01 - Patient Philosophy

A patient-first approach

Dr Tachmes is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is also an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Together, these credentials reflect elite academic training and a commitment to the highest standards of patient care.

His philosophy is straightforward: honest guidance, individualised care, and outcomes that enhance confidence while preserving natural beauty. He treats each patient as a partner, not a procedure.

As a result, he has become a trusted choice for some of the most technically demanding work in aesthetic surgery. This includes facial rejuvenation, complex breast revision, and procedures that require real surgical judgement.

02 - SURGICAL PHILOSOPHY

Enhancing rather than changing

Dr Tachmes performs the full range of aesthetic surgery of the face and body. He draws on more than three decades of Miami practice and training at some of the most respected surgical institutions in the country.

His work spans facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, and body contouring. However, his approach across all of these areas follows the same principle: plastic surgery is both a science and an art.

He prioritises natural proportion and lasting results over dramatic, short-lived change. Whether refining the delicate area around the eyes or reshaping the body’s overall contour, his goal is always the same. In short, enhance what is already there, rather than impose an obvious operated look.

03 - REPUTATION

Trusted across South Florida

Patients across South Florida come to Dr Tachmes for facial rejuvenation, eyelid and ear surgery, male chest correction, and precise body contouring. In addition, he handles some of the more complex reconstructive and revision cases that require genuine surgical judgement.

Furthermore, he is fluent in English and Spanish. As a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, he is a trusted choice across Miami’s diverse patient community.

04 - Education & Training

Elite surgical training

Dr Leonard Tachmes received his Bachelor of Science from Duke University. He then earned his MD from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia.

Fellowship and Residency Training

His surgical training included some of the most respected programmes in American medicine. He completed a fellowship in Plastic Surgery of the Breast and Reconstructive Microsurgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Memorial Sloan Kettering is one of the world’s leading institutions for surgical oncology and reconstruction.

Following this, he completed a residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Chicago Hospital. Earlier training included a general surgery residency at Brookdale Hospital Medical Center in New York. He also completed a surgical internship at Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, New York.

Together, these programmes gave him a foundation in core surgical disciplines that underpins his aesthetic work today.

05 - CREDENTIALS & ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTION

Board-certified. Academically published.

Dr Tachmes is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is additionally an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the principal professional body for board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States.

Beyond his clinical practice, he has contributed to the academic field as author or co-author of fourteen scientific research papers. These have been published across a range of medical and surgical journals.

He has practiced in Miami since 1994. Consequently, he brings more than three decades of experience across the full range of aesthetic surgery of the face and body to every patient he treats within the Eden network.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Surgical expertise refined over three decades

Dr Tachmes performs a full range of aesthetic procedures of the face, breast, and body. Moreover, he combines more than three decades of surgical experience with a commitment to natural, lasting results.

Breast Implant Revision

Revision surgery corrects or improves the results of previous breast surgery. It addresses concerns such as implant malposition, capsular contracture, rippling, or implant exchange. Dr Tachmes approaches every case individually. As a result, he achieves safe, natural, and lasting corrections for each patient.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty refreshes the area around the eyes by removing or repositioning excess skin and fat on the upper or lower lids. As a result, the procedure restores a more open, rested appearance while maintaining natural facial balance.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery corrects enlarged or overdeveloped male breast tissue. The procedure restores a flatter, firmer chest contour. Furthermore, every procedure is tailored to achieve natural-looking proportion and definition.

Facelift

A facelift addresses deeper signs of facial ageing, including sagging in the mid-face, jowls, and loss of jawline definition. However, the goal is to restore rather than change. The result is a fresher version of the patient’s own features.

Neck Lift

A neck lift targets loose skin, banding, and excess fat beneath the jaw and along the neck. As a result, the procedure restores a smoother, more defined neckline while maintaining natural facial harmony.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes localised pockets of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise. Therefore, it is an effective contouring procedure for patients who want to refine their shape. The goal is always balanced, natural-looking results.

Best decision I ever made. Dr. Tachmes took my case seriously when others dismissed my concerns. I had implant malposition for years and he corrected it in one surgery. The recovery was manageable and the results are stunning.

Outstanding surgeon. I had my implants revised after 12 years and he made them look completely natural. The office is small and personal - you actually get time with the doctor, not just staff.

Dr. Tachmes performed my breast revision after a terrible experience with another surgeon. He was thorough, honest, and the results exceeded my expectations. I drove 3 hours for every appointment and would do it again.

Symmastia corrected. For those who do not know how difficult this is to fix - Dr. Tachmes did it. One surgery. Healed beautifully. If you have a complicated revision case, he is the right choice.

Dr. Tachmes was kind, skilled, and genuinely invested in my outcome. He called me personally before and after surgery. My implant exchange went perfectly. I would trust no one else with a revision.

Dr. Tachmes is an amazing plastic surgeon. We talked about exactly what i wanted and he was amazing at listening to me and being able to provide the results! I had bracheoplasty along with breast implants and a lift. My breasts (six and a half years later) are still looking great! Exactly tear dropped shape. Thanks Doc Tach!!

Traveled from Atlanta for my revision. Worth every mile. Most surgeons I consulted with said my case was too complex — he did not. Results speak for themselves.

Had explant and lift. Very happy with the result. He talked me through every option and was not pushy. Took several weeks to fully appreciate but by 3 months I was thrilled.

Dr Tachmes is absolutely amazing!! After 10.5 years I was looking to explant. I went to many consultations before deciding on Dr. Tachmes. Dr. Tachmes listened to all of my wants, needs, and offered valuable input. He made me feel comfortable and confident. I'm almost 5 months out and couldn't be happier with the results.
