical degree and general surgery residency at the University of Miami, and plastic surgery fellowship training at the University of Massachusetts. Official physician biography ↗

His practice emphasizes breast and body surgery and also describes facial surgery and medical spa care. Palm Bay readers should plan for consultation and follow-up in nearby Melbourne. Practice overview ↗

Nearby Melbourne office: Diaz Plastic Surgery Specialists lists 1513 South Harbor City Boulevard, Melbourne, FL 32901. Confirm appointment availability, the surgeon and the planned surgical facility directly with the team. Official contact details ↗

For your consultation, ask who will perform each part of treatment, which facility will be used and how follow-up will work. The profile identifies a professional and a practice; your assessment should establish whether a particular treatment fits your health, goals and circumstances.

02 / Before you book

Start with the essentials.

Four checks to make before choosing a date or paying a deposit.

01

Check the credentials.

Use the Florida Department of Health’s physician profile search for licensure and the ABPS verification service for plastic surgery board certification. These checks answer different questions.

Florida physician lookup ↗
02

Understand the proposal.

Ask about expected changes, limitations, alternatives and the important risks for you. Bring your medical history and a list of medicines and supplements; discuss them with the treating team.

ASPS patient safety ↗
03

Confirm the setting.

Ask where the procedure will take place, who provides anesthesia and how the team responds to complications. The consulting address may differ from the surgical facility.

Verify ABPS certification ↗
04

Plan the follow-up.

Request written recovery instructions, scheduled follow-up and an urgent contact. The featured office is in Melbourne; ask how long to stay near your actual surgical facility and when travel is appropriate.

Preparation & safety resources ↗

The consultation mindset

A good plan begins with your priorities.

Describe the concern in your own words. Ask what the proposed approach would change, what it would leave unchanged and whether postponing treatment or doing nothing is a reasonable option. Use reference photographs to explain a preference, without treating another person’s result as a promise. Prepare your consultation →

03 / Procedure conversations

Explore the questions.

An educational index of common aesthetic-surgery topics. These descriptions do not establish which procedures the featured clinician offers or whether a procedure is suitable for you.

01

Breast augmentation

Implants, proportions and future follow-up belong in the same discussion. Be clear about the change you hope to achieve and the maintenance questions you want answered.

Ask your clinicianWhich options fit my anatomy, and what ongoing implant monitoring or future surgery should I consider?

Breast lift or augmentation? →
02

Breast lift

A lift and an increase in volume address different concerns. Ask the clinician to explain the proposed incisions, expected scars and whether an implant is part of the plan.

Ask your clinicianWhat can a lift achieve on its own, and what are the trade-offs of adding an implant?

The breast lift conversation →
03

Liposuction

Describe the specific areas that concern you and ask about the limitations of contouring. Skin quality and the overall treatment plan need individual assessment.

Ask your clinicianWhat would liposuction leave unchanged, and how will you assess skin and contour?

Liposuction or tummy tuck? →
04

Abdominoplasty

An abdominal consultation should connect your goals with an examination, recovery arrangements and the proposed extent of surgery.

Ask your clinicianWhere would scars sit, and what help, follow-up and restrictions should I plan for?

Abdominoplasty planning →
05

Eyelid surgery

Upper and lower eyelids can involve different concerns. Ask how your eye history and the examination affect available options.

Ask your clinicianWhich concerns would this plan address, and how will eye health be assessed?

Upper versus lower eyelids →
06

Rhinoplasty

Nasal appearance, breathing and any previous surgery are separate details to bring into the same consultation.

Ask your clinicianHow would the proposed approach address breathing, shape and existing asymmetry?

Rhinoplasty consultation checklist →

For clinical information, use the ASPS procedure library ↗ alongside your treating team’s written advice.

04 / Understanding costs

Build a clear budget.

U.S. national surgeon-fee benchmarks help frame questions. Your individual treatment plan requires its own written quote.

National surgeon-fee benchmarks — not Palm Bay prices. ASPS publishes the figures below on its procedure-cost pages. They exclude anesthesia, operating-room facilities and related expenses. They are not Dr. Diaz’s prices or complete procedure totals. These source pages were checked October 4, 2026; they do not identify a statistical year for the displayed figures.
ASPS-published U.S. benchmarks · USD · Surgeon-fee component only
ProcedurePublished averageSource and scope
Breast augmentation with implants$4,875Implant-based augmentation · ASPS ↗
Breast lift$6,816Mastopexy · ASPS ↗
Abdominoplasty$8,174Tummy tuck · ASPS ↗
Liposuction$4,711Liposuction · ASPS ↗
Upper eyelid surgery$3,359Upper blepharoplasty · ASPS ↗
Facelift$11,395Facelift · ASPS ↗

These published averages do not establish the price of a particular surgeon, location or individual case. Fees may change. Ask the practice for surgeon, facility, anesthesia, implant or device, aftercare and revision terms in writing. The table’s source year is separate from the 2025 procedure-count charts below.

A quote has more than one line.

Start with your personal written estimate, then check what is included before adding amounts to the worksheet. Do not count an anesthesia or facility charge twice if it is already included in a package. Ask whether consultation, prescriptions, garments and follow-up are extra. Read the CPS U.S. cost guide →

Ask the office to confirm its current consultation fee, any deposit and cancellation terms. An individual written surgical quote should explain each included charge and any possible additional fees.

05 / The consultation notebook

Arrive with better questions.

Two simple planning tools for your consultation. Use them to organize a discussion and a written quote with your treating team.

Prepare your conversation

Consultation checklist

Tick a topic once you have a clear answer. Bring any unanswered questions to your clinician.

Questions to discuss with your treating team

A discussion aid, not a medical assessment. No answers or personal health details are collected.

Read the whole quote

Your USD budget worksheet

Enter amounts from your own quote or estimates. Every field starts empty; this worksheet does not suggest prices.

Keep the quote in context

Confirm whether each amount includes taxes. This tool does not add taxes, estimate rebates or fill in missing costs. Enter a fee once; if a package already includes a category, avoid counting it twice.

Blank fields are unknown, not free. An entered subtotal is not a complete treatment quote. Ask what follow-up, revisions or unexpected care may cost.

Use non-negative amounts up to USD 1,000,000 per field, with no more than two decimal places. Figures and ticks remain only in this open page; nothing is sent or saved by these tools.

06 / The national perspective

The U.S., in numbers.

ASPS 2025 statistics. U.S. national estimates provide context; they are not Palm Bay procedure counts.

07 / City planning

Make room for recovery.

Practical questions for Palm Bay readers arranging care at the featured Melbourne office.

Before your appointment

Choose the right address.

The featured office is in Melbourne, outside Palm Bay. The practice lists 1513 South Harbor City Boulevard, Melbourne, FL 32901. Confirm your consultation address, the facility planned for surgery, who provides anesthesia and where follow-up visits will take place.

Around your treatment

Plan practical support.

Discuss transportation, accompaniment and help with everyday tasks before choosing a date. Ask your clinician about time away from work, local follow-up and travel arrangements appropriate to your procedure and health.

After your visit

Know who to call.

Keep the treating team’s written instructions and urgent contact details. Confirm how concerns are handled after hours. The magazine’s enquiry channel is for editorial matters and cannot provide clinical follow-up.

08 / Frequently asked

The useful
answers.

A few details to clarify before contacting a clinic.

Is Dr. Michael Diaz a board-certified plastic surgeon?

The official practice describes Dr. Diaz as board certified in plastic surgery. Use the American Board of Plastic Surgery and Florida Department of Health links to check current credentials before booking. This editorial profile is not a live registration certificate.

Where is the featured regional office?

The practice lists 1513 South Harbor City Boulevard, Melbourne, FL 32901, with telephone 321-951-2639. This office is in Melbourne, not Palm Bay. Confirm the appointment and surgical facility directly with the practice.

Are these complete surgical prices?

No. The table presents ASPS-published national surgeon-fee benchmarks, not local quotes. Anesthesia, operating facilities and related expenses are excluded. Ask the practice for an itemized personal quote. The worksheet only adds the amounts you enter.

Can I read the clinic’s Google reviews?

Use Open Google reviews to visit Google Maps. On the published page, the live control can request the current aggregate rating and count when the site’s Google configuration permits it. Reviews are user feedback, not proof of credentials or a prediction of your result.

Do the charts describe Palm Bay procedure numbers?

No. They show U.S. national estimates from the ASPS report, with the year and scope identified. They are not Palm Bay counts, unique patients or a measure of Dr. Diaz’s activity.

Does CPS book medical appointments?

Use the clinic’s official telephone or website for appointments. The separate CPS form prepares a WhatsApp or email draft for magazine enquiries, corrections, profile claims or feature applications. The visitor reviews and sends the draft in their chosen app.
