Dr. Newman is a perfectionist simply put. I am 7...
Dr. Newman is a perfectionist simply put. I am 7 weeks post op and really understanding just how careful and gentle his procedure was to my body after reviewing so many images on this website. I had no bruising on my breast or stomach, not to say that would be abnormal, but I was impressed by this fact. Dr. Newman takes every possible precaution to ensure safe and happy results. I have had weekly post op checkups up until today , which now I have been cleared to come back in two months. If am even slightly concerned, he will fit me in to have a look to rest my mind and his. I think he's as conservative as I am when it comes to my body. This is the first surgery I've had, making me a bit overly cautious I suppose, but that's also his style as a doctor.
His staff is friendly and well organized. His office has an operating room which I also appreciated as I was not exposed to sick people.
I would definitely recommend him and would go back to him for any future surgery needs. His reputation clearly matters to him and the results are seen in his work. The only reason that I put "unsure" if the surgery was worth it, I'm still healing and while that is going really well, I'm not 100% just yet but well on my way. I am far happier with how I look than prior to my surgery and look forward to being fully recovered and back to my full yoga routine, which he cleared me today to start back to (YES!!!).
I will upload before and after pictures soon.
I had saline implants, lift and mini tummy tuck.

43 year old, sagging, deflated breast with slight flab on lower stomach
I had my son at the ripe age of 19 years old. I've always considered myself to be in shape and mindful of my figure but no amount of working out would fix my breast or stomach and my breast were getting worse with age.
Fast forward into my 20's, 30's and 40's, my breast were still obviously sagging and deflated. I've been a very active yogi and a naturalist for the last 8 years or so. I'm 5'6 and weigh 115 pounds on a good day. I eat organic, don't wear makeup daily and am mindful of everything I put on my skin and into my mouth. Getting a "boob job" was something I was on the fence about because I just wasn't sure that I really wanted to stick a foreign object into my body and safety was also an issue, but I did want to have my damaged skin look better. I'm not the girl that wants to show off her breast at all. In fact, I don't want attention drawn to me. I simply wanted to fill out my swimsuit, bras and have my chest match the rest of my body that I had given so much positive attention to. Bras with underwires were not working, my breast would fall out of them as I had no upper pole tissue to fill them out. I had resorted to wearing a sports bra around the clock and even those my breast would try and sneak below. The last straw was months before surgery I was at the beach and in down dog (yoga pose) and my breast fell out of my swimsuit. Horrified!
After seeing Dr. David Newman, it was decided that I needed a lift along with implants. We discussed what size would look most natural for my body, which while small, I do have broad shoulders and curvy hips. It was decided a full C would be the goal. I opted for saline implants for safety reasons after much thought. Dr. Newman place them under the muscle and overfilled to hopefully avoid the chance of rippling. It should be known that I have fibroid cystic breast and made him aware of this. He ordered a mammogram prior to my surgery along with plenty of blood work. He assured me the implants would not be a problem with my fibroids cyst.
During my 2nd consultation he said he could improve my slight extra skin with a mini tummy tuck but I still may have a bit of flab. I am not quite sure if I will or not as my body has not quite absorbed the extra fluid but it is going away. I thought it over for the next week and decided that as I had the surgery room booked, it would not only be cost effective but also good to do at the same time as the lift and BA so that I could get the healing done and get back on my yoga and work life. I am self employed and was able to prepare a bit beforehand with the help of my husband to enjoy a nice recovery time.
Now here I am 7 weeks post op. Every day things are getting better. I did not have any bruising on my stomach or my breast and only had a drain on my belly for a few days, maybe a week at most, that time period is a bit foggy. I am highly sensitive to pain and discussed this with Dr. Newman beforehand. My pain tolerance to put it frankly is low so I did take the pain medication as long as I felt I needed.
After surgery I experienced quite a bit of stinging type discomfort and the obvious pressure, the pressure lasting a good two or three weeks. It was difficult to take a deep breath but now I know that is completely normal and that is no longer an issue. From time to time I still get the stinging but it's nothing like it was at first and I don't need to take anything for the discomfort. I discussed it with Dr. Newman and it seems to be the nerves coming back to life along with the skin stretching.
Morning boob also existed but now 7 weeks post op it's going away. I started sleeping on my side two weeks ago and that was a huge milestone. One can expect their back to hurt the first weeks after surgery. The stinging happens only rarely now and slowly my breast are starting to feel more and more apart of me, although not quite totally natural at this point. I'd love to know if there will be a day where they are 100% just not obvious to my mind. I think they will be because of the progress thus far. My stomach recovery in all honesty was nothing compared to my breast. Everyone is different and I'd say it was a bit hard even having an awesome surgeon who handled me with kid gloves. I'm so amazed that I had no bruising and very little bleeding.
My stomach has a bit of fluid still but that is also going away and I'm so happy that I can wear a bikini and not have the skin sticking out as I did before. I think the last straw for me before surgery was during sex with my husband, I looked down at my boobs and stomach and actually turned myself off. Ahhhh, that was it. I wrangled up my courage and decided to finally give myself the gift of nice breast and a stomach that matched the rest of me.
Today I was cleared to start yoga again. That has been the hardest part in all honesty. It helps my mind so much. I also miss hugging my husband without thought but he is so patient and reminds me how far I've come with each week. I guess I'm a bit impatient and just want to be back to my old self pronto tonto.
Dr. Newman is highly professional and I would not blink to recommend him. He saw me weekly up until today. My next appointment is in two months. I had a moment where I was concerned about redness and he saw me the same day. He takes ZERO chances and will even delay surgery if he feels there is a possibility that something could go wrong. His reputation is clearly important. When he drew me up the day of surgery, he kept saying to drop one shoulder or the other and to relax. I didn't even realize it was lifted but he was intent on making sure everything was even.
I'm happy with how I look. My areolas are even and much smaller, something I was so embarrassed about pre-surgery. My stitches have completely closed up. He's a perfectionist and I definitely trust him and would go back for any surgery needs. His staff is super friendly. I am ashamed that I forgot the nurses name but she was so gentle, caring and sweet; I didn't even feel the IV go in. I'm seriously the biggest pain baby ever, they took great care of me and continue to do so.
I will update my profile with images very soon.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
25150 Hancock Ave., Ste. 110, Murrieta, California
My first consultation opened the book for more questions. I scheduled a second and decided to go forward with Dr. Newman. He's a funny, concerned and conservative doctor, meaning extremely safe. If there is for instance an issue that he feels may jeopardize your health and/or results, he'll put surgery off until he feels your body and condition are safe and ready for surgery (this happened). Again, he takes no risk. As for his work, he's a perfectionist. When he was drawing me up, he kept asking me to drop one shoulder that I didn't even feel I had raised, his eye is well trained. My areolas are perfectly in line with one another, when prior to surgery they were not. They are also smaller, which I am VERY happy about. It's pretty impressive.
