Office

My Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based practice started in 1982. As a member of the Greater Milwaukee Plastic Surgeons, I have been privileged to witness the advent of several revolutionary techniques in the field of plastic surgery. I am referring to liposuction, multiplane and multivector face lifting, endoscopic plastic surgery, laser resurfacing, and microvascular tissue transfer. In addition, there have been significant refinements in existing procedures that include eyelid surgery, nose jobs, body contouring, and breast enhancement. I have also seen many procedures come and go and know that new does not always equate with better. It is my responsibility as a physician to obey the admonition "first do not harm;" and to advise my patients what is best for them. This involves listening and thinking and then applying my knowledge to their particular situation.

We are devoted to providing outstanding service to our plastic surgery Milwaukee patients. We understand that choosing to have plastic surgery is a major, sometimes intimidating decision, so we are always available to answer any questions or address any concerns you might have. Please contact Dr. Loewenstein, part of Greater Milwaukee Plastic Surgeons, to learn more. We look forward to hearing from you!

Testi "Dr. Loewenstein:

I just want to sincerely thank you for my new nose. It looks fabulous, and I love it! It is also great to breathe out of both sides. I made the right choice by choosing you as my surgeon. You did an outstanding job, and I really appreciate it. I have enclosed an after picture so that you can see it 4 weeks later."


Testi "Dr. Loewenstein,

I wanted to thank you so much for all you did, the flowers (I still have them), and especially my surgery. I feel so much better about myself already. You’re an amazing doctor. I can’t say thank you enough!"

Testi "Dear Dr. Loewenstein,

When I got home after my follow-up appointment, there were beautiful flowers at my front door from you! Thank you so much!

I am so thrilled with my new look and think that in addition to being a wonderful plastic surgeon, you are also an artist – you made me look so natural! Thank you!"

Testi "Dear Dr. Loewenstein:

Just a note of thanks for being such a wonderful doctor before, during and after my surgeries. You certainly made a very difficult time in my life easier with your knowledge and caring way. You have always gone over and above the call of duty as far as giving me time in your office and answering all of my many questions in detail.

Please enjoy lunch on me as a small token of my appreciation. I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful & talented doctor. Just might have to use you down the road for a face lift (ha-ha)."


Testi "Dear Dr. Loewenstein,

Thanks a million for your outstanding care; I’m so pleased with the cosmetic outcome of my eyes and left cheek. May God truly reward you for the manner in which you practice your gifted surgical abilities. You are so wonderful! I hope you stay in practice for a long time and have a wonderful 2009."

Testi "I'm happy to say a few words about Dr. Loewenstein. I found him to be patient, gentle and an excellent listener. I went to my pre-op consultation armed with a lot of information (much of which I gathered from your web site) and a long list of questions. He made me feel I could use as much of his time as I needed. He thoroughly answered all of my questions and had more information to add on top. He listened to what I wanted and together we looked at pre/post op photos for him to get more feedback from me.

Sandy, his "main" nurse, set up the surgery and made herself available for any questions I might have had at any time. I called her several times pre-op and she was always kind, candid, practical, and proud of Dr. Loewenstein and his work. I felt I was in good hands at all times. The surgery went smoothly and I was extremely well cared for by Dr. Loewenstein and the nursing staff at St. Luke's Surgery Center. I had drains put in and Dr. Loewenstein met me in his office on a Saturday-on his own time-to remove them. (His office is not open on Saturdays).

I got Dr. Loewenstein's name from a couple of places. The first to mention him was my OB/GYN. She said of all the breast augmentations she sees in her office, Loewenstein's name comes up the most and with good reason. The breasts she's seen by him "...are simply amazing. Very natural looking with practically no scarring." Secondly, I asked a doctor friend (emergency medicine) which plastic surgeon he would use if he needed one-and he said Dr. Loewenstein. Thirdly, I discovered that another doctor friend (general surgeon) chose Dr. Loewenstein to operate on his injured elbow (his operating arm). I was sold.

My statistics are as follows: 5'6", 110, 28" rib cage, was 34AA, now small C, 275cc overfilled to 300 left/325 right, under, round,smooth, Mentors, armpit incision done endoscopically, 8 weeks post op.

Dr. Loewenstein told my husband and I that breast augmentation is about 50% science and 50% art. It really is important to find a quality plastic surgeon. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Dr. Loewenstein and recommend him to anyone in the market.

Update 8/29/99: Just like many people after their first ba, I wished I had asked Dr. Loewenstein to make me a little bigger and wider. He obviously wanted me to be happy with my results and discussed several options to achieve what I desired. After much thought, my husband and I decided to go with silicone implants. I had my redo 8/25/99 with 450cc silicone implants at Elmbrook Hospital. Dr. Loewenstein performed the procedure endoscopically again and was able to use my original trans-ax incision sites. I am thrilled with the results and can't say enough about Dr. Loewenstein and his staff. Sandy, who had to deal with all of the extra paper work associated with the silicone study, was particularly wonderful. I am proud to be a part of the study with Dr. Loewenstein."

Testi "I had such a great experience with Dr. Loewenstein and would recommend him HIGHLY. He is kind-of quiet, but every time I saw him (pre & post-op) I went in with a list of questions and no matter how many patients he had waiting he made sure I never left without my questions answered! I had VERY little pain after my surgery and was up and about the next day. My new breasts looked fantastic at 1 week post-op, and they felt almost natural at 2 weeks. Dr. Loewenstein reviewed pictures that I had brought in on my pre-op visit with me and gave me his suggestions. I think he was right on the money with a "natural" size for my frame. Feel free to e-mail me if you would like to discuss Dr. Loewenstein further, but again I HIGHLY recommend him (and this comes from a patient that was TERRIFIED of having this surgery)."

Testi "I choose Dr. Loewenstein because during my consultation he walked in the door and went through just about everything that can happen (complications) from a BA and then said - "Still want to talk about it?". I did not feel like he was trying to "sell" me anything - I felt like he genuinely wanted me to be informed about a very serious decision. I did go ahead with my BA and could not be happier! Dr. Loewenstein is a skilled surgeon and a very nice man!"
S.Z.


Testi "I had my BA 3 weeks ago with Dr. Loewenstein. I am very happy with the results. I had surgery at St. Joseph's hospital on Burleigh St. The first week after surgery was a little rough, but then I recovered quite a bit. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them if I can!! Good luck."


Testi "You will be in GREAT hands! I had Dr. Loewenstein for my original BA and my re-do to silicone and also some Lipo. He is a FANTASTIC surgeon and really knows his stuff. My cousin also went to him for her BA and is VERY happy. He's a bit quiet (I'm sure you noticed), but he is VERY skilled and even participated in a video for Nicole here at ImplantInfo. Good luck with your BA (BTW I had NO pain after either BA -- lipo was a whole different story! Take care and keep us posted!"

Testi "Nicole,

I used Dr Loewenstein in Milwaukee, WI. I told him I found his info on your site. I am very impressed with his technical ability. I had my breast augmentation over 5 months ago and have had zero complications which I credit to luck and him. I don’t have any follow ups with him, and only met with him two times post op. I am glad I had the comfort of your website recommendation. Dr. Loewenstein is quiet but always answered my questions.

I am happy with my results. If I ever have a need for a redo I may go a little smaller. I would definitely go back to Dr. Loewenstein."

Testi "Nicole,

I had my surgery on July 20, and I am so happy with the results. I really believe Dr. Loewenstein is an artist as well as a wonderful surgeon. He knew what would look best on my small frame (5’7”, 120 pounds and small in the rib cage) – I trusted his judgment and couldn’t be happier. I am older than most of the women who visit your site (50), and was concerned about someone my age having breast augmentation. Dr. Loewenstein made me feel perfectly comfortable about my decision, and understood that I was doing this for me, that I didn’t want to be ‘in your face big’. I’m now a full C, look very proportionate and my clothes fit so much better! I would recommend Dr. Loewenstein to anyone!

Nicole, your website has been wonderful for me. I spent so much time on it just prior to my surgery and it helped ease the pre-BA jitters. Thank you!"

Testi "On September 30th, I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Loewenstein. I was very concerned about not going too big. I am slender. 107 lbs. and 5'5" tall. Age 60. I was a 34 "A" and am now a nice full "B". I am so happy with my results. My measurements are now 35-25-35. It is exactly 15 days since my surgery and I am in no pain what-so-ever.

Throughout all of my surgical procedures Dr. Loewenstein has allowed me repeated office visits to answer any questions and address any fears. Doctor Loewenstein is NOT Doc. Hollywood!! He is patient, kind, honest, and down to earth. If he seems quiet, I think it's because his gears are really turning while he is trying to figure the best way to approach each person's particular needs. He does not try to push other surgical procedures at you.

Sandy, his nurse is very helpful. She handled all the paperwork with ease and a good nature. She also took phone calls from me with patience and a great sense of humor."

Testi "Dr. Loewenstein saved my life... literally- I was so depressed. He was great! I felt like he genuinely cared about his patients. My surgery was a success and I am happy and content. I would recommend him to anyone!"


Testi "From my first hand experience, I highly recommend Dr. Paul Loewenstein to anyone looking to have a breast augmentation procedure, or a rhinoplasty procedure. Dr. Loewenstein adhered closely to my needs, and in every interaction with himself and his staff, I have experienced utmost levels of professionalism and competence. Before my surgery, Dr. Loewenstein was thorough in explaining my options and in making sure to answer all my questions, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with my decisions. Patient Care Coordinator, Sandi Enea (part of Dr. Loewenstein’s team) was also very respectful, thorough, and helpful in my decision making and recovery processes. After surgery, Dr. Loewenstein monitored me closely, and I felt 100% comfortable in his care and 100% confident I had made the right decision in having him as my Surgeon for these procedures.

Between the time I had started thinking about doing these procedures, and the time I actually moved forward, there was about an 8 year gap. I didn’t want to have my procedures performed by just anyone, and I wanted to make sure I was making the right decision, both in the specifics of my surgery, and in the doctor I was choosing. I would have found it highly beneficial if someone would have pointed me in the direction of Dr. Paul Loewenstein when I started looking at different surgeons in the Milwaukee Metro and surrounding areas. After my initial consultation, and after talking with Dr. Loewenstein and Sandi Enea, I knew I could let go of my hesitations, and that choosing Dr. Loewenstein as my surgery provider was without a doubt the right choice for me.

My surgery results are amazing. I went from a small B cup to a C cup, and I couldn’t be happier with the results of my breast augmentation. Also, the results of my rhinoplasty procedure exceeded my expectations. I healed extremely quickly from these surgeries, and my care throughout this time was impeccable.

Again, I would recommend anyone thinking about facial or breast procedures to talk to Dr. Loewenstein before making a decision. He is an outstanding Surgeon, and he provides outstanding surgery results."
