Newsweek conducted a national survey among plastic surgeons, asking them to recommend the best plastic surgeons in their state as well as across the U.S.
Additionally, participants were asked to rank their peers according to several quality dimensions. The rankings feature the top 200 plastic surgeons for breast augmentation and the top 150 for liposuction, facelift and rhinoplasty. In total, 387 individual plastic surgeons were ranked, with some being recognized for more than one procedure. Dr. Teitelbaum, a plastic surgeon in Santa Monica and Los Angeles, was voted number eight of the top plastic surgeons in America by Newsweek.
We take every step to ensure your safety: an accredited modern operating room; one of the most outstanding and experienced teams of Los Angeles plastic surgery nurses assembled; and a caring, Harvard-trained anesthesiologist with 25 years of plastic and cardiac surgery experience.
All About...
Breast implants do not just enlarge breasts and create a more attractive balance, they can also improve their shape. Done with skill and care they will be only as obvious as you desire them to be.

After substantial weight loss, many individuals are plagued by loose skin on their face, arms, breasts, stomachs, buttocks, or thighs. These can be lifted and tightened so that you can enjoy the well-deserved fruits of your accomplishment.
Breast reduction can transform breasts that are uncomfortable and in the way, into breasts that are beautiful, proportional, and allow women to enjoy the lifestyle and fashion they desire.
Liposuction permanently removes areas that carry a disproportionate amount of fat so that you will look thinner and better proportioned.
A tummy tuck can remove loose skin and tighten separated muscles, restoring a smooth, flat, and youthful stomach.
