I can not say enough good things about Dr. Michael K. Newman! I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer in November and had to digest the earth shattering news that I was going to lose my breasts at 37. Dr. Newman came highly recommended as a seasoned reconstructive surgeon and it showed. First he put me at ease by showing me a myriad of photos of bi-lateral mastectomy success stories and reassured me that he would do his very best to make sure I had a similar result. He made sure I was comfortable and well informed throughout the entire process from pre-op to day-of to post-op check ups. 6 months later I am blown away with my "makeover!" My breasts are easily more beautiful than they were before. He was able to salvage my nipples and create a beautiful shape. They are so perky! All my friends are jealous and my fiancee is an equally happy customer. ;0) Best news yet, I'm currently cancer free and am working hard to stay that way. Thank you Dr. Newman!

Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis was devastating. I wasn’t even 40 yet, was in a new relationship, and had no immediate family that lived in the same state for support. I spent the first few days frantically searching for doctors. Despite the alcohol and crying fits, this was a very thorough search. I read through testimonials, called offices, and visited potential doctors. What I didn’t know before the diagnosis is that good doctors tag team. This means, if you find a Surgical Oncologist you trust, that Surgical Oncologist has a go-to Plastic Surgeon that they trust as well. The first surgery (double mastectomy), if you decide to go with expanders and later implants, is done in two parts. The first half, the Surgical Oncologists removes your breast tissue, tumor(s), and nipples if you had to have them removed. The second half belongs to the Plastic Surgeon who inserts the expanders. The next few months, you’re under his or her care, and depending on what you choose for your body, t

My wife had a bilateral mastectomy 2 years ago and Dr. Newman did a perfect job in the reconstruction. She looks and feels great due to his attention to detail and unbelievable skill set. She looks incredible both dressed and undressed and no one can tell she even had surgery. Dr. Newman was patient, caring and understanding both before and after the procedure which made the process a little easier. We would highly recommend him to family and friends!

Dr. Newman is the best!! He is very friendly, easy to talk to, makes sure you are comfortable with the plans and explains everything throughly. He uses his knowledge and experience so that you will have the best outcome possible. I could not be happier with how it all turned out. After going through the hell that is cancer, chemo, radiation and multiple surgeries you can lose a piece of yourself with all the changes your body goes through. Dr Newman helped give me my confidence back.

Not enough space here to talk about what a wonderful experience I had and how lucky I was to find Dr Newman. It's been a year of my mommy makeover and I love my body!!! I look better than I did before even having kids. My tummy is flat, breasts are back where they belong and love handles are gone. Thank you, thank you Dr Newman and his amazing staff! If you are looking for a caring, professional and perfectionist surgeon look no further, you have found the right guy.

I cannot thank Dr. Newman and his wonderful staff enough for the amazing results from breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy. Dr. Newman is everything one would hope for in a doctor...kind, calm, answers any and all questions, and above all, his work is second to none. If you are looking for a top notch plastic surgeon in the South Bay, look no further.

I will be forever grateful to Dr. Newman for the amazing job he did with my reconstructive surgery. His sweet and calm demeanor made a challenging situation, much easier. He always took his time to answer all my questions and address my concerns. I was given realistic expectations regarding the surgery, but then he delivered above and beyond with amazing results. The surgery was much easer than I had imagined, with only minimal (well managed) discomfort. Afterwards a recovery room nurse told me

Dr. Newman did my reconstructive surgery after a double mastectomy for breast cancer. He is incredibly kind and an extremely good listener. He is intelligent and has great wisdom in his field as well as other medical disciplines. I believe he does not settle for anything that is not in the best interest of the patient. My results were excellent. If you need any kind of plastic surgery, I would highly recommend him. The office environment is bright and upbeat. The staff is great.

Dr. Michael K. Newman is without question one of the most technically brilliant, personally kind and humanly approachable plastic surgeons working today. Online reviews that overflow with superlatives tend to bring out the skeptic in me. And yet here I am, hoping you the reader, will carefully consider mine. I had a challenging surgery and an A+ result. I urge you to simply research your options. Then make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Michael Newman. See for yourself.

I was so fortunate to have Dr. Newman as my reconstructive surgeon as I dealt with the unexpected diagnosis of breast cancer. Dr. Newman is a great doctor. He does amazing work and makes a very difficult situation easy to get through. Everyone who heard that he was my doctor would say to me, "oh, you're so lucky!" I would highly recommend Dr. Newman to anyone for reconstructive and/or plastic surgery. He really is the best.

I went to see Dr. Newman for a breast reduction, lift, and nipple repair. Initially, I was very embarrassed but Dr Newman was very professional and made me feel comfortable and at ease quickly. His smile, sense of humor, and his ability to make you feel at ease was such a wonderful experience. He is patient and goes well beyond to ensure you understand the procedure. Also, his post-op care was exceptional . I could not not be happier with my results. It was a great experience.

I could not be more pleased with my revision procedure performed by Dr. Michael Newman. My result is everything I had hoped for. The entire staff at SBPS is professional, helpful and courteous. My only caveat to a perfect review is their use of the Surgery Center of South Bay where I was treated abruptly pre-op by the nurse on duty and hustled out post-op without instructions when my husband picked me up. The practice will be opening its own surgical center center soon. Grade:A

Dr. Newman spent time to answer all my questions. He provided pictures, drawings and even provided sample implants so that I could see how they would look. He was very attentive and patient. The results from my lift and implants are wonderful. Even the surgical staff recommended him, which was re-assuring. He has a great sense on humor which put me at ease, yet is very professional. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

After my second child, I started researching doctors in preparation for a breast augmentation & possible breast lift. I went to 4 different doctors, all of whom were recommended to me by friends, family or colleagues. I chose Doctor Newman because of all the doctors I consulted with, he was the one that I felt had MY best interest in mind at all times. He went above & beyond to make me feel comfortable with the entire process + great results! He is an amazing surgeon & has a wonderful staff.
