Experience the Revive Difference

Miami offers many options for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Revive Surgical Institute, led by Dr. Morad Askari and his team, centers care on safety, outcomes and a patient-first culture.

When Dr. Morad Askari and his wife, pharmacist and nutritionist Hoda Askari, first considered opening their own plastic surgery practice, Coral Gables felt like the natural fit. The city is their home, and it’s where they spend most of their free time.

In 2025, Dr. Askari was recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons. He was also specifically honored as America’s Best Tummy Tuck Plastic Surgeon in 2025.

“Loving the rich history and beautiful community, we couldn’t think of a better place for our practice,” says Dr. Askari. “We found this charming building with a Mediterranean design in the heart of Coral Gables that we fell in love with. We decided to start and grow our practice here. We built the interior to support both surgical and medical spa services.”

Dr. Askari had already spent years working in health care and was well regarded in the surgical community. Similarly, his wife had over 10 years of experience working in the South Florida health care system. This made opening Revive Surgical Institute the perfect fit for the couple.

Patient-First Care

From the front desk to the exam room, patients report feeling seen and thoroughly evaluated. “There’s one common trend,” Dr. Askari says. “Patients feel valued, receive a comprehensive assessment and leave with a clear plan for surgical and nonsurgical care.”

At Revive Surgical Institute, their devotion to the patient is matched by a staff whose experience and professionalism are unparalleled in the industry. “Our entire clinical and surgical team have extensive hospital experience,” says Hoda. “Our surgical coordinators have all served for many years in the health care industry and bring a vast knowledge and understanding of efficient processes and procedures. They have been hand selected for their ability to be patient-centered. Their skill sets and patient friendliness create the magic for an excellent patient experience and high-quality outcomes.”

State-of-the-Art Services

Whether you’re seeking cosmetic or reconstructive care, Dr. Askari and the Revive team offer a full range of options. Services include comprehensive body contouring (liposuction, tummy tucks, body lifts, mommy makeovers); breast aesthetics and post-cancer reconstruction; facial plastic surgery (rhinoplasty, eyelid and facelift procedures); hand care; scar management and skin cancer treatment; plus a full menu of nonsurgical treatments (injectables, lasers, weight loss) — all delivered by an experienced, accredited team. Revive also offers on-site podiatry for foot and ankle care.

In particular, Revive Surgical Institute focuses on helping patients look and feel their best after significant weight loss. “Following the surge of weight loss medications, our focus has become body contouring and facelifts associated with massive weight loss,” says Hoda. “After massive weight loss, patients often have skin laxity in multiple dimensions and different parts of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, breasts, arms and thighs. We have a state-of-the-art surgery center equipped with the latest technology in plastic surgery, certified not only by the Florida Department of Health but also by the AAASF, which is a national accreditation agency overseeing the safety and quality of outpatient surgery centers around the nation. This, combined with our highly skilled team of anesthesiologists, nurses and Dr. Askari’s 15 years of experience in plastic and reconstructive plastic surgery create the setting for the highest-quality outcomes possible.”

Award-Winning Outcomes

Combine Revive’s patient-first approach, comprehensive services and dedication to consistent quality and it’s easy to see why Revive Surgical Institute earns national recognition in plastic and reconstructive surgery. In 2025, Dr. Askari was recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons. He was also specifically honored as America’s Best Tummy Tuck Plastic Surgeon in 2025. This prestigious honor not only is a testament to Dr. Askari’s dedication to his patients but also reflects their trust and outcomes.

Expanded Expertise

As Dr. Askari’s reputation — and Revive Surgical Institute’s — has grown, so has the practice. Revive is thrilled to announce the addition of triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. David Gerth to their already impressive team. “I had the privilege of taking part in training Dr. Gerth over 10 years ago during my tenure as an attending surgeon at the University of Miami,” says Dr. Askari. “This is where I gained confidence in his surgical skills and am now excited and proud to have him join my practice in building an unstoppable force together in providing quality and safe plastic surgery services to our community and beyond.”
