Michael K Newman, MD, FACS

I never thought that I’d ever be someone that would want plastic surgery. That is, until I had 2 kids and breastfed both kids for a total of 3 years. I was a B cup before kids, and after I was done breastfeeding my youngest, I was a tiny AA. I could no longer fill out my bras, bathing suit tops, and fitted dresses. I was feeling pretty down about myself when I decided to look into getting a breast augmentation. None of my friends had gotten the procedure done, so I didn’t have any plastic surgeon recommendations. Therefore, I turned to Unilocal and that’s how I found Dr. Newman. From the moment I met him, he and his staff made me feel comfortable. He’s really easy to talk to, and doesn’t rush through the appointment like some doctors tend to do. After a couple consultations with Dr. Newman, I decided on getting a new type of implant called the Ideal Implant. The Ideal Implant is a saline-​filled implant with an outer-​shell structure that has a similar feeling as a silicone implant. Dr. Newman is one of the few plastic surgeons in the nation that has access to these implants. In fact, I was told that I’d be his first patient with the new implants. That fact in itself was a bit nerve wracking, but I trusted him enough that I was willing to be his test guinea pig. The surgery went smoothly, and the recovery was not as bad as I thought it would be. It’s been 3 months since my surgery, and I love my new breasts! I can’t thank Dr. Newman enough for the amazing job he’s done, and for boosting my self confidence. I recommend him 100 percent.

After a long time of research, I decide to give a try in the SBPS Center with Dr. Newman for my up blepharoplasty and breast implant replacement procedure.
I was so nerves about the result because I had a bad prior experience with some other Plastic surgeon. From the first consultation through post operation care several visits, Dr. Newman was very patient and carefully listening what I want. We discussed every detail during three times appointments. Dr. Newman was very patiently answering my questions with honest manner. His confident and artistic perspectives made me feel safe and trustworthy. He is very profession but has a good sense of humor which creates a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
My procedure was on Nov 12 it just has done a month ago. My up eyelids look very naturel and hardly notice the incision. Even though my breasts are still a little bit swollen and a hint of pain but the result is amazing. It has archived my expectation and I believe after I getting full recovered the outcome will even better.
Compare to the photos taken prior my procedure, I like myself very much now.
I feel confident, younger and prettier. Dr. Newman is a beauty creator.
All staffs in Dr. Newman office are very nice and polite. His assistant, Yvette was very helpful. She gave me very good suggestion and support. The medical assistant was very professional and her behavior was very calm and gentle.
I definitely recommend Dr. New as your plastic surgeon. His skills, his artistic eyes, his professional manners are all the best. Plus, the price is reasonable too.
Thank you Dr. Newman! I really appreciate your excellent work!

Dr. Newman is amazing! From his bedside manner to the personal attention and follow-​up, working with Dr. Newman and his staff is always a pleasure. Not only is Dr. Newman and his staff the friendliest but you truly feel they care about you and your wants. They don’t try to push an agenda or things you don’t need. I had a wonderful experience and would recommend Dr. Newman to anyone.

Dr. Newman is a wonderful surgeon and a great person overall. If you are considering surgery I would highly recommend him. I had the best experience possible before, during, and after.

Dr. Newman is not only a miracle worker but the nicest guy you will ever meet. I knew as soon as I met him that I wanted him to do my surgery no matter what the cost would’ve been — to my surprise his price was unreal for the quality of work so I literally begged to try to schedule my appointment ASAP, they worked things out and had me scheduled within a month. Literally the best decision I have ever made… I am in love with my breasts. And he worked some serious magic because my before breasts are AWFUL — I nursed for 17 months and then stopped and went from a full DD to not even an A, it was horrible. I am now a DD in Victoria’s Secret and I couldn’t be happier. I would go to him a million more times for any type of surgery. I love him.

Writing a five star review on my experience with Dr. Newman is easier than buttering toast! I knew when he first walked into the office, that my mind was made up. Both my sister & I had our consultation together & he was so patience & knowledgable about what we as individuals needed. Never did I feel rushed or pressured. I felt like I was talking to a great friend that truly had my best interests in mind. His staff was great too! He never sugar coated things, he was upfront & honest about risks & the rewards. My surgery was 2 and a half years ago & I couldn’t be happier! I’ve sent my two best friends, my Aunt & others… They have NOTHING but high praises! We’ve been Newmanized & I only hope for your continued success!

I would give Dr Newman 1000 stars if I could. He has truly changed my life. He Just truly cares about his patients and has the best bed side manor of any Dr I’ve ever met.
I normally put down my procedures from being done and this one in particular i put it off for 5 years as I was too afraid. Dr Newman made all of my fears go away and his work was perfection.
My recovery was faster than expected and he was right there for me, even over the holidays. I look and feel better than I ever have in my entire life. Thank you Dr Newman!

I highly recommend Dr. Newman. I went to him for advice for my aging skin (brown spots, wrinkles, etc.).
Without invasive surgery, he suggested an all encompassing treatment (skin care, Botox and filler). The results are amazing-​healthy beautiful skin that looks a dozen years younger than my actual age.
I have received so many compliments and I am thrilled with the outcome and so are my husband and my children.

Dr. Newman is the 3^rd surgeon I have seen to take care of a lipoma — which really isn’t that big of a deal. Because of its size, I have to have it done in a surgical setting and that is what has been preventing me from having it done. I have had two consults with a plastic surgeon, one at UCLA and the other in West LA. I saw Dr. Newman at the request of a friend who said he is a very gentle and compassionate doctor. I am completely fearful and have major anxiety for anything to do with the hospital. Everyone, from the time you walk in, is very friendly and helpful. I saw Dr. Newman, who squeezed me into an appt. He took his time and never made me feel like I was squeezed into the appt. After we talked about options for removal, he asked if I had any other questions or concerns, which I did and he thoughtfully and carefully answered all my questions. By the end of the appt, I wasn’t fearful and I felt confident and booked my surgery date. I have been attempting to have this removed for over a year now so I am really happy to move forward with the removal because it is causing a lot of discomfort due to its location. To me, what set Dr. Newman apart from the other surgeons was his bedside manner. He is very gentle and I felt like he completely understood my fear without me having to say anything about it. He looks at you when you are talking, he doesn’t interrupt or start shaking his head while you are talking — he was very polite and kind and has a very calm energy.

I can’t recommend Dr Newman highly enough. The procedure was precise and his bedside manner was soothing. He is the best.

Best of the best! Hands down! I researched doctors for four years all over Beverly Hills before finding the Diamond in the rough Dr. Newman. I was scared to have an elective surgery, I’m a mother of 3, I feared that something terrible could happen. I desperately wanted the mommy makeover. I have had several physicians recommend him to me. I love that he is the Doctor’s doctor. He is so well respected in his field among his colleagues. I knew I was in the best hands! He was very empathetic to my fears and answered all my million questions so kindly. I never felt rushed! I had the mommy makeover which included a breast augmentation and tummy tuck. My results are INCREDIBLE!!! I look better now after 3 kids than I did before! Super natural results, better than I expected! I LOVE the way I look and feel, my confidence is through the roof!

Dr. Newman did a flawless job on my surgery. From the first appointment to post-​opp, he made sure I felt at ease and comfortable the entire time. Every review is true — he is the absolute best in the business! Cannot thank him enough!

Dr. Newman did my breast augmentation last summer. He is very knowledgeable and he knows the limitations for your body that you may not be aware of. He specializes in mommies and that is my case. I had a son so my breasts were stretched out. He knew exactly what I wanted. My boobs look awesome if I say so myself. I am so happy with the results both physically and mentally. I am glad I went to a doctor who cared about my happiness and the results rather than a paycheck.

I had Dr. Newman perform liposuction of my belly and back area. He was the consummate professional and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He really cares about the patient and the goals you are hoping to achieve. You never feel like you are being «sold». Dr. Newman wants to make sure you are happy and gives realistic expectations of the results.

After all the plastic surgeons I visited, I finally decided on Dr. Newman. He is by far the most knowledgeable, professional plastic surgeon I have met with.
He gave me the best outcome I could have asked for with a breast lift and augmentation. The look I have is so natural that most people have no idea I had my boobs done. He is an absolute perfectionist. I couldn’t be happier with my results!

Dr. Newman has been my reconstructive surgeon during this past year following a bilateral mastectomy in December of 2012. I feel very fortunate to have found him and his staff at South Bay Plastic Surgeons. In my experience, it is rare to find a doctor who is skilled in his/​her profession and also have a good bedside manner. Dr. Newman is not only an excellent surgeon, he is genuinely kind and compassionate. He has a calm demeanor and he listens thoroughly to your needs and concerns. Dr. Newman is truly special and I recommend him highly. I plan to remain a patient of SBPS for many years to come!
