Beverly Hills Top Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Newman talks about his Forever Breast Reconstruction Surgery for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
With Breast Cancer Awareness Month in full gear, those assisting with research and treatment, as well as survivors help bring understanding and raise funds for attention to its cause, prevention, diagnosis, and cure. Dr. Michael Newman, who has recently been named Beverly Hills’ Hunkiest Plastic Surgeon by LAPALME Magazine, is doing his part; offering “Forever Breast Reconstruction” for female cancer patients. Dr. Newman says, “Working with breast cancer patients is truly one of the most gratifying aspects of plastic surgery. Their courage is inspiring,”
Newman explains that cancer patients frequently have an instinctive urge to worry about reconstruction later on. He says that as plastic surgeons, their duty is to educate patients so informed decisions can be made about reconstruction, especially since so many options are available. They also offer emotional support since the stress from cancer treatments can be extremely exhausting. “Breast cancer patients often have many mountains to climb as part of their treatment, such as chemotherapy, radiation, cancer removal surgery, and reconstruction to name a few,” states Newman.
