In Dr. Josh Waltzman's own words
How Dr. Josh Waltzman describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.
Approach
- And again, it's a general measurement, but it's kind of the best we have in discussing cup size with patients
- And it needs to be, in my opinion, a more subtle lift. So we're talking maybe one, two, maybe up to three centimeters of lifting for the nipple and the areola
- If someone has breasts that are very, very, very tautic and a lot of extra loose skin, I don't know that Preserve would be my first choice for a procedure
Specialization
- I am the medical director of the Waltzman Institute in Bixby Knolls, and we are a one-stop shop for all your plastic surgery and aesthetic needs
- We have a full-service plastic surgery practice, as well as a state-of-the-art med spa and a fully-accredited surgery center on-site
Technique
- You can combine a breast lift with Preserve breast augmentation
Technology
- We also have a med spa that offers the latest advancement in laser technology
Training & credentials
- Hi, my name is Dr. Josh Waltzman, and I'm a board-certified plastic surgeon in Long Beach, California
- Dr. Waltzman completed an Advanced Aesthetic Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic.
Recovery guidance
- These are the reasons that us as plastic surgeons advise our patients to really rest, follow the post-op recovery so you have the best outcome possible
Safety
- The main thing that comes to mind for me, my main concern is a hematoma, which means uncontrolled internal bleeding in the area that we just operated

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)
$807
Payments
15
Compared to peers
Modest
Dr. Josh Waltzman received $807 across 15 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was MOTIVA USA, LLC.
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?”
