Celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Leonard Hochstein purchased a waterfront home in Miami, amid his divorce from Real Housewives star Lisa Hochstein.
Hochstein, known as the “Boob God,” bought the 2,900-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bathroom home at 1161 Belle Meade Island Drive in Miami through a family trust. Property records show an entity led by Haitian American fashion designer Kerby Jean-Raymond sold the house for $6.8 million.
The Belle Meade property sold at a loss. The Jean-Raymond-led LLC paid $7.5 million for the house in April 2022.
Hochstein, who goes by Lenny, has been going through a highly publicized divorce from Lisa Hochstein, who recently moved from their Star Island mansion to a luxury condo she is renting in South Beach. The divorce was a prominent storyline in the last season of “The Real Housewives of Miami.” Although the divorce is not yet final, he is now engaged to model Katharina Mazepa.
Hochstein paid $2 million for the home at 42 Star Island Drive in 2012. The couple tore down the previous house to build the three-story, 18,000-square-foot mansion that exists today.
Hochstein said he is working on plans to build a “beautiful home” on the property as an investment. He said he is happy with his Star Island mansion.
“I’m always looking at opportunities to buy something special and I think this property is special,” he said. “Anytime I can get almost 120 feet of water frontage on a wide bay — there are not too many places like that.”

The Belle Meade property features 116 feet of open bay water frontage, according to the listing. It was on the market with Compass agents Ben Moss and Michelle Northern. Moss declined to comment.
The single-story house was built in 1956 on a 0.4-acre lot and has a pool and dock, according to the listing, which offers it as a possible redevelopment property.
Home prices in Belle Meade have increased dramatically in recent years. This month, Tom Cruz, a real estate investor-influencer who made his wealth in Section 8 housing, spent $17.8 million for the nearby waterfront mansion at 1125 Belle Meade Island Drive, setting a neighborhood record.
