Meet Dr. Awada

Gracious. Good-natured. Great with a scalpel. One finds these admirable qualities and a great deal more in Dr. Mariam Awada, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. An accomplished leader in her field, she is also an individual of depth and extraordinary dedication who can re-implant a child's leg and throw a Botox party, all in a day's work.

Dr. Awada's years of rigorous training began as a presidential scholar at Wayne State University where she completed a double major in chemistry and biology. She graduated from Wayne State University School of Medicine with distinction and was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha National Medical Honor Society in recognition of her demonstrated skill and commitment to excellence. Dr. Awada went on to become one of the first women to complete an integrated General and Plastic Surgery Residency at the internationally renowned University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. There she trained with many of the preeminent plastic surgeons in the world, mastering time tested techniques while developing new cutting-edge procedures.

As an authority in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Awada has been featured on CNN, MSNBC and FOX, discussing her breast enhancement and total body contouring techniques. She has published several articles in distinguished medical journals and is a contributing author to the national Skin Deep magazine. As an educator, she serves as a Clinical Instructor of Plastic Surgery and is a vocal advocate for patient education, safety, and satisfaction.

Dr. Awada's credentials and exquisite attention to detail are only exceeded by the genuine concern she maintains for every patient. Her patients are moved by her individualized attention and compassion, and are comforted by her shared feminine perspective. Her impeccable reputation and natural ability to establish meaningful relationships with her patients have contributed to her growing national recognition.

World Class Facility

Our surgery center is accredited by the American Association of Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF). AAAASF is a not-for-profit association devoted to a voluntary inspection and accreditation program for qualifying ambulatory plastic surgery facilities. Accreditation by the AAAASF certifies that a facility has met the rigorous standards developed by the AAAASF for patient care, quality, and safety.

When planning surgery at any facility, you should ask if the facility is accredited. Accreditation can be an indication of the quality of the facility operation. Michigan Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery has passed the strict guidelines for equipment, staff, hospital access, anesthesia administration and also requires that the doctor performing surgery at the facility has privileges to perform the same procedures at an accredited hospital.

With patient safety as our paramount goal, Michigan Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery center will provide an unmatched experience for all the patients who choose to use our services.

Preparing For Your Consultation

Consultation with Dr. Awada is by appointment only. Our phone number is 248-948-5500.
Business hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m-5 p.m.
Our office is located at 29110 Inkster Rd, Suite 250 Southfield, MI. 48034

Your first visit: Please bring a list of your current prescriptions, amounts and dosages. Be sure to include diet pills, aspirin, herbs and supplements. No surgery will be performed on your first visit; the consultation is very important. Extra time is scheduled to allow for the required forms and for Dr. Awada and her staff to evaluate your detailed history and perform an examination. It takes time to get to know you well enough to understand and evaluate your needs. Then Dr. Awada will explain the options and procedures and answer your questions as we work out a program for you.

Due to the amount of information that we cover, bringing children usually distracts you from the full benefit of the consultation.

At your initial consultation another visit might be scheduled, giving you the additional opportunity to ask questions and clarify anything you may not understand. Plan to be seen after your surgery. Postoperative visits (care directly related to surgery) are included in the surgical fee. Surgery is done on an outpatient basis, and you can return to the comfort of your home once you are awake and stable. You MUST HAVE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT care for you the first night.

As you think about planning for the surgery, please think about who will care for you, how to take time away from your usual duties, travel plans, and bring your appointment calendar. For example, with a breast augmentation, it takes about 4 weeks until you are able to lift 5- 10 pounds (even your infant can exceed that).
