Steve Laverson, MD, FACS

I had a facelift with eyes and laser done by Dr. Laverson about five months ago. I could not be happier with the results! I was scared to have a facelift because I did not want to to have the "done" look. I am so happy I chose Dr. Laverson, he asked me to bring a photo of me in my younger years, and he truly restored me to a younger version of myself. I was a little intimated with some of the pictures others posted afterwards, but I went with my gut and knew I was choosing the best surgeon. After my surgery, I definitely looked scary, however this was explained to me in detail that this is to be expected. After a few days the swelling started to go down and I could see the results taking shape. I get so many compliments on how great I look now and I owe it all to Dr. Laverson! Since my surgery, I've referred two other people to him, both have been happy with their results also. Thank you Dr. Laverson for giving me my confidence back!!!

I had an amazing experience at Feel Beautiful for my rhinoplasty. The staff were very attentive and caring, I never felt pressured to have a procedure done and they were very sensitive since this was a major insecurity of mine. Dr L is very detail oriented and he genuinely cares about your outcome and how you feel in you skin afterwards. My only regret is not doing it sooner as my quality of life has improved significantly and I am so grateful for the care I received!

I have been to Dr Laverson for two surgical procedures. He is a very caring doctor and genuinely cares about his patients. I have recommended my friends to go to him. He is very reasonable with his costs as well. He sees things through and makes sure you are happy with your final result. He cares more about his patients' happiness than the business side and I really appreciate all the time and care he has taken with me!

I saw Dr. steve laverson for a labiaplasty & clitoral hood reduction due to all the same reasons you may be interested in tis procedureS

starting with my consultation: everyone in the office made me feel at ease for what may be a vulnerable and uncomfortable experience. from people working in the front to the kind girls who took me back and prepped me, to doctor laverson, I immediately felt comfortable & confident to go through with this procedure. I was able to get a free consultation a week after I called to inquire. I went in to be consulted on the 10th and was able to schedule my procedure for 11 days later.

The team was flexible and eager to assist me in reaching my goals. unfortunately they do not accept insurance but do have payment plans through those plastic surgery credit cards which is extremely easy to apply for.

At this time I began taking arnica supplements along with a probiotic & turmeric for anti inflammatory & to encourage the presence of healthy microbes in my body as i went into surgery.

to prep I ensured I had all of my necessities readily available so i would have to bend down or walk down stairs. (snacks, medication+supplements, gallon of water, ice packs) along with the care package the provided which includes which hazel pads, bacitracin ointment, anesthetic spray, burn spray, dermoplast, along w pads and application wands.

the surgery itself was a walk in the park (maybe a slightly uncomfortable walk...) I arrived at 9 am & was taken in the back to have photos taken, which felt a little vulnerable but the assistant tia made the whole process feel comfortable and safe.

I then took tylenol xanax amongst other things & then numbing cream was applied.

after setting in for a few minutes doctor laverson used a marker to show me what incisions he would make, along with ensuring i felt comfortable with the plan. he played nice music starting strong with quincy jones. also definitely enjoying speaking with dr. laverson and the assistant tia, super intelligent and interesting people.

then they sprayed some type of freezing agent and began injecting the local anesthetic. it really was not bad at all, especially taking into consideration that they are literally inserting a needle into your clitoral hood amongst other areas. this whole process took around 10-15 minutes i think... once they insured i was completely numb he began tinkering.

at no point did i feel any incisions occurring, i was very comfortable other than the fact i was sitting in a chair with my legs up for a while. i wish i had done a little stretching before as my lower back and tail bone became sore.

at 2 different points i felt a slight poke & immediately let him know, quickly he administered more anesthetic which worked wonderful.

you really don't feel anything until the stitches are placed, and it isn't even painful when you are being "sewn up" you can just feel the thread being pulled (but not in a painful way at all... just kind of in a way that is like: hmm i have never felt this sensation and i feel like i am a teddy bear who is being sewn up after being stuffed with stuffing...)

i began feeling a bit sore in my perineal area but it truly was a breeze. just kind of got bored by the end.

the result was a bit jarring as there had been surgery minutes ago & the sutures made the edges of my labia minora look a bit concerning & with the swelling of my clitoral hood, I was a bit nervous to be honest... but this is apart of the process. I am really hoping everything smooths out & that my clitoral hood will reduce in swelling... but regardless the tissue that bothered me for most of my teenage years/ beginning of adulthood is gone, & for that I could not be more grateful.

I got a smoothie and now I am laying in bed with a pad w/ ointment & my pelvis slightly elevated with a pillow, I am feeling good & going to stay on top of pain management as i feel absolutely no pain currently.

I plan to lay in my bed & heal for the next week and will be sure to keep updates coming.

overall I am happy i did this as the whole process was really easy in regards to the procedure... now it is time for the hard part: healing ! i'm going to put "maybe" for if the procedure is worth it for now as it only happened 3 hours ago, but so far I feel that this was worth it.

I woke up today at 6 am to some soreness and discomfort. slight burning sensation but nothing terrible.

Decided not to look yet as i’m worried about freaking myself out.

I can feel where the incision is & it feels most sore near the bottom on the labia minora, but all in all the pain is entirely manageable, just uncomfortable.

wearing socks is nice so you can kind of scoot around when walking is necessary.

ice and painkillers are my saving grace. I still have not used the restroom which I am nervous about.

pain is similar to bad cramps, but if they were external ?

pain: 4.3/10

i went pee for the first time and used a peri bottle with warm water, i decided to stand in my shower as i didn’t want to sit nor could i predict the direction of my stream due to swelling.. it felt very feral to pee standing. it was pretty uncomfortable.

after i applied ointment & a pad & laid back down with my pelvis elevated.

starting to feel some pain in the right lower area of my outer labia a bit after. took half of a pain killer. it is uncomfortable & just feels like slightly sharp pulling.. always saw people describe the pain as tugging or pulling which i could not visualize at the time, but i now get it.

i texted the incredibly kind assistant about my pain, she said not to worry & that pain can be different bilaterally even tough the procedure is done on both sides.

i decided to stand up to get more ice and i started to feel pretty woozy makes sense as i have only eaten a banana and two percocets. a classic balanced American breakfast. now that i have colder ice, i feel way better.

Two years after my procedure, I had to come here and write a review. I am so happy I chose Dr. Laverson for my labiaplasty. I had researched this for many years and finally decided to pull the trigger and look for a surgeon after the advice of an understanding obgyn. I dealt with years of intense discomfort and constant UTIs from the size and shape of my labia. Its a difficult topic to discuss and Dr. Laverson and his whole staff made me so comfortable and totally understood how hard it can be for a patient. Their emotional support alone helped more than I could have imagined. Dr. Laverson is relaxed and very straight forward which helps with the awkwardness of the situation. And beyond that, he is a complete pro. He is a perfectionist on top of being realistic. He cautioned me against making too drastic a change and assured me that if I wasn't completely happy with the outcome, he would do a complimentary follow up procedure to achieve my perfect results. I must say that the recovery was BRUTAL. Be prepared to lay in bed for days and barely move if you want your healing to be easier than mine was. I would consider having a small revision to trim a little more, but I cannot imagine going through the recovery process again as I am very active. This is becoming a run-on review, but I want everyone searching for a labiaplasty doc to know that using Dr. Laverson is the best choice you can make. My physical and emotional comfort has exponentiallly increased since getting this done. I wish I didn't wait until I was 35 years old!

From my initial consult with Dr Laverson I knew I was going to choose him as my surgeon. I had consulted with multiple plastic surgeons before my consult at Feel Beautiful and Dr Laverson put me the most at ease and I was most comfortable with the treatment plan he suggested. I thought I had an idea of what he would suggest because of my other consults (under the muscle implants and an anchor or lollipop lift and a tummy tuck, or extended tummy tuck as one dr suggested, muscle repair and lipo) but Dr Laverson was the first dr to recommend less invasive procedures. He recommended over the muscle implants and a donut lift, a tummy tuck and muscle repair but did not recommend lipo. This sealed the deal for me because it was obvious he didnt just care about selling more procedures but cared more about his patients and their recovery and results. After I scheduled my surgery everyone at Feel Beautiful was amazing and helpful whenever I called with any questions. 

At my pre op Dr Laverson went over all the aspects of my surgery( donut lift and 415cc mod+ implants over the muscle and a tummy tuck and muscle repair) and I was able to ask any questions I had. At my pre op I picked implants but a few days later I called because I had changed my mind about size and this was not a big deal at all. The morning of my surgery everything went smoothly and all the other nurses and staff who I met for the first time that morning were all great. 

My recovery has been smooth so far and any issues I have had Dr Laverson has responded to quickly and had me come in if he felt it was necessary just to be safe. I have spoken to several other of his patients who have all said that he is quick to address any issues that come up and although I was already happy with my choice this gave me extra reassurance about my choice.

I am currently 6 weeks post op and while I am happy with my results so far I will wait to post photos until I am further along in my recovery and not so swollen anymore. I would 100% suggest Dr Laveron without any reservations to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.

After consultations with several other doctors I met Dr. Laverson and I knew immediately that I would trust him with my tummy tuck. He listened, did not try to upsell to more extensive procedures (as both previous surgeons had done), was very thorough and meticulous, set realistic expectations, supported me during every step of the process, had a really fantastic staff (Kourtney is amazing) and he's absolutely masterful at his art. It's been over a year since my surgery and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. My tummy is gorgeous!

Dr. Laverson and his entire team are simply the best. I knew I wanted to get a tummy tuck after having my twins but was scared about the procedure and couldn't trust just anyone to do it. I went to a few doctors in Los Angeles and I felt like just a price tag. This is the polar opposite of how my consultation with Dr. Laverson went. He was so caring and really heard and understood my goals and safety concerns. His whole team made me feel so comfortable and really took the absolute best care of me. I had my tummy tuck on January 15, 2021 and my life has dramatically changed post-opt. I already love the result and more importantly I have regained my confidence to simply be out in public. I can't wait to see the final results. Thank you for giving me my life back Dr. Laverson!!!!

Extraordinary human being and artist he’s kind friendly and he knows about what he talk about and I would definitely repeat a procedure with this experienced surgeon. congratulations to the beautiful staff that works with him!!

6 days post op today and the pain is very tolerable!

After I got out of surgery, I woke up pretty early and went home right away. I had some water and ate some crackers and took half of oxycodone (was recommended by the anesthesiologist) but ended up vomiting right away. Now that I think about it, I think I was just mainly nauseous from the anesthesia. Dr. Laverson was sooo quick to respond. He prescribed anti nausea medicine as well as hydrocodone. Took both and I felt tons better.

By Day 3 I was feeling a lot less like a vegetable and I was able to get myself out of bed!! By Day 4 I was able to drive myself home and switch to Tylenol.

Now Day 6 and I went to my second post op appointment. Dr. laverson switched out my old tape & bandages for new ones. Although I'm sooo swollen and tight, Dr. Laverson assures me they are healing perfectly. I'm home now and my incisions are feeling a little tender but pain is still very tolerable. Just wanted to update my results so far.

I put on an old bikini top to see my new look! I’m already loving it this early!! I can’t wait for them drop & fluff! I wanted more of a “natural” look so I asked for moderate plus profile. Maybe I should’ve gotten a high profile!

I’m loving the outcome!!! I’m so very happy with my results even now when it’s still early. My breasts are getting softer overtime. It’s still kind of weird to sleep but for the most part they do feel like apart of “me.”
