Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. David A. Newman

Sourced directly from Dr. David A. Newman's social posts and replies.

What is the difference between closed and open rhinoplasty, and what are the scar implications?
Dr. Newman performs both closed and open rhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely from inside the nose, resulting in no external scars. Open rhinoplasty involves lifting the skin to expose the nasal tip, which allows for more extensive modifications and potentially better tip projection.

What post-surgery recovery support does Dr. Newman offer, especially for traveling patients?
After surgery at Dr. Newman's surgery center, patients are provided with a hotel stay located next door. This arrangement allows the practice to easily check on patients and provide access to care, facilitating optimal healing. This support is particularly beneficial for international patients and those traveling for surgery, ensuring they are supported throughout their recovery.
Source →
What is the recommended BMI for a tummy tuck, and why is it important?
For a tummy tuck, Dr. Newman prefers patients to have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or less. This recommendation is crucial because a BMI within this range leads to a better cosmetic result, safer healing, and allows patients to recover more effectively and return to their regular activities sooner. Your BMI significantly impacts both your safety and the final outcome of the procedure.

What is the difference between a tummy tuck and a panniculectomy?
A panniculectomy involves simply removing the pannus, which is defined as one large skin fold that goes from side to side in the lower abdomen. In a tummy tuck, the same incision is made, but the procedure goes up under the skin to flatten the entire abdomen. A tummy tuck removes all excess skin, including folds in the upper abdomen, not just the bottom, with the goal of achieving a smooth overall result.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$80

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. David A. Newman received $80 across 3 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
