Worth ItTummy Tuck

I Had Amazing Experience

She is amazing!! Very professional and polite. Her staff is amazing as well. Michelle, Nancy and Diane all are always there to help me. Nancy and Michelle always called back and keep me posted. I would recommend Dr to my friends and family. Updated on 25 Feb 2025: Just had a really great experience at Doctor Lacerno's office and wanted to share! The staff was super friendly, the wait time was short, and the doctor actually took the time to listen and answer all my questions. Nancy, Michelle,Bianna, Piaa cant thank you enough for all your help. It’s not every day you leave a doctor’s appointment feeling this good, but they really made the whole process easy and stress-free. They are ready to help! If you’re looking for a place that actually cares, I’d definitely recommend checking them out!

Worth ItLower Facelift

The Place All Those in the Know Come.

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Lacerna at LA Plastic Surgery she is definitely an artist with any procedures you need done. What I truly love is if you are not happy she is not happy Dr Lacerna only has your best interest and results foremost in her treatment of her patients. She has helped me feel more like my younger self which is invaluable to me. She and her staff are absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in the door you feel at home. Everyone is so kind and caring that I actually look forward to all my follow up visits and care from my surgery. I do not even have the words to express how wonderful everyone is here and the amazing work that is done from surgery to facials and everything in between this is the place to come. You always leave with a smile in your heart.

Worth ItFacelift

I had an amazing experience!

I had an amazing experience! I’m a registered nurse and did an extensive search for the best surgeon for my facelift and was so happy I found Dr Lacerna! It was way more than a facelift like all of the other surgeons do. I couldn’t be happier! Her nurses and staff are amazing too!

Worth ItMommy Makeover

Just a short note to thank you for the surgery you performed on me and how pleased I am with the results. I had a good feeling as soon as I met you and it was well-founded. Your staff was so pleasant and professional and I really appreciated their help as well. Dear Dr.Lacerna

Worth ItBreast Augmentation

I am so happy

Everyone at LA Plastic surgery waspolite and professional. Dr. Lacerna and Dr. Kimberly treated me kindly and put me at ease. The staff, including Nancy, Mia, Pia and many more were kind and thorough with their care. I am so happy that I chose this group to take care of me.

Worth ItRenuvion

Mommy Makeover--CURVES!

From the very beginning, Dr. Lacerna made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. She talks you through and explains exactly what will help the area that you're concerned about! I ended up going with a Mommy Makeover; implants, 360lipo, Renuvion skin tightening and fat transfer to my booty...and I am SO SO SO glad that I did it! I wish I hadn't waited. Dr. Lacerna knows EXACTLY what size and shape...she's an artist! I tell everyone to go to her now! My husband loves my curves...it's not too much...most people don't even know that I've had work done....unless they see me in a bathing suit! I've had 5 children and I work out...but Renuvion did AMAZING things for the loose skin on my tummy! I don't have the skin that hangs down anymore at all! I had another Doctor tell me that I had to get the skin cut off to make it go away but Dr. Lacerna didn't...and she was right! Renuvion worked! I love my body! I want to have my neck and arms done with Renuvion next!

Worth ItLiposuction

My Amazing Experience @ LA Plastic Surgery

La Plastics is where I had my liposuction and 360 Renuvion Skin Tightening procedures. I walked in and thought that I wanted a tummy tuck. Dr. Lacerna came in shortly after my wait. She listened to what I told her I was wanting to accomplish. She explained the procedure and also gave me her personal opinion on what she felt for my body would do better. It was actally less money than what I was expecting to spend. I am so HAPPY with the results 6 months later!!! I also did some filler in my lips and they look fantastic! Her lymphatic drainage massage woman is a Goddess! I did several of these a few days after surgery and they were a life savor! The staff and the cleanliness of the facility were top notch ! I would highly recommend them for someone new to plastic surgery. I may at a later date include photos, but at this time do not feel comfortable. My photos are available at her office of my before and after.

Worth ItVenus Legacy

I can tell my skin is tightened up and my pouch is lessened

I have been disappointed and struggling with a belly pouch for years. I have always like my weight and size but the stomach pouch was annoying! Thankfully I found a solution that worked for me and I finished my package and see and feel the difference! I can tell my skin is tightened up and my pouch is lessened. Not completely gone but certainly improved. I M going to have my chin “contoured and tighten”. I bought another package when I moved to Laguna so in total am going to have 12 sessions completed! It’s super easy to get done and not painful! It is very warm so I enjoyed it especially on rainy colder California days.if you have about 300 dollars to invest in yourself try it but I think package is the way to go because I saw major improvements after 2/3 treatments of 25/30 minutes.
