In Dr. Neal Goldberg's own words

How Dr. Neal Goldberg describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • I think any of these energy-based tissue tightening treatments are pretty overrated. What they can do by comparison to surgery is quantum difference
  • The trust of patients is the most important aspect of the doctor's work.
  • I'm looking to volumize right here where the cheek meets the chin so that we straighten out the jaw line just a little bit

Specialization

  • We removed the redundant skin, repaired the muscle separation, and restored a flat, smooth abdominal contour

Technique

  • By placing precise amounts along the marionette lines, we softened the downward shadows from the mouth to the chin
  • And just by adding a little projection to the chin, you can correct a lot of that without even doing the neck surgery

Technology

  • Dr. Neal Goldberg uses Restylane for injections.

About

Dr. Neal Goldberg is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Scarsdale, New York, specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, breasts, and body. He believes patient trust is the most important aspect of his work and emphasizes realistic expectations for every treatment. Dr. Goldberg approaches facial rejuvenation by understanding how every structure supports the face as a whole, rather than chasing individual lines. For breast augmentation, he focuses on what fits an individual's body, noting that implant volume alone doesn't determine the final appearance. He highlights that breast reduction offers relief and helps patients feel comfortable in their own bodies, extending beyond just size. His tummy tucks involve "rebuilding the foundation of the abdominal wall" by repairing muscle separation. Dr. Goldberg aims for lower blepharoplasty results that make a patient look rested, not different. While energy-based tissue tightening devices have subtle effects for mild cases, he stresses they cannot replace surgery for significant skin laxity. He advises patients to plan filler treatments at least three to four weeks before events to allow for swelling to settle and for minor adjustments.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Neal Goldberg

Sourced directly from Dr. Neal Goldberg's social posts and replies.

How long does it take for the shape to settle after a breast reduction, and how do scars fade?
The shape after a breast reduction is typically settled at 3 months post-operation, and the scars will continue to fade over the next year.

What is Dr. Goldberg's philosophy on breast implant sizing?
Dr. Goldberg emphasizes that implant sizing should never be determined solely by a numerical value (like cc's) because the same volume will not appear the same on every individual. Factors like chest width, existing breast tissue, and overall body proportions all influence the final appearance. The primary consideration is what is appropriate and fits an individual's body, rather than just a number.
Source →
How do breast reduction procedures vary, and what should patients expect?
Breast reduction procedures are not uniform for all patients, with breast size being the determining factor for variations. While a reduction is straightforward for most, complexity increases with larger breasts because the nipple needs to travel further, and its blood supply can only stretch so far. In extreme cases, the nipple may be completely removed and grafted back on, which is effective but comes with tradeoffs like changes in sensation or pigment. A reduction is almost always possible, but for patients starting with larger breast sizes, it is especially crucial to understand realistic outcomes.

What is Dr. Goldberg's view on energy-based tissue tightening treatments?
Dr. Goldberg considers energy-based tissue tightening the most overrated nonsurgical treatment. While these devices do have some subtle effect, they cannot replace surgery. He emphasizes that the difference between what an energy-based device can do and what surgery can achieve is 'night and day.' These treatments are suitable for mild cases or early prevention, but for significant skin laxity or descent, radiofrequency or ultrasound will not provide facelift-level results, and patients should have realistic expectations.
Source →
What is Dr. Goldberg's approach to facial rejuvenation, particularly regarding temple hollowing?
Dr. Goldberg identifies temple hollowing as one of the most overlooked indicators of facial aging. Volume loss in this area diminishes support for surrounding tissues, leading to brow descent, a heavier midface, and an overall tired appearance. He emphasizes that effective facial rejuvenation is not about chasing individual lines but understanding how every facial structure contributes to the face as a whole. Carefully restoring temple volume can rebalance proportions and create a subtle, natural-looking lift in the upper and midface.
Source →
What are the indications for a tummy tuck, and what does the procedure involve?
A tummy tuck is indicated for significant excess skin and separated abdominal muscles that cannot be fixed by diet or exercise. Dr. Goldberg's procedure involves removing redundant skin, repairing muscle separation, and restoring a flat, smooth abdominal contour, emphasizing that it's about rebuilding the foundation of the abdominal wall, not just skin removal. Results are dramatic at 6 weeks post-op and continue to refine as swelling resolves.
Source →
How does Dr. Goldberg use Restylane for facial rejuvenation?
Dr. Goldberg uses Restylane, a hyaluronic acid filler designed to restore volume, smooth fine lines, and keep results natural. He applies precise amounts along marionette lines to soften downward shadows from the mouth to the chin and creates a subtle lift along the jawline to refine facial contours, resulting in a more sculpted and refreshed profile.
Source →
What does lower blepharoplasty address, and what results can be expected?
Lower blepharoplasty addresses the fat that bulges forward under the eyes, which creates a persistent puffy, tired appearance that cannot be fixed by sleep or eye cream. Dr. Goldberg notes that successful results are fully settled and completely natural at three months post-operation, making a patient look rested, not different. This procedure is recommended for those constantly told they look tired when they are not.
Source →
What is the recommended timing for filler procedures, especially before events?
Dr. Goldberg advises patients to allow sufficient time for filler results to manifest, as procedures typically involve swelling and sometimes bruising that need time to settle. For events where one will be photographed (e.g., weddings, reunions), filler procedures should be planned at least three to four weeks in advance. This allows ample time for swelling and bruising to resolve and provides an opportunity for minor adjustments if needed. Undergoing treatment only a few days before an event can result in a puffy appearance in photos that cannot be retaken.

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)

$66

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Neal Goldberg received $66 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 Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

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?”
