If I could give one million stars to Dr. Lisa Jewell and her team at SBPS, I would! In August I had a consultation with Dr. Jewell for a breast reduction and immediately knew she was the surgeon I wanted to trust with this life-altering surgery. She was kind, informative, upfront about limitations and goals, and detailed in her care. Dr. Jewell was also compassionate and realistic rather than judgmental when it came to my weight. Many surgeons turn away candidates for being overweight, or ask them to lose a certain amount of weight before they'll take them on for a reduction. Dr. Jewell was upfront that, as long as you're a healthy candidate in terms of labs/pre-op numbers/overall wellness, she does not see being overweight as an immediate "no" for a reduction. She told me I only needed to lose weight if *I* wanted to, and even sent me a handwritten note after our consult saying that I'd be an excellent candidate for surgery. This thoughtful gesture and her compassion really sealed the deal for me in terms of selecting a surgeon. This first consultation was also where I met Stephanie Perez, the absolutely AMAZING Patient Care Coordinator at SBPS. Stephanie herself deserves a million stars for her willingness to go the extra mile for every patient who walks through the doors of SBPS. She has done it all - digging into exact grams of tissue to remove to have my procedure covered by insurance, tracking down post-surgical bras when the ones I had didn't fit, explaining self-pay options when insurance didn't work out, moving other appointments around to squeeze me into appointment times that would work, and more. She even reached out to me right after my procedure just to see how I was doing and wish me well on the healing journey. I truly think that if every medical practice had their own Stephanie, we would be driving flying cars and there would be no war. I know that may sound dramatic, but in the past, my family and I have had our care compromised at other medical facilities when things like scheduling, follow up, and coordination slip through the cracks. Stephanie's dedication was a HUGE part of what made my overall experience so smooth and stress-free! Back to the procedure itself. Although I had my consult with Dr. Jewell in August, my surgery wasn't until December 11th. Something small to note if you're considering a reduction with SBPS: they perform surgeries both at their in-house surgical suite and at Torrance Memorial Hospital. They actually had openings a little earlier at their surgical suite, but you have to be below a certain BMI to have your surgery done at the surgical suite. If you do need to get your surgery done at Torrance Memorial, you may have to wait a little longer like I did, so I'd recommend scheduling your consultation ASAP 🙂 I can't say enough good things about the surgery itself and Dr. Jewell's work. I am now five days post-op and healing beautifully thanks to Dr. Jewell's amazing precision and detailed post-op care instructions. I brought a cheap t-shirt bra in my goal size to my last pre-op appointment with her to give her an estimate of goal volume, and she exceeded my expectations with her final result. I was worried that I would need a FNG - I wanted to go down 7 cup sizes, which is a huge change - but Dr. Jewell was able to achieve this result without a FNG and without any loss of sensation. She removed 3 lbs of tissue and I almost cried the second I woke up from surgery, as all my back, shoulder, and neck pain was completely gone. Thanks to her detailed post-op plan, I've been able to manage post-op pain using OTC Advil and Tylenol alone, and am getting stronger every day. I truly can't explain how life-changing this surgery has been for me. I've immediately been able to breathe better, sleep better, and finally no longer have constant back/neck pain, all thanks to Dr. Jewell and her team's amazing care. If you're in the South Bay area and considering a breast reduction, I would highly highly recommend Dr. Lisa Jewell and the entire team at SBPS!!

I recently had breast surgery with Dr. Lisa Jewell, and I couldn’t be more pleased. She is kind, patient, and exceptionally knowledgeable. The surgery went smoothly, the results look natural and beautiful, and her attention to detail is outstanding. Her team was also professional, caring, and supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Jewell to anyone considering breast surgery.

We're honored to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Lisa Jewell. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Dr. Jewell has performed two procedures on me. I was very satisfied with her work the first time, and by the second time I fully trusted her. The Surgery Scheduling Director, Jennifer Berman, was also incredibly helpful with my second surgery request. She worked very closely with me and helped make the impossible possible, providing clear timelines to follow. Dr. Jewell’s team is the best, and I will definitely return for future cosmetic work!

Dr. Jewell is a remarkable surgeon and I’ll add diagnostician as she was the first to identify a localized breast cancer recurrence during my annual check up. During this stressful event Dr. Jewell has shown kindness, patience and dedication to making this second breast reconstruction successful. I can’t thank her enough!

Thank you for sharing your experience with Dr. Jewell's remarkable care during your reconstruction and recovery journey.

I've had 2 surgeries with Dr. Liang, liposuction and a tummy tuck. Dr. Liang is a wizard. I love my results. Most of all I appreciate his honesty and his integrity. The staff are professional and my nurse Martha was the most empathetic and kind person and I am so happy that she was the one to look after me after the surgery. I highly recommend SBPS to anyone looking to have some work done. They take wonderful care of their patients

We are pleased to hear about your wonderful experience with Dr. Liang and Martha. Thank you for recommending SBPS.

Dr. Newman was my surgeon for right breast reconstructive surgery. His expertise is top notch and his bedside manner very professional and caring. I’ve had a total of three surgeries in a three month period and I felt confident every time having him and another general surgeon as my doctors. Dr. Newman’s office is very well run with staff that is friendly and professional. I highly recommend him and hope he stays around forever!

Business Owner replied on Oct 14, 2025:

Thank you for trusting Dr. Newman with your reconstructive surgery and recommending our practice. Your confidence means everything.
