Exclusive: A documentary about a controversial plastic surgeon known for live streaming procedures on social media is headed to Discovery+.
The fledgling streamer has acquired They Call Me Dr. Miami, directed by Jean-Simon Chartier (Playing Hard) from Cargo Film & Releasing and will launch it on February 11.
Originally produced for Canadian public broadcaster CBC, the film tells the story of Dr. Miami a.k.a. Dr. Michael Salzhauer. It explores how Salzhauer became one of the most controversial and famous plastic surgeons in the U.S. while also being a devoted husband, a father of five, and a conservative Orthodox Jew.

Variety can exclusively reveal the trailer for “Playing Hard” director Jean-Simon Chartier’s feature documentary “They Call Me Dr. Miami,” which is being shopped to buyers at the Efm this week.
Commissioned by Documentary Channel and set to bow at the Miami International Film Festival next month, the film follows Dr. Michael Salzhauer — also known as Dr. Miami — who is one of the most famous plastic surgeons in the U.S., and the first doctor to livestream graphic procedures such as tummy tucks and breast augmentations on Snapchat, where he has more than two million followers.
With a two-year patient waiting list, the film examines how Salzhauer grapples with the reality of selfie culture, backlash to his controversial videos and his status as a social media superstar, all while balancing his roles as a father of five, and a conservative Orthodox Jew who observes the Sabbath.

It's a collab made in pop culture heaven! Famed plastic surgeon Dr. Miami is the man behind some of the hottest bodies on reality TV — but he's not just a doctor, he's a rapper too! Dr. Miami (real name: Michael Salzhauer) just released his new track with Adam Barta, Reina, and Love & Hip Hop: New York star Mariahlynn called "Peep Me Tonight." In a statement provided to Ok Magazine, Dr. Miami revealed that he wanted to work with Adam again after their previous collaboration ended up with their successful hit "Flawless." He wanted to followup his debut single — which peaked at No. 24 on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart — with another banger, so he decided to ask his pal and hip hop star Mariahlynn to do a spot on the track. "I met Mariahlynn from Lhhny and she mentioned that she was considering plastic surgery," Dr. Miami told Ok.

Jan. 17, 2016, was a transformational day for the women of MTV's Teen Mom franchise. Three of those reality stars — Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry and (http://www.intouchweekly.com/tags/teen-mom-3-11946) sisters Briana DeJesus and Brittany DeJesus — all went under the scalpel that day in Miami for plastic surgery procedures. And luckily for curious fans, their surgeon spilled all the details. "Kailyn had a Brazilian butt lift and a tummy tuck," Dr. Michael Salzhauer aka Dr. Miami told People. "Briana had the Brazilian butt lift, labiaplasty, and breast implant exchange — she had implants, and she wasn't happy with them, so she went a bit bigger. And Brittany had a Brazilian butt lift and fat transfer to the breasts. She didn't want implants. She wanted a more natural augmentation." (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Apparently, Brittany approached the doc first, and when Kailyn contacted him later, he scheduled all three...
