The Surgeon

A surgeon of precision, artistry & purpose.

Dr. Michael K. Newman is an award-winning, board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills specializing in cosmetic breast surgery, body contouring, facial rejuvenation, and the pioneering Forever Breast® procedure.

With over two decades of surgical experience, Dr. Newman combines the intellectual rigor of academic medicine — he is an Assistant Clinical Professor at UCLA — with the aesthetic sensitivity of a Beverly Hills boutique practice. His approach is defined by honest communication, meticulous surgical technique, and results that enhance rather than alter.

He earned his medical degree from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and completed a comprehensive six-year combined general and plastic surgery residency at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center (Medical College of Virginia). He then pursued a sought-after fellowship in breast and cosmetic surgery at Georgetown University Hospital under Dr. Scott Spear and Dr. Maurice Nahabedian — two of the most internationally respected breast surgeons in the world.

In 2007, Dr. Newman established his Beverly Hills practice, where he has performed thousands of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures. He currently serves as Chair of Plastic Surgery at Torrance Memorial Medical Center and maintains an active academic appointment training the next generation of plastic surgeons at UCLA.

How Dr. Newman
approaches every patient.

"An ideal plastic surgeon combines aesthetic vision and surgical technique to enhance the human form in a way that appears beautiful — and at the same time, very natural."
— Dr. Michael K. Newman, MD, FACS

Every consultation with Dr. Newman is a genuine conversation — not a sales pitch. He takes the time to listen, to understand what each patient is hoping to achieve, and to offer his honest medical opinion about what is possible and appropriate. His results speak for themselves: thousands of patients, 15+ years of annual recognition, and a reputation built entirely on word of mouth and trust.

01
Artistry
Natural results that complement the patient. Dr. Newman studies each individual's unique anatomy, proportions, and aesthetic goals — then creates a surgical plan that enhances rather than alters. Every result is designed to look like you, only better.
02
Precision
Fellowship-trained technique, meticulous attention to detail. Dr. Newman trained under two of the world's most respected breast surgeons at Georgetown University Hospital. His surgical approach reflects that level of rigorous, methodical care — applied to every case.
03
Trust
Honest consultations — no pressure, no scripts. Dr. Newman will tell you what he genuinely thinks is appropriate for you, and what he does not recommend. His goal is to earn your confidence through transparency, not to maximize procedures.

Giving Back

More than surgery —
a commitment
to survivors.

Dr. Newman serves on the Board of Directors of Evelyn's Breast Friends Forever and the Advisory Board of Rhonda's Kiss. He is passionate about ensuring that breast cancer survivors have access to natural reconstruction options — and that no patient faces that journey without support.

"Reconstructive plastic surgery is often the one positive dimension of their journey — it is a privilege to be a part of that process."

Through his advocacy work, Dr. Newman has helped connect hundreds of breast cancer survivors with the reconstructive care they need and deserve. He believes deeply that access to expert reconstruction is not a luxury — it is a right.
