“Aesthetic Nurse Who Loves Her New Nose - Encinitas, CA”

Rhinoplasty

"In the weeks to follow I had many long-time clients who could not pinpoint what was ‘different’ about me. I constantly got asked, ‘you look amazing, what have you done differently?’ It wasn’t until I advised them that Dr. L had refined my nose that they actually noticed the difference. The change wasn’t obvious but the change was beautiful. I love looking in the mirror now thanks to Dr. L’s precision, eye for beauty, and tender care. I am thankful to work with such a talented Plastic Surgeon!"

“Truly the Best - Encinitas, CA”

"Since I have been coming into Feel Beautiful I have never had such an outstanding Dr. in my life! I have been one of those people who has always had trouble losing weight and most of all been teased about it so trying to fight the gene pool and not getting the boobs like the rest of the girls in my family I finally turned to plastic surgery, one of the best decisions of my life! Dr. Laverson has made such a big impact on my over all out look on life and the way I feel about myself. He has been the best Dr. I could of ever asked for, from the time I first walked into to office to this day. Any problems I have had or concerns I have had at the drop of a dime he was there to help, give advice and make sure I was happy. Again I don't believe anyone could find a better Dr. or staff as the ones I have found at Feel Beautiful!"

“So Happy - Encinitas, CA”

"Dr. Laverson is an amazing doctor. I had a breast augmentation surgery and am extremely please with the result. As soon, as I met Dr. Laverson and his staff, I knew I was in the right hands. I live overseas, so I didn't have a lot of time meet surgeons, but my mom is a nurse and his name was a referral from another nurse. Not only am I very pleased with the result, I was very happy with the care, concern, and love from him. He was very empathetic and nurturing in the post-op. He was also keen to ensure the result was as perfect as can be. I appreciated his guidance on choosing the "right size" implant; and went bigger then I initially intended, and am happy I did. His staff are amazing as well. Flexible, happy, supportive, and understanding. I overheard other patients in the office also express the same sentiment. I highly recommend Dr. Laverson for any procedure and I will likely go back for more in the future! :)"

“Best Nose Job Ever - Encinitas, CA”

"I had rhinoplasty 2 months ago and I LOVE MY NEW NOSE! Dr. Steve Laverson is such an amazing and artistist plastic surgeon. He makes you feel completely comfortable and provides step by step details on what he's going to do. During my consultation, he did little measurements and even drew out my nose. He is super patient and answered all of my questions (believe me, I had a lot!) I visited about 5 other plastic surgeons and he had the best before and after photographs of everyone I saw. I had a very specific look I had in mind for my nose (kate beckinsale) and he gave me exactly what I wanted. The day before my surgery, he called to check up on me. After my surgery he called a few times to make sure I was recovering well. He even gave us his cell phone number so we could reach him at all times. To me, that was a step above and beyond what I could've asked for. He insists on seeing me every couple of weeks to see how I am healing. His staff at the Carlsbad office is awesome and make you feel at home! I would highly recommend him to anyone who is ready for a life changing experience!"

Liposculpture

"Dr. Laverson and his Feel Beautiful staffs in Carlsbad and Encinitas are absolutely amazing in their skills. They provide first class quality services with a high emphasis on customer satisfaction. My results have exceeded all expectations. My friends and family are amazed at how refreshed and natural I look. I'm 41 years old and since the surgery, people are shocked to learn I'm not in my late 20s or early 30s....Now those are some good results!"

“Love My New Body - Encinitas, CA”

Tummy Tuck

"Dr. Laverson and his entire staff made my first cosmetic surgery experience such a joy. After having my child, my body simply did not bounce back like I wanted it to. Thus I sought out Dr. Laverson to make me feel good about myself again. He succeeded! I had both my tummy and my breasts done as well as some liposuction and I have never felt better or gotten more compliments on my body than I do now. From my first experience with Dr. Laverson I knew I was in the hands of an extremely skilled, ethical, and confident physician. I am so thankful that I found this office because I have never been happier!"
