The Faces of Balanced Beauty in Plastic Surgery
Charles E. Newman, Jr, MD and Dzi-Long Newman, PA-C | Newman Plastic Surgery
Understanding the intricacies of aesthetic balance sets Newman Plastic Surgery apart.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Newman, along with wife and physician assistant, Dzi Newman, have built their Orlando practice on the principles of Balanced Beauty. Their approach utilizes the integration of technology, science, and function to complement each other to achieve aesthetic harmony.
“Patients sometime say things like, ‘just fix it’ or ‘just make it go away,’ requesting procedures they believe will miraculously eliminate their specific problem area.” Dr. Newman cautions that “just fix it” procedures don’t always yield the results truly desired because the modification can throw off the balance of the patient’s overall appearance. “The nose pictured in the magazine may look great on a particular celebrity but it won’t necessarily work aesthetically with your eyes, cheeks, jaw line, etc. Breast enhancement and body contouring can restore proportions that may have changed after having children. However, breasts that are too large can overpower a woman’s frame, making her appear heavy. Our goal is to help patients claim whole beauty. It is not about erasing or replacing individual parts but rather approaching the patient in a comprehensive manner so we can uncover, enhance, and refine each individual’s aesthetic potential.”

Jason Siegel, CEO | Central Florida Sports Commission
Founded in 1993, the Central Florida Sports Commission (CFSC) is a community and privately funded nonprofit whose mission is to attract and manage sports-related events, conferences and activities that drive positive economic impact for the region. The CFSC is one of the country’s largest regional sports commissions, representing the City of Orlando, Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties and the 30+ facilities within the Central Florida footprint.
Jason Siegel is entering his third year as CEO, and was recognized by the Orlando Business Journal as a CEO of the Year in 2017. Under Siegel’s leadership, the CFSC will host more than 150 events and is projected to drive more than $400 million in economic impact from 2016-2018.
“It takes a village, and hosting is in our community’s DNA,” Siegel says. “Collaboration is paramount and we would not be successful without the commitment of our CFSC staff, board of directors, and stakeholders in government, business, pro sports, colleges and universities, and the tourism industry.”
Siegel and his team are targeting new and returning marquee events, including WrestleMania, Monster Jam World Finals, NCAA championships, Olympic qualifiers, major league all-star games, and large amateur and e-sports events. They are also spearheading Orlando’s campaign – along with the City of Orlando and Orlando City Soccer Club – to serve as a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
