The Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Getting breast implants is a decision that most of our Torrance patients carefully consider for months, or even years, before they undergo surgery. For women who have been self-conscious about their bodies for much of their lives, or for those who have lost volume over time, the physical transformation is often matched by increased self-esteem and confidence. Patients who have realistic expectations about the procedure’s results and who are pursuing breast enhancement for themselves, and not based on what someone else thinks, tend to be extremely satisfied with the outcome. Women who want to restore volume lost after having children may also need to combine breast augmentation with a breast lift if their breasts are sagging.
“I was referred to South Bay Plastic Surgeons by a friend for my breast augmentation surgery. They were beyond wonderful. Everything was easy and they are so accommodating with scheduling…They are the best!”
— Yelp user J.K. from Palos Verdes Peninsula
Why choose us for your breast augmentation surgery?
South Bay Plastic Surgeons is committed to our patients’ safety and satisfaction. We strive to deliver exceptional results in a number of ways:
- Safety: Our surgeons use the Keller Funnel® to perform a “no touch” implant placement that decreases the risk of capsular contracture.
- Minimal Scarring: We use multiple-layer suture closure to encourage the best possible incision healing.
- Implant Sizers: During consultations, we provide sizers that allow you to “try on” various implant sizes in order to achieve the most symmetrical result possible.
- 3-D Imaging: We use the VECTRA® 3-D imaging system to help you visualize and adjust your outcome before surgery.
- Comfort: To minimize post-op discomfort, we inject local medication during the procedure.
- Implant Options: We offer saline, form-stable silicone (“gummy bear”), and structured (“ideal implant”) options.
How much does breast augmentation cost in the Los Angeles area?
Breast augmentation surgery typically costs between $7,000 – $10,000 in the Los Angeles area, but this price varies widely depending on a number of factors. The type of implant used in your surgery, the placement of your implants, and your unique goals are just a few issues that influence your breast augmentation price. During your consultation, our board-certified doctors will discuss the available options. Once you and your surgeon have determined the course of your procedure, we’ll provide you with a personalized cost estimate.

Nice, clean, modern office. Pleasant attentive staff, Dr. Newman has great patient skills, caring and with a sense of urgency and made sure I understood the process. I was here to have skin cancer removed so he was sensitive to the issue. Made me feel comfortable in a sensitive situation.
Dec 16, 2020
Dr.Michael Newman and the staff here are amazing!!! I consulted three other surgeons before deciding to go with Dr. Newman. I knew the moment i met him that he was the surgeon for me. His bedside manner is so calming and he listened to what i wanted to accomplish with my surgery. I am so pleased with my results!!! I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding surgeon.
Dec 14, 2020
This team is absolutely amazing! They treated me with the best care and compassion. From my initial consultation all the way to my 4 month post op visit they earned 5 stars! Dr. Newman was my surgeon and I am so happy with the results from my breast implant removal. Thanks to everyone with the 5 star treatment!!

I was thrown a curve ball in 2020 (other than the usual). I was diagnosed with breast cancer. With the help of many great doctors I got through two surgeries. I was very impressed with the treatment I got from Dr. Liang. I felt very comfortable with him. He worked around my schedule and always asked me how I felt and if I had any questions. He also called my husband immediately after I came out of surgery. The staff is great as well. Hopefully I won't be needing any more surgeries but I know where I will be going if I do.

This is a review for the amazingly skilled Dr Jewell at SBPS. I had previously seen 4-5 plastic surgeons for a lift and augmentation post-breastfeeding. They all said they would need to use anchor incisions and scars. Given that I was trying to re-capture my feminine feel, this was really discouraging. I somehow decided to look to the south of me instead of North in Beverly Hills and it was fate. I discovered that Dr Jewell performed many complicated surgeries for cancer patients and I realized that if she couldn’t help me, no one could. Or no one in budget! Within a couple of minutes meeting her she reassured me that she didn’t need to do any anchor scarring at all! What I loved was that she encouraged me to go for what I wanted - saline, though she typically works with silicone, and that she was able to give me really gorgeous, natural and symmetrical results. I also appreciate that she’s kind of low-key conservative and wants a size that actually looks right on her patients. I now have GORGEOUS, symmetrical boosies that are more symmetrical and full than I’ve ever had and yet they look totally natural. Bless her! I’m only 3 months out so I’m still waiting for all the dropping and fluffing as they say but I can see the writing on the wall. These girls are gorgeous and I only wish I’d done this sooner. If you work with Dr Jewell, you’re doing yourself a favor!

Dr. Liang is a top-notch plastic surgeon and, I cannot say enough about the great job he did when performing my breast reconstruction surgery following the mastectomy. Dr. Liang worked closely with the general surgeon and the oncologist before and during the mastectomy. I had several post-op follow-ups with him to optimize my care and to manage any issues that arose. He was very particular and thorough in order to achieve the desired outcome. The final results were almost indistinguishable from my natural breast. Dr. Liang and his staff were very sensitive to the situation I was in following my cancer diagnosis and, his warm and caring manner was a blessing during the whole ordeal. Thank you, Dr. Liang!

Getting a Breast Augmentation was something that I have always wanted to do. Being in the foster care system taught me to be an independent woman, and as a part of that, I sought out to fix something about myself I was never truly comfortable with. It didn’t take long to find the perfect match for me. Once I found my team, I didn’t think twice. To Rachel the “Bra Fitter”, thank you for always making me feel comfortable during those awkward times of the fittings, and ensuring me that I was always in good hands. If they had a sales position for your job, you would be the best, and your communication was unparalleled. To Dr. Burrell the “Mastermind”, thank you for helping me trust doctors again. I trusted you implicitly with every direction that we took. You are so skilled in what you do and the passion you have for your job shows in every conversation we had. To Krishna the “Sweetest Receptionist”, thank you for welcoming me with open arms. I have had so many horrible interactions when it came to doctors’ offices, and your awesome smile made me feel like home. I never knew offices like yours could be so welcoming. Though you are the first face everyone sees when you walk in, I am honored that you took so much time out of your day to check in on me. To Olga the “Unbelievable Recovery Nurse”, thank you for walking me through my day-of procedures and what to expect. You handled my fear of needles like a champ, and I know I am not easy to deal with when it comes to “the poke”. I was so nervous before, but your calming bedside manner made me feel as though I was talking to my very own best friend. To Dr. Patel the “Vein Champagne Supplier”, thank you for being by my side. You knew exactly what to say to keep me calm. Our pre-operation call was like speaking to someone’s mother. You walked me through everything step by step and knowing you were by my side during the surgery made it all the more easy! To Chelsea the “Nurse with the biggest smile”, thank you for keeping my emotions high. Your demeanor made me feel so comfortable! Last but not least, to Cara the “Raddest Nurse”. How could you forget a girl like her? She was amazing. From the moment she walked in the room, I knew I was in good hands. You were so gentle, and I could tell you cared. It’s often easy to forget about all the people that made this happen, and if I did, I apologize-must be the drugs! I am beyond thrilled with everything so far, and even more, I am so happy to have been surrounded by such amazing people throughout this journey. If you are looking for a place to go, this is the absolute best choice in the South Bay! -Madison Lucci

Ni Jui Liang, MD performed surgery to remove cancer in my arm. From the first visit until the last Dr. Liang and the staff at South Bay Plastic Surgery were amazing. Not only are they incredibly nice and courteous but Dr. Liang is a miracle worker! When my surgery was done I had many stitches and expected to have a horrible scar. To make things even more difficult he had to work on an area where my wife's name was tattooed. Somehow he was able to remove the cancer sew my arm back and you can't even see a scar!!! Thank you so much for your amazing skills and your great bedside manner. I would highly recommend them to everyone. And my wife is so happy that her name is still boldly emblazoned on my arm and in my heart. Thank you again Dr. Liang and South Bay Plastic Surgery Charlie Woods

Great experience with Dr. Liang! I lost over 100 lbs naturally and after my breast looked completely deflated. The whole process was made easy by Dr. Liang and the staff at South Bay Plastic Surgeons. They were very helpful and always made me feel comfortable. I am now 2 months post op from having an augmentation and lift and I couldn’t be happier. They are full and lifted and feel completely natural. I had an overall great experience and I recommend Dr. Liang highly.

Lou at South Bay Plastic Surgeons did an amazing job on my various lines on my face....I have had so many people coming up to me asking what kind of facial regimen I use and I tell them it’s all Lou....I have 3 other friends that swear by her, she is so good at injections...it doesn’t hurt! Thank you Lou and Southbay Plastic Surgeons for your professional service!

Dr. Newman is the best! I recommend him to all of my friends and family! I have had multiple procedures with Dr. Newman and I cannot express how happy I truly am! Dr. Newman and all of the staff were very helpful throughout the entire process. Even on Christmas eve when I had a concern, Dr. Newman himself called me back to address my needs. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Newman and the staff for bringing back some needed confidence into my life!!

After my mastectomy in 2014, Dr. Spenler performed my reconstruction surgeries (insertion of expander then later replacement with implant). I cannot speak more highly of him. Dr. Spenler is an excellent surgeon and a caring person. The office runs very efficiently and all the personnel there helped me navigate my way through the whole experience. I am so happy that 4 1/2 years ago, I chose South Bay Plastic Surgeons to be a part of my journey through breast cancer/reconstruction. I have had zero complications and now happily back to my new normal.

Life can throw some zingers. At 60 I got the news of breast cancer. Modern medicine and superb medical professionals got me through two lumpectomies and radiation treatment without missing a beat with our retirement travels. Then at 68 I got the news that I had breast cancer again. This time I elected to have a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. I had a surgeon for the mastectomy in mind but did not have a clue as to who to go to for the reconstruction. Dr Whitney Burrell came highly recommended by my surgeon. My oncologist was happy with my selection and put me in their caring hands. Dr Burrell is down-to-earth and no-nonsense – an approach that resonates well with me. I looked forward to my weekly visits during reconstruction. Her sunny personality brightened my day. I am now finished and very happy with the results. It is important to find a team of doctors that you feel comfortable with and believe in and that work well together as doctors. I believe it made my recovery so much easier. I highly recommend Dr Whitney Burrell for breast reconstruction surgery. She is a highly skilled and caring plastic surgeon. I also commend the support team Dr Burrell works with at South Bay Plastic Surgeons. They are well trained professionals. The staff works out of a suite of rooms that are nicely appointed, simple, clean, and efficiently organized. My office visits were very pleasant and comfortable as well as timely.

Lou at South Bay Plastic Surgeons made me feel so much better about myself. I have hated, the lines around my mouth, jawls (as I call them) and the lines at the top of my head. It's bothered me for years but I finally did something about it. She used fillers, and Botox to take away the aging I was feeling. I was just around several friends at a party and they said I looked so rested and younger looking, what was my secret??? The greatest thing is no one suspected I had Botox or fillers done. That's what made me so happy. I never wanted people thinking of me ......"OMG what did that lady do to her face". This was so natural looking, nothing drastic so my friends just thought I was taking better care of my skin. I can't thank Lou and the team at South Bay Plastic Surgeons for making me feel younger!
May 17, 2018
Dr Burrel is a very talented surgeon and has such an amazing and positive vibe. I am truly grateful she was the one to do my reconstruction after my mastectomy in 2016. I highly recommend her and her team.
Apr 13, 2018
Dr Mewman is the best surgeon, you’re in the best hands! His beside manners are genuine and he truly cares for his patients. I don’t worry about my outcome because Dr Newman is the best of the best and really cares about his patients! He is helping me get my life back after my double mastectomy and I trust him completely! Thanks again for all you do not just for me but all your patience! 💗

I cannot thank Dr. Newman and his wonderful staff enough for the amazing results from breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy. Dr. Newman is everything one would hope for in a doctor...kind, calm, answers any and all questions, and above all, his work is second to none. If you are looking for a top notch plastic surgeon in the South Bay, look no further.

Everyone there is pleasant and professional. Dr. Jewell is great!

My experience with Dr. Michael Newman and the entire staff at South Bay Plastic Surgeons has been phenomenal from the first visit through my post op appointments! My journey began with a consult visit with Dr. Newman and Yvette, his Patient Care Coordinator. Dr. Newman asked several questions to understand my decision to have breast augmentation surgery and shared detailed information I needed to make the best decision for my body type and size preference. When he exited the fun began with Yvette providing me with a bra so we could determine my desired implant size, then on to 3D simulation imaging so I could somewhat envision the size I selected. Yvette was delightful, humorous, and answered all my questions without hesitation offering her opinion only if I asked. I even received a complimentary SBPS t-shirt...thanks guys! At the surgical center, Dr. Newman's bedside manner was gentle, encouraging, confident and very professional; consistent characteristics I've recognized throughout my pre and post op visits with him. And by the way, my surgery was a huge success, recovery uneventful, and my desired results achieved 100%!! Overall, I can't say enough positive comments about SBPS from the front office, medical assistants, patient coordinators, to my surgeon Dr. Newman. My surgery was in July and I continue to have the same positive experience with each post op visit. Thanks to each of you for making my very serious and personal decision to have breast augmentation surgery one of the best decisions I've ever made!
Jul 17, 2015
This was definitely as good as it gets. Before I went to SBPS I did a bunch of research on who and where I wanted to get my breast augmentation done by, I also work in a hospital and every person I came across gave me Dr. Newman's name to go and get a consultation with him and so I did. It was the best choice i could of made. He was absolutely amazing in every way, he was extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable every time I saw him. I was a B cup before going into surgery we agreed on a mutual size and put in 475cc, I went in feeling extremely comfortable with the size and came out of the surgery feeling even more confident then before. I have always been an athlete and my weight fluctuates pretty often so I had a little asymmetry going into the surgery and the implants completely fixed it for me. I would recommend Dr. Newman to anyone and everyone because he truly is the best at what he does, he looks for the best interest of the patients health and well being and will give you nothing but honest opinions and help you along your beauty makeover. I hope many of you find this as helpful in your decision.

Thank you Dr. Spenler for taking your time with me and always making me feel like all my questions are answered and explained fully. 🙂

Dr. Newman was my fifth and final consult for a breast augmentation. When I met him, I knew he was someone who was trustworthy, knowledgeable, honest, and competent. He's got extensive training with doctors who've innovated breast augmentation surgery. I've gone to four doctors in Beverly Hills and they do not hold up to Dr. Newman's professionalism. His pricing is very competitive and there's a lot of options regarding where you can get your procedure done. His staff is wonderful and registration was an easy process. There's no tricks, no gimmicks. What he says is what you really can expect. I've had some apprehension with other doctors I've seen but Dr. Newman made me feel so much at ease. I'm so excited to schedule my surgery!
Feb 1, 2014
I LOVE SBPS! Dr. Newman took wonderful care of me after my breast cancer diagnosis-I was TOTALLY satisfied & amazed with his numerous reconstruction surgeries for me, as well as his kind and caring concern & response to my needs. I am now blessed to be cancer free & use the other wonderful services SBPS offer! I HIGHLY recommend them, they are awesome and I am forever grateful for their care. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had opted for a double mastectomy. I was given the name of Dr. Newman for reconstructive surgery. I was frightened, and worried. I wasn't sure what to expect or what was entailed. Upon arrival at his office, I was greeted with a warm smile, his office is soothing and I found Dr. Newman to be calm and compassionate. Dr. Newman did the reconstruction, and follow up surgeries. Still unsure of the outcome, I was a bit wary. Treatment of breast cancer can be a long process. Over the course of time, and many office visits, I was always greeted with a warm smile, and always kindness from his staff. Dr. Newman never made me feel rushed or in a hurry. Every step of the process was explained in detail. I was quite surprised how natural my results were. I feel great, I thought I would feel self conscience about my appearance, and was worried about scarring. I have very minimal scars and am so grateful for my outcome. I feel so blessed to have come through this whole process without fear, and I have Dr. Newman and his staff to thank for my easy journey.

Breast Augmentation Options
The key to choosing a plastic surgeon who can give you the results you are looking for is finding one who uses specialized techniques instead of relying on a favorite method and ignoring your individual needs. There are many options available to tailor the results to your expectations. The women who visit us for breast enlargement have a variety of implant choices, particularly when it comes to material, size, and shape. Some patients prefer fat transfer breast augmentation instead of implants. In some cases, your surgeon may recommend a breast lift in addition to the breast enlargement procedure to improve both the shape and size of your breasts. Learn more below about some of the factors you’ll need to decide on prior to your augmentation procedure.
What shape implants should I get?
Standard round implants are dome-shaped. They provide the upper breast fullness that has become popular in magazines and on television. Anatomical implants, on the other hand, are somewhat teardrop-shaped and provide a more natural appearance. With anatomical implants, patients can augment and enhance their breasts and look like they never had surgery.
How do I choose a breast implant size?
Implant sizes are measured in cubic centimeters, or cc, rather than bra cup sizes, which can be inconsistent. You probably have a size in mind that you’d like to achieve, but it’s important to remember that sizes can look a lot different on 2 different women, depending on how much breast tissue they already have. We’ll measure you and make a recommendation that meets your goals. You can also schedule a consultation with our specialist, and we’ll use our VECTRA® 3-D imaging system to see how you could look with different size and shape options.
Which implant material is better saline or silicone?
Our surgeons are skilled in performing breast augmentation using either saline or silicone breast implants. Your surgeon will talk with you in more detail about the benefits of each implant type so you can make an informed choice based on your priorities. Here’s a look at the advantages of each:
| Saline Implants | Silicone Implants |
|---|---|
| Smaller incisions needed because implants are filled after being inserted, which also means size can be fine-tuned | Slightly longer incisions needed because implants are pre-filled |
| Cost less than silicone implants | Cost more than saline implants |
| Saline, a safe saltwater solution, is naturally absorbed by the body in the rare case of rupture | Form-stable silicone doesn’t leak from the implant even in the rare case of rupture |
| It’s obvious when they rupture | It’s not obvious when they rupture, so regular screening to monitor implants is advised |
| Below-the-muscle placement preferred, particularly for patients with little existing breast tissue | Less likely to have visible rippling or wrinkling than saline implants, so they’re a better choice for above-the-muscle placement |
| Firmer, less natural feel | More natural look and feel |
What is the Ideal Implant® made of?
The Ideal Implant represents an exciting new alternative to traditional saline and silicone implants. The implant is filled with saline, but it has baffles, or layers, that make it feel more like silicone. The Ideal Implant incorporates patented technology, allowing it to feel more similar to silicone and more like natural breast tissue. The baffle technology also reduces the chance of rippling or firmness that some patients complained of with saline implants in the past.
The Ideal Implant was approved by the FDA in 2014 with availability to a limited number of surgeons across the country starting in late 2015. South Bay Plastic Surgeons is proud to be able to offer the Ideal Implant to patients in Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Long Beach, and other communities throughout the Los Angeles area. We encourage you to come in for a consultation with one of our surgeons to see the Ideal Implant for yourself. Our surgeons can then help you decide if the Ideal Implant is the right choice for you.

Is it better to get breast implants over or under the chest muscle?
During your augmentation procedure, your surgeon creates a pocket in each breast that holds the implant. That pocket can be in 1 of 2 places: just behind the breast tissue but in front of the chest muscle (left) or behind the muscle (right). The decision about where to place the implant is influenced by physical factors, the style and shape of the implants, and whether you lead an active lifestyle.
- Implant above the muscle: Called subglandular placement, this option is a good choice for women with enough existing breast tissue to camouflage the implants. Visible rippling or wrinkling is more likely when the volume of breast tissue doesn’t adequately cover the implant.
- Implant below the muscle: Called submuscular placement, this option is a good choice for patients with thin skin and little breast tissue. It’s also a common choice for women who are getting anatomically shaped implants because the muscle helps prevent the implants from rotating within the pockets. Implants that are placed below the muscle also allow for better visibility of breast tissue during mammograms. This can be important to women who have a family history of breast cancer.
Which incision is best for breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation incisions can be in 1 of 3 locations. You and your surgeon discuss the benefits of each choice to help you decide which is right for you.
- Inframammary: This is a horizontal incision made just above the crease where the breast skin attaches to the chest. It is the most commonly used incision, and the resulting scar is not visible in a bra or bikini top.
- Periareolar: This is a U-shaped incision made along the lower border of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple). The resulting scar is hidden in the natural color transition from the areola to the breast skin.
- Transaxillary: This incision is made in the armpit. This is a good choice for women who scar easily and are concerned about the visibility of incisions made on the breast itself.
All 3 of these incisions can be used to place implants over or under the muscle.
Is breast augmentation safe?
While there is some risk associated with any surgical procedure, our experienced board-certified surgeons take exceptional care to safeguard your health during and after your breast enhancement procedure. For implant placement, our surgeons use the Keller Funnel which often allows our surgeons to use smaller incisions, reduces contact and handling of the implant, and decreases your risk for capsular contracture. Also, we work only with board-certified anesthesiologists so you’re safely monitored throughout your surgery, and we close your sutures with multiple layers to improve healing. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss potential risks with you so you can make an informed decision about implants and surgical details.
How long does it take to recover from breast augmentation surgery?
Recovery Tips
Prepare before surgery. Prepare a few meals ahead of time, tidy up your house, take care of errands, and have books, magazines, the remote, or a tablet computer at the ready.
Schedule your surgery near the end of the week, if possible. Most of our breast augmentation patients return to work about 5 days after the surgery.
Follow your doctor’s orders. Patients who stick to their plans tend to heal and recover the quickest.
Move around. You won’t be running right off the bat, but it’s important to get up and walk around on the day of your surgery.
The advanced surgical techniques our surgeons use help patients recover with minimal discomfort in only a few days. Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, so you’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 hours. You are encouraged to rest in the days immediately after surgery. Any discomfort is manageable with prescription and over-the-counter medications. Our office can also arrange a pain pump for those patients who are especially susceptible to pain. You will have a special support bra to wear after your procedure, and we will provide instructions for taking care of your incisions, bathing, and other details.
Although each patient’s recovery experience is unique, most are comfortable returning to work and their regular activities in about 5 to 7 days. You should start walking as soon as you can after your procedure, and you can resume other exercise gradually over the following weeks as your incisions heal and your swelling subsides. Your surgeon will clear you for certain activities during follow-up appointments. You can also contact us at any time with questions.

Common Breast Augmentation Questions
What is the best sleeping position after breast augmentation surgery?
Your surgeon will instruct you to sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated for a short period following your surgery. This position allows your incisions to heal undisturbed and your implants to settle correctly. You can achieve this optimal position by sleeping in a recliner or stacking pillows behind your upper body. You may want to place pillows against your sides, too, to support your body and prevent yourself from rolling over during the night.
Are breast implants or fat transfer breast augmentations best?
One isn’t better than the other; they are merely different options for you to consider. There are pros and cons to each procedure, and our surgeons work with patients to determine the best option for their goals and body composition. Fat transfer breast augmentation allows us to take fat from one area of your body using liposuction and inject it into your breasts. This fat transfer creates a subtle, natural-looking increase in your breast fullness and size, but it’s usually limited to an increase of one cup size. Breast implants offer greater variety in size, shape, and profile, and they create more predictable results.
How is a breast augmentation revision different from an initial breast augmentation?
A breast augmentation revision is more complicated than an initial augmentation. Revision surgery frequently involves removing scar tissue, repairing the implant pocket, addressing silicone leakage, and correcting other breast implant issues. Also, we often don’t have all the information we need before performing revision surgery. We not only can’t see what a patient looked like before their initial breast augmentation, but we also don’t always have information about their current implants. In contrast, initial breast augmentation surgeries are more straightforward, and their potential issues are more easily anticipated.
To find out if breast augmentation can give you the enhanced breast size and shape you want, request a consultation online, or call South Bay Plastic Surgeons at (310) 784-0644 and one of our helpful staff members will schedule your appointment.
