For the Upper Body

Dr. Jewell and her Staff are kind consummate professionals who do a phenomenal job addressing both the physical/cosmetic as well as the emotional needs of their patients. For almost 3yrs, Dr. Jewell has been my surgeon for the various procedures surrounding my double mastectomy and reconstruction. Her level of detail and expectations of her own work are unmatched, and I have the amazing results to show for it. I would enthusiastically refer Dr. Jewell and South Bay Plastic Surgeons to anyone needing the exceptional level of skill and care they provide.

I had rhinoplasty and gynecomastia correction surgery performed by Dr. Michael Newman at the same time. He is an absolute miracle worker! Dr. Newman made me feel comfortable with everything and despite having the surgery 2 weeks ago I look and feel great! I feel super lucky to have found and met him. If you're not aware, he is recognized as one of the best when it comes to both these procedures. Gynecomastia sucked, it was embarrassing and physically hurt. The lumps in my chest really started to bother me in 2018 and became so enlarged I would be embarrassed to take off my shirt. I could no longer hug someone comfortably, sleep on my stomach or even hold my dog to my chest. The process of having a mammogram sucked and I was put on Tamoxifen multiple times. When awaiting my mammogram I was asked if I was waiting for my spouse.. When the mammo doc reported, smirking, it wasn't serious and "just" gynecomastia I felt upset and dismissed. Not once, did Dr.Newman or his staff EVER make me feel ashamed. In regards to my nose, I couldn't breathe through one nostril due to an enlarged adenoid and also did not like the shape of my nose. It was large, crooked and felt it did not fit my face well. Dr. Newman and his team took photos with some phenomenal gear that created a 3D rendering and we were able to adjust the shape of my nose. Way too cool! 2 weeks after the surgery my nose and chest are already lookin superb. I was greeted immediately every visit and after my second visit was greeted by name from all staff members. I never waited more than a couple minutes in the lobby and almost every-time, I was guided into my room upon walking in. I pride myself in remembering names, making others feel welcome and special but wow their team is hands down the best. On my 1st week check up, as I'm walking to my room to see Dr. Newman, I'm greeted by 3-4 of the team members with huge smiles saying how great I looked. Boy that felt nice, hit me in the feels. Make sure you've got someone that can help you out at home cause you gonna need it especially that first week. I'd like to recognize Stephanie, Angie, Nadine, Claudia, Rebecca, Alyssa and everyone else in that office who I can't remember right now but will add as I return. Especially Dr. Newman. They are all AWESOME! Also Dr. Patel, my anesthesiologist. She was another amazing Doctor that made me feel calm right before the procedure. I've never reviewed anyone prior to this and only wrote this to speak on how incredible the entire experience was and has been.

Dr.Liang did an amazing job in creating a fold on my ear that makes it normal. I’m happy with the surgery and recommend Dr. Liang in any surgery that he does because I see the confidence and experience in him while I was in the hospital and in their office. He did 2 surgeries - one on my forehead that had an excess fat and the other were my ears. Both were successful and I’m thankful for having him as my plastic surgeon.

Dr liang is a master. My scalp looked like Frankenstein all stapled together from a skiing accident and now you can hardly see a scar ! Highly recommend him

I had an all around amazing experience at South Bay Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Burrell is brilliant at her job. She made me comfortable from the first time I met her. She listened to what I wanted, asked questions about my lifestyle & recommended what she thought would be the best approach. I knew at my consultation that she was the surgeon for me. I'm in love with my results! I have had practically zero pain post op & I can hardly see where my incisions were made. I definitely credit both those things to Dr. Burrell's surgical skills. I would highly recommend Dr. Burrell to anyone.

My experience was amazing. Everything went planned as how I dreamed. I schedule an appointment and they answered all my questions and inform me about the process of getting the surgery, my recovery was fast and I loved how they still messaged me and cared about how I was doing after getting my surgery done.

I recently did chin liposuction with Dr.Liang and it was fantastic! I have tried CoolSculpting and Kybella in the area, which were great but it was a lengthy process and I wanted to be done with chin. I did it under local and was awake. I was pretty nervous going into it but Dr.Liang and the team were great. Linda was awesome, thanks for the hand holding. <3 I did not feel a thing and the recovery process was smooth. You can hardly see where the stitches were, just a tiny tiny dot if I point it out. I wish I would have done it sooner, such an easy process with fantastic results. I can't say enough good things about Dr.Liang and the staff. Would definitely recommend!

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.

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.

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!!

Was nervous at first but all of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Dr Burell answered all my questions and was very comforting. Would highly recommend, Could not be happier.

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.

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!

The staff is amazing, Doctors and Med Spa are fantastic. You are in great hands if you choose this practice. My skin has changed for the better thanks to South Bay Plastic Surgeons. You won’t regret choosing any one of their great providers!

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

To Ni-Jui Liang,MD I am very happy with the result..! I’m glad choose you as my doctor I give you Thousand stars and thumbs up... Thank you 🙂

Dr Newman and Dr Liang both have great bedside manners!! Dr Newman is a perfectionist in my opinion, I have had a few surgeries for breast reconstruction (due to breast cancer) and I fully trust his judgement when making decisions during surgery, and I am 💯 % pleased with each outcome! The front office staff is amazing as well. The office is warm and welcoming!

Elizabeth Lopez has my akin glowing!! I go every month!! Love love my Aesthetician

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

Dr Jewell did my breast augmentation in October 2018. The result is very natural and I am so happy with it! I am forever grateful to Dr Jewell and the whole team at South Bay Plastic Surgeons. Thanks for advising me and for the amazing result!

Doctors are awesome told me wat could happen wat they recommend gives you time to think about it the ma are very professional aswell

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!

Professionals at work!

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.

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! 💗

The Spa at Southbay. Angelique is amazing at clearing up teen acne! Her skin recommendations help quickly! She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. My teens say thank you!

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!

Dr. Arnstein and Nurse Debbie are the best!!! That made me feel so special and more than just another patient. They genuine and caring. Can't wait to finish my body works, made me feel and look amazing!

Dr. Burrell is AMAZING! I wouldn't want anyone else helping me through turning my breast cancer journey into a positive one!

Doctor jewel was amazing

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!

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.

This group has excellent Plastic Surgeons coupled with caring staff. I personally manage a lot of their pathology cases from their office and Surgery Center; extremely easy to manage. Great Work!!! Josh (Bio-Path)

I know all the Dr's are amazing .. but, I'm a Dr. Spenler girl!! I am in the midst of my reconstruction surgery with him and he is doing am awesome job on my reconstruction! ! 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!

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.

Dr. Newman, Very understanding plastic surgeon. Great person to have as a doctor!

Dr. Jewel is the best...I am five years Breast Cancer free and my reconstruction she did was fabulous...I still get compliments on my Tram Flap procedure! Thank you Dr. Jewel and Dr. Lavia!

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.

I had a lower facelift done. Dr Newman and his staff were not only knowledgable and experienc but were kind and compassionate. Dr Newman knew what results I wanted more than I even did. Could not recommend him and all the wonderful people he works with more

I had a gift certificate to get a facial and it was so nice. They really told me alot about my face and how to take care of it. The staff was so knowledgable and nice.
