Elizabeth Kiwanuka, MD, PhD

Amazing experience. Took time to discuss options and did not push or try to sell any procedures. Made a plan to best meet my goals that were in my budget. She demonstrated knowledge and empathy, leaving me feeling comfortable and confident in the procedure.

My experience with Dr K was incredible. I am 6 months post-op now, and her and her team were amazing throughout the entire process — always kind and fast to respond. My reduction looks far better than I ever could have imagined, and I feel so happy and confident in my results. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reduction

Dr K. really listened to my expectations. I was afraid going in to my breast reduction that the surgeon would think they knew what I wanted for my results. Dr K considered my goals and lifestyle and my results are amazing. I'm running with one sports bra! Life changing. Thank you.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Dr. Elizabeth Kiwanuka! From start to finish, Dr. Kiwanuka was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely caring about my needs. She took the time to fully understand my goals and worked tirelessly to ensure I was completely satisfied every step of the way. The attention to detail was exceptional, and the results exceeded my expectations in every way. What truly sets her apart is her commitment to client satisfaction—it's not just about completing the job; it's about delivering quality work while making sure the client feels valued throughout the process. I felt supported and well-informed at every stage, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. If you’re looking for top-notch service from someone who genuinely cares about your needs and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Dr. Elizabeth Kiwanuka. You won’t be disappointed

I've been to Dr. Kiwanuka twice now - once for baby botox and more recently, for cheek fillers. I had never gotten botox before and Dr. Kiwanuka did a wonderful job answering any questions or concerns that I had. She was personable, kind, and very knowledgeable. The procedure was quick and pain-free, and I was very pleased with the results, which lasted for over 6 months. I decided to return for cheek fillers a few months ago, in hopes of reducing smile lines on my face, and have been very happy with the results, once again. Unlike some other doctors, Dr. Kiwanuka makes sure that her patients look natural and don't overdo any unnecessary procedures. I highly trust her and would recommend her to all of my friends looking for natural beauty enhancements in NYC.

I chose Dr. K to do my top surgery because I was frankly overwhelmed by the process but the team at Breast Surgery group were absolutely experts. They respected my name even when I changed it post surgery, using the correct pronouns. Dr. K is very friendly and knowledgeable so I felt confident that she could deliver the results I wanted. My results went above and beyond as I have slowly regained feeling in my nipples, something I wasn’t sure I’d ever have again. The team is easy to reach and provided me with an abundance of guides, information and resources. With the help of my mental health provider (and a template letter from Dr.K’s team) my scheduling was quick and easy.

A little over 6 months ago, I completed top surgery with Dr. Kiwanuka and her team. It was honestly a fantastic experience. I was super nervous and worried about costs, but her whole team were kind, considerate, and professional and a huge help navigating insurance and getting reference letters from doctors. It was easy to schedule and the turnaround time was much faster than with other doctors I met with. Day of surgery was also great. Everyone was top notch. Follow up was clear. There were no issues with the surgery itself, and the results have been life changing. Really happy I was able to have my top surgery with Dr. Kiwanuka.

Dr Kiwanuka and her entire team were a dream to work with. I felt listened to and respected throughout the entire process. Since I was interested in a gender affirming radical breast reduction (vs top surgery), I knew I needed to find someone who would work with me on every step of the process to help me realize the goal I had in my head. Dr Kiwanuka asked lots of questions, encouraged me to bring in photos to discuss what I needed to achieve in surgery (sensory, dysphoria, aesthetics, etc). I've never felt so listened to and understood by a medical professional, and it was truly a positive experience from the get-go. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Kiwanuka and her team. You will be in such good hands.

Dr. Kiwanuka is a great option for top surgery/gender affirming care. She will answer any and all your questions, she has a very strong grasp on the technical aspects of surgery and what that will result in during recovery. Also she has really helped me understand what is happening under my skin as my nerves heal and regrow.

I had periareolar top surgery with Dr. Kiwanuka. Dr. Kiwanuka and her team are very thorough, helpful, and easy to communicate with. I felt very reassured and prepared under their care. Dr. Kiwanuka also has a very reassuring medical background including research directly related to wound healing and tissue repair/engineering. She/her office use a Rapid Recovery protocol, including nerve block, which was another factor in why I went to her for surgery as I was very nervous about being prescribed any major pain medication. Between the nerve block and over-the-counter pain medication, I felt 0 pain-- it was/is very bizarre! I was a little sore and at times could feel my chest getting sensation back, but never felt more than discomfort. I'm currently five days post-op and stopped taking pain medication on day 4, for reference. I highly recommend Dr. Kiwanuka!
