Dr. Mariam Awada: A Force for Women’s Health and Detroit’s Resilience
Dr. Mariam Awada is a true Detroit powerhouse—embodying the city’s grit, grace, and relentless drive to uplift others. A first-generation Detroiter, she graduated at the top of her class from Wayne State University School of Medicine before shattering barriers as the first woman to complete the world-renowned Integrated Plastic Surgery Program at the University of Texas Southwestern.
A nationally recognized advocate for women’s health, Dr. Awada has represented both physicians and patients in leadership roles at the AMA and global health forums, championing equality, access, and innovation. With advanced certifications from MIT in artificial intelligence, blockchain, and technology innovation, she brings visionary thinking to medicine—shaping systems that align with World Health Organization standards for global safety and care.
Fueled by empathy and guided by science, Dr. Awada is igniting a worldwide movement to confront the greatest silent health crises of our time—the neglect of menopause care. For too long, 53 million American women have been left unheard, under-researched, and underserved. Through her forthcoming works, The Menopause Apothecary and 53 Million and Zero Plan, she unveils a groundbreaking roadmap to restore women’s vitality, close critical research gaps, and reclaim the $285 billion lost each in the US each year to neglect. Her mission reaches beyond medicine—to empower one billion women worldwide, restoring not only wellness, but dignity, strength, and voice to a generation ready to rise.
For over 25 years, through her renowned Michigan Cosmetic Surgery practice, Dr. Awada has elevated lives with artistry, regenerative science, and an uncompromising commitment to safety. Honored by Newsweek as one of America’s Top Plastic Surgeons and ranked #1 in Michigan for more than a decade, she exemplifies excellence, compassion, and Detroit’s unstoppable resilience—proving that when women lead with heart and courage, the world changes.
