Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation?
+
You are likely a good candidate if you are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are dissatisfied with the size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts. Ideal candidates are not planning a pregnancy in the near future, as pregnancy can alter results. During your consultation, Dr. Newman evaluates your anatomy, health history, and goals to create a plan tailored specifically to you.
What is the difference between a breast augmentation and a breast lift?
+
Breast augmentation adds volume using implants or fat transfer. A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and elevates the breast without necessarily adding volume — it removes excess skin and repositions the nipple. Many patients benefit from both. The right choice depends on your degree of sagging (ptosis) and your goals. Dr. Newman will assess your anatomy and clearly explain which procedure — or combination — will deliver the result you envision.
What is the Forever Breast® procedure and who is it for?
+
The Forever Breast® is Dr. Newman's signature fat-transfer technique for breast augmentation and reconstruction — no implants, no foreign material, no future replacement. Fat is harvested from donor areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs) via liposuction and transferred to the breasts. The fat is permanent and changes naturally with your body. It's ideal for women who want a modest, natural-looking increase without implants, or for breast cancer survivors seeking implant-free reconstruction after mastectomy.
Who is the right candidate for a tummy tuck?
+
The ideal tummy tuck candidate is near their goal weight, has loose or excess abdominal skin that diet and exercise cannot address, and ideally has completed their family. The procedure can also repair diastasis recti — the separation of abdominal muscles that commonly occurs after pregnancy. It is not a weight loss procedure, but a body contouring procedure that delivers dramatic, lasting results when the patient is at a stable weight.
How do I choose the right plastic surgeon?
+
Start with board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) — the gold standard, not to be confused with cosmetic surgery board certifications. Beyond that, look for fellowship training in your specific area of concern, a portfolio of before/after results that reflects your desired aesthetic, and a surgeon who listens and communicates clearly during the consultation. Dr. Newman's approach is consultative, not a sales pitch — he will tell you honestly when a procedure is the right choice and when it isn't.
Is financing available for plastic surgery?
+
Yes. Dr. Newman's office works with CareCredit and other healthcare financing providers that offer low or no-interest payment plans. Financing allows many patients to undergo the procedure they want without delaying their goals. During your consultation, our patient coordinator can walk you through financing options that fit your situation.
