Dr. Andrew Kleinman has been in private practice in Westchester county for over 20 years. his philosophy of plastic surgery is that it should look natural.

"My patients and I both believe in the natural look whether I perform a surgical procedure or non-surgical procedure for the. Many of my patients just want to look more refreshed. Sometimes they want to get back what time has taken away. And sometimes they just want to enhance what they have already. When they come to me, I take the time to understand what they want and answer their questions. I encourage patients to ask questions because it is very important that they know the benefits and the risks of the procedure that they are interested in."

Testi "Dr. Kleinman gives you an honest answer and to me that means a lot. Thanks for a great experience.

I am very happy with his work and I truly trust him."

Testi "A few months ago, I had a serious conversation with myself. I was 56, a successful entrepreneur, and had always prided myself on being in great shape. But over the last 3 years, I couldn't seem to exercise my way out of a "fat pouch" on my stomach and my thighs were an embarrassment. So I went on the internet to find a great MD who specialized in liposuction and I found Dr. Andrew Kleinman.

I called the number on his website and knew immediately that I had found the right doctor! I had a 15 minute conversation with Noella who was so encouraging and supportive. This is a woman who totally understands the meaning of "client service!" So many doctors don't realize that "new patients" are not committed to following through with "treatment" unless they feel that they actually matter as INDIVIDUALS. Noella convinced me that I was in great hands!

And after my first visit to Dr. Kleinman's office, I knew I had made a great choice. Noella is even more impressive in person - she made me feel so special - as did Dr. Kleinman's entire staff.

I then had the great honor to meet Dr. Kleinman who I liked and more importantly, respected, immediately. He is an expert in his field and he talked and clearly takes his work very seriously. It is critical to approach liposuction in a spirit of openness and partnership with your doctor. Dr. Kleinman took the time to answer every one of my questions as he wanted me to be an "educated consumer."

And I am happy to report that I am totally thrilled with the outcome! As Noella said, "don't you love how great you look in pants now?" And the simple truth was - I was ecstatic!

So much of cosmetic surgery is about trust. I put 100% of my faith and trust in Dr. Kleinman and I have the immense satisfaction of knowing that I chose the best surgeon and the best staff to help me take my life in a new and fabulous direction. I am so grateful!!"

Testi "Hi everyone,

It is my pleasure to contribute my recommendation to your office. You are all terrific! Thanks again for everything.

I am 53 years old and at an age where lumps and bumps stubbornly appear in undesirable places. I still consider myself to be an attractive woman but my clothing was just not fitting the way I would like. My "love handles" were peering over the sides of my jeans and pilates classes weren't helping win that war. At this point I felt it was time for a surgical solution. I researched my options and several consultations later I arrived at Dr. Kleinman's office and was greeted by a warm and welcoming staff. I chose Dr. Kleinman because of his extensive liposuction experience and I read in Westchester magazine that he was voted by his peers to be one of the top physicians in the county. After an informed and lengthy consultation with Dr. Kleinman and his nurse practitione Noella, I felt fully informed of everything involved with the VASER liposuction procedure and ready to forge ahead.

With only oral sedation and local anesthetic, the procedure was more comfortable than expected. The day after surgery was my daughter's 17th birthday and I was able to pick up her cake and spend the evening celebrating with friends. Having rest is important in the recovery process and there is some level of soreness and discomfort but not nearly what I expected. AND THE RESULTS!! After only three weeks my before and after pictures were amazing! I have been pulling out of storage all of those pants that didn't fit but I liked them too much to give away.

The whole experience was very tolerable and the results so fabulous that I decided to have another procedure on my thighs. With the expertise and comfort given by Dr. Kleinman and his staff, I would highly recommend anyone to trust them to perform any plastic surgery needed."

Testi "For most people, standing up straight would never be considered a feat. For me, it was a milestone. As a 20 year old with huge breasts, I never felt comfortable in my body. I couldn't share clothes with my friends, always felt like I was being objectified, and a bikini? Forget about it. Many girls think that big breasts are the equivalent of all that is sexy, but to someone who is the owner of breasts that are too large for her body, they encapsulate the meaning of insecurity.

My breast reduction surgery took place barely two weeks ago, but I can already say that Dr. Kleinman's procedure has enhanced my life in every way possible. The very same day of surgery, my back stopped hurting. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and burst into tears because I finally looked like a normal person. I feel like an enlightened (literally and figuratively) version of my former self -- along with two pounds of breast tissue, Dr. Kleinman has removed my insecurity and timidity."

Testi "I was interested in Breast Augmentation for a few years and I spent time researching who to go to. My friend had gone to Dr. Kleinman for breast augmentation, and looked great after the procedure. The reason I went to Dr. Kleinman was that he made her feel very comfortable. I then decided to go to Dr. Kleinman to discuss having breast augmentation. Now, after the procedure, I look and feel great. I am glad that I had the procedure done, and now I am looking forward to going through the same process with my sister..."

Testi "Let me just start by saying that I am not brave. I pass out by the mere mention of blood. I am afraid of needles, knives, R rated movies, and even boats! The other day I stubbed my toe and it caused a little bleeding, unfortunately I curled up on the bathroom floor in fright. I think you get the picture, I am not brave..."
R.D.


Testi "I contemplated breast augmentation for over ten years. I decided to get breast implants because I felt my body was not balanced. My upper body is then and I was barely an A cup. My lower body is more muscular and curvy. My breast augmentation has balanced my figure and made me feel more feminine. I'm very happy I finally did this. And yes, I did it for me."
C.F.


Testi "I have always felt out of shape: the curves of my lower body did not match the narrow shoulders and small bust. The clothing would not fit properly and even when I was in intimate surroundings, I felt lacking of she fullness. After years of consideration and research I approached Dr. Kleinman for help. The experience and understanding of what I was looking for resulted in my newly shaped body, which didn't require a new wardrobe, just a new bra. Now I feel more feminine and fullfilled. The clothing fits perfectly, the confidence level is definitely way up. The look is completely natural and doesn't feel that I had something put inside of me, if not for the scars."

Testi "Dr. Kleinman is a very down to earth guy who cares about his patient as a whole person. His skill and preciseness were obvious on the day of my consultation. I knew from that point on Dr. Kleinman was the perfect choice of surgeon for me. Dr. Kleinman was extremely informative and patient. His confidence and caring attitude were very reassuring. He made me feel 100% comfortable with my decision. I put all of my trust in him and got amazing results. Thanks again!"

Testi "Prior to having my three children, I was a 34C and always happy with my breasts. After my three children, my breasts basically looked like empty bags. At age 43, I decided that wasn’t good enough for me. I recently lost some weight and with that my breasts got smaller and to me, much less attractive. Having worked so hard on my physical appearance in the gym, I decided I wanted to research breast augmentation as an option for getting back what I once had. I started to notice many women around me that had clearly had breast implants, I thought maybe I would look into it. I decided just to “explore” the option until I called Dr. Kleinman’s office. After a lengthy conversation with Noela, I knew I was going to go through with the procedure. She immediately put me at ease. I have always considered myself to be very natural, she assured me Dr. Kleinman did not 'do the showgirl look'."

Testi "At age 52, sun and gravity has taken a toll on my face. Unhappy with my appearance I visited Dr. Kleinman who understood how I felt. He administered Botox around my eyes and forehead which brought back my brow arch. He also administered Juvederm around my nose and lips which showed results immediately. He took years off my face. I am glad I now have Dr. Kleinman as my doctor. He has made me happier and I really feel very good about myself.

Thank you Dr. Kleinman and your staff who made me feel very comfortable the moment I walked in."
A.D.


Testi "Dr. Kleinman was very educated on my surgery and explained everything in detail of how the surgery would go. He was honest of what he could change and not change. He did an amazing job, I couldn't ask for a better outcome! The staff was so caring and made me feel like family. I'd highly recommend Dr. Kleinman to perform any surgery!

Thanks for everything."

Testi "I was a 70 year old woman with a very thick neck. The farthest thing from my mind was to have another surgery. A few years back I had surgery for a removal of a submandibular gland in my neck. This caused my neck to look very uneven and because of the scar, it shifted the flesh on my neck to one side. This really bothered me, my husband encouraged me, and so I had a few opinions as to what to do, I was not satisfied with the answers that were given to me. I am a Registered Nurse and I chose Dr. Kleinman because of his reputation as a surgeon and because of his honesty in what could be done for me. I am amazed at the results that I received under his care. My neck now looks very normal and the scar with the thick flesh above it is hardly noticeable. I did have some hesitation because of my age but I decided to do this for me. Dr. Kleinman was very caring and honest in his opinion of the results I would receive. The staff in his office are very caring and helpful. I would recommend Dr. Kleinman very highly. His skill as a surgeon has given me back my neck. It looks very natural and does not look like I had any surgery."

Testi "After month of research Dr. Kleinman was the first and last consultation I needed. The staff was wonderful and he made me feel comfortable and excited about the surgery.

The results were amazing and Dr. Kleinman was great!"

Testi "When I first walked into Dr. Kleinman's office I was immediately at ease. Noela called me by my name and came out to greet me. I had already been to two other surgeons to have a consultation on my tummy tuck so I wasn't expecting to hear anything new from Dr. Kleinman. I spent over an hour with Dr. Kleinman and his staff going over all of my options. He was interested in all aspects of my life with regards to my surgery and recovery. He takes a very cautious approach to surgery which made me feel incredibly safe and secure. Dr. Kleinman discussed the results and was very honest and direct about what I can expect. He definitely was more thorough and caring that the other doctors I met with..."

Testi "When I first went in for my laser hair removal with Noela, I was a bit skeptical. I have been to one of those advertised laser facilities for hair removal and received little results after many treatments. After paying hundreds of dollars I decided I just wasn't a good candidate for laser hair removal. I was wrong. Noela removed a good portion of my hair from my underarms and my lower legs on the first treatment. I will definitely be recommending Noela to my friends."
C.B.


Testi "I came to Dr. Kleinman because I was interested in the VASER Liposuction procedure. I felt very comfortable in his office and Dr. Kleinman gave me time to ask all of my questions and explained everything thoroughly. My procedure was very comfortable and the staff was very supportive. Even though I am a bit older that some liposuction patients, I am extremely pleased with the results. It met and exceeded my expectations and I attribute that to Dr. Kleinman's skill. I would recommend this office highly."

Testi "While Botox really is miraculous in its power to smooth wrinkles, I've learned that there really is a subtle art to injecting it. In the right hands, it can really improve the look of your entire face. I used to go to another doctor and the results I got with him weren't nearly as satisfying as what Dr. Kleinman has been able to achieve. I had very deep horizontal furrows on my forehead and while my previous doctor was able to smooth them out, my brows never looked quite right. Now, I look perfectly smooth, but not at all unnatural, surprised, or frozen. Dr. Kleinman has my unqualified recommendation. I wouldn't let anyone else near me with a syringe!"

Testi "Dear Dr. Kleinman, Noela, and staff:

I just wanted to write you to let you know how happy I am that I chose your practice to help me with my cosmetic surgery. I had been struggling with the weight on my lower abdomen and my torso area for years. Four pregnancies and four c-sections did not help matters. Although I had maintained close to my weight, I tended to gain and retain more fat in that middle area. The procedure was quick and took only a couple of hours in the office. Although Noela had mentioned I would not remember much of the surgery, I clearly remember feeling comforted during the surgery and feeling safe and at ease.

I had full confidence in Dr. Kleinman. I was able to go back to work the next day (even though Noela had suggested I stay home) because I felt fine. I was slightly sore but it felt more like having had a rigorous workout with the muscle soreness that follows.

I truly love how I look and feel. Because of that I am much happier. As my husband puts it "If mom is happy; everyone is happy."

Thank you for all you have done for me."

Testi "At age 59, the sun and the years had taken its toll on my skin. Looking into the mirror, I wanted to look the way I feel. I knew I wanted to improve the lines in my face and there was no questions as to who I would contact.

I go back many years with Dr. Kleinman. He had performed amazing results with my son when he had suffered facial injuries 20 years ago. I also had gone to Noela for Microdermabrasion. The results were fabulous and she was so lovely to work with.

Recently, upon meeting with Dr. Kleinman to discuss options to improve my look, we decided that Botox to raise my brow line and Radiesse to fill the areas around my cheekbones would be a good choice. I am so thrilled with the results. I had the procedures done and went right back to work. Many people have remarked at how good I look for my age including my husband. Yet most people don't know I had anything done. It is very natural looking. For anyone considering a cosmetic procedure, I would strongly recommend Dr. Kleinman. From the moment you enter his office, his staff will make you feel so comfortable."

Testi "I was absolutely pleased and happy with Dr. Kleinman’s work. I had a rhinoplasty procedure done with also a septoplasty procedure (done by Dr. Matthew Kates, ENT).

Everything from the first office visit to my post-op visits has been great. Dr. Kleinman and Noela (his assistant) are so courteous and patient. They take the time to explain all the details of the procedure and to answer any questions you may have. I had so many questions which both Dr. Kleinman and Noela answered. They really made me feel at ease to get this procedure done. I knew I was in good hands!"

Testi "I am a 50 year old male who had my nose broken twice, leaving me with a bump on the top of my nose and a drooping forefront. I visited a few plastic surgeons in New York City, but was lucky to find the best one for me was located here in Westchester.

Dr. Kleinman explained what had happened to my nose, and graphically showed me what had to be done to correct the problems. My biggest concern was wanting my nose to look natural after the surgery. Dr. Kleinman listened, understood, and after a lengthy surgery in which he corrected everything that was wrong, left me with a natural looking man’s nose that reminds me of what my nose used to look like…only better. A big test came exactly one week after surgery. I went to a Christmas luncheon at work with twenty-six people. Not one mentioned my nose or that I looked different. I am much more confident again because I feel people are not looking at the bump on my disfigured nose anymore.

Thanks again Dr. Kleinman."

Testi "I am a 27 year old female who is nearly 3 weeks into having Vaser Lipo of the back (bra rolls). For the most part, I consider myself to be in good health and in decent shape. Over the past 6 years, I have been dedicated to dieting and exercising nearly 4 to 5 times a week, yet I still could never mange to get my back into shape. I never had a problem with the way I looked in front of a mirror, it's only when I would turn to the side that you could see all the back bulges (throwing my silhouette completely off) . It was even so bad that I needed to buy a size 11 dress when everywhere else on my body was a size 8!

One day, I decided I needed to do something about it. After researching a few plastic surgeons in my area, I came across Dr. Andrew Kleinman. I made an appointment for a consultation and after speaking with the doctor and realizing that this problem was not my fault (hereditary) I decided to book my surgery. The days leading up to the date I must admit, I was very nervous, but strangely enough that day I was quite excited and anxious to just get it done. Noela and Janet were AMAZING and so sweet and supportive; making everything as comfortable as possible. In my opinion, I would consider the actual surgery to be tolerable, there was never at any point where I felt I was in too much pain but if I did feel any discomfort at some point, Noela was right there holding my hand. When everything was all over, I was slipped into my garment and taken to a room to lie down for a nap. Like I mentioned earlier, it's been almost 3 weeks since my surgery and look GREAT!

People have even said it looks as though I've lost 20lbs! I have absolutely no regrets and recommend this surgery to anymore that has had difficulty getting a part of there body in shape through diet and exercise.

Thank you Dr. Kleinman, Noela, Janet and Sheryl…you’ve all made it possible for me to enjoy tank top season again!"
S.A.


Testi "I recently had a procedure done using the Vaser Lipo technology. From the initial consultation, where we decided to work on my "love handles," throughout the whole process, Dr. Kleinman was extremely professional and supportive. His staff was also really friendly and helpful. The procedure itself was a little uncomfortable but not really painful, and I was back to work in 2 days.....I found it helpful to take a day off but if you need to, you could manage to get through work the next day. The post-procedure pain was easily manageable and definitely worth it! I have a waist again, my clothes fit without bulging, and I owe it all to Dr. Kleinman! I'm very, very happy with the results."
L.C.


Testi "For several years I’ve contemplated having Lipo on my upper arms. I’ve researched close to a dozen doctors and narrowed it down to two doctors, of course Dr. Kleinman being one of the two. Before my scheduled appointment, I wrote down all of my questions and considered myself ready, nervous nonetheless, but ready. Upon arriving at the office I was met by Janet, office manager, who made me feel very much at ease. During the consultation, Dr. Kleinman answered all of my questions without me even asking. He explained the pro and con’s and did not sugar coat anything. I decided that I was comfortable with Dr. Kleinman’s track record, and of course credentials and certifications, and I would have him perform the surgery. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Kleinman was assisted by his nurse and beautiful wife Noela, who stood by my side through the whole procedure. Since I was under local anesthesia, I was semi awake and able to carry on a conversation. I was amazed by the fact that I did not feel any pain; Noela and Dr. Kleinman kept me informed what was going on during the procedure. I was in and out of Dr. Kleinman’s office within a few hours and thereafter had minimal discomfort.

Amazingly enough I slept like a baby that night. It took approximately less than two weeks for the swelling to go down, and each and every day my upper arms were getting smaller and tighter. Here I am six weeks later and I couldn’t be happier with the procedure and wish I would have done it sooner."
