About 5 months post op and couldn’t be happier

Had breast augmentation surgery and Dr. Stevens and his staff made me feel so comfortable. I was nervous and the day of surgery went so well. Everyone that was involved made me feel like I was in good hands. I’m about 5 months post op and couldn’t be happier.

Transaxillary Saline Implants

I decided to get breast implants after my 2nd baby sucked the life out of my breasts. I lost 2 cup sizes after breast feeding, and my breasts were noticeably asymmetrical. Dr stevens was the best reviewed in the area. My husband's ex wife had hers done there and she let me take a good look and feel lol. Hers looked great so I booked mine! Updated on 15 Oct 2021: It hasn't been 24 hours yet. I feel pretty good, as long as I don't move much! The discomfort is 80% tightness and 20% pain. I choked on something today and the coughing hurt sooo bad! I've only taken half of a Norco 3 times since surgery. Updated on 25 Dec 2021: I'm pretty happy with my implants. I feel like they're the perfect, natural size for me. They feel like they belong on my body and no one would guess they're fake. I am back to normal activities. Some things still feel weir, but not painful. My implants are under the muscle so that feeling will probably take getting used to. You can't even see my scars. Updated on 12 Feb 2022: It's crazy how much they change over time. If you aren't feeling confident about your implants, be sure to give it time. I think they look very natural now. They feel like they are made for my body, I'm very happy with my results.

Couldn’t Be Happier with my results from Dr. Stevens!

I couldn’t be happier with my breast augmentation results from Dr. Stevens. They look perfect and I have no visible scars. He beyond exceeded my expectations and I am thrilled with my results. His staff is great too. My overall experience couldn’t have been better.

Tummy Tuck and Liposuction of abdomen and flanks

Yesterday was surgery day for my TT and lipo of abdomen and flanks. I was most fearful of the pain following surgery. I feel great. It’s mind blowing. Nurses woke me up from surgery @12 and I was wide awake until about 10pm. Pain is just a tightness and almost non existent. If these first couple of days were supposed to be the worse then it’s smooth sailing. I can’t wat to see my results tomorrow at my first post op. Updated on 20 Oct 2020: Today is 1 week since my surgery. Moved from the recliner to my bed last night and slept really good. Woke up feeling good and able to pick up a bit around the house, put make up on and shave my legs sitting on the edge of the bathtub. I went to have my drain removed and that was painful but fast. I also got my stitches in my bellybutton removed and didn’t feel it at all. I’m cleared to take a shower now and don’t have to go back for another appt for 3 weeks. The most pain I’ve felt from all of this is in my lower back while standing. im sure the more upright I get the better that will feel. Excited to be on the next step of healing.

I recently had my breast done and I must say he’s AMAZING!

I recently had my breast done and I must say he’s AMAZING! I had ZERO PAIN, top heavy and uncomfortable sure but no pain, no bruising and my scares are small and under my armpit. I don’t think I can say enough good things about him and his work. Not to mention I gave him an idea of size but left it to him and I’m so happy I did.

100% Highly Recommend

I have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Stevens and his office! A few months before my wedding one of my breast implants had popped from a previous surgery with a different doctor. I was already unhappy with my breast augmentation with that dr so going back to them to have my implant fixed wasn’t an option. Dr. Stevens came highly recommended so I gave his office a call and told them what had happened. They worked with me and worked incredibly hard to get me in right away. I was already happy with my experience there. Then upon meeting Dr. Stevens I had full confidence in him doing my replacement. Now after my surgery fully recovered I have never been more in love with how my breast look and feel! He really went above and beyond not only replacing the one implant but both and fixed issues I had from my previous surgery! He showed he cared in talking to me and I can see it in my results after surgery! There‘s not enough words to explain how happy and thankful I am! Wedding planning is already stressful so something unexpected as a breast popping could have sent me over the edge but they took care of me and my wedding day was nothing but perfect!

Tomorrow is the day!

My original date was June 17th. They called me last Thursday asking if I can come in on Monday since someone needed to reschedule. I’m so excite but very nervous! Tomorrow evening I’ll have boobies! I decide to go with 590 HP. My stats are 135 lbs and 5’2 wish me luck!!! Updated on 10 May 2019: Omg I love my new girls!!!! I decided to go with the 590cc HP under the muscle saline. Day of surgery was HELL! That night was so much better by 9pm. I stopped taking my last pain med at 11 pm and after that just took Tylenol. First few days have been great! So happy I went through with it! They are still high but doing my massages to help them drop. Updated on 13 May 2019: I am feeling good! Just a little sore. I do have a burning sensation when I touch my right lower breast. It just feels like everything is trying to stretch. My left breast it feels like there is a air bubble. Hoping this is something that goes away. I can feel it when I move my left arms certain ways. I put on zip up sports bra and it makes my boobs feel more supported. Other than that I’m loving the size I went! Updated on 22 May 2019: 2 weeks post op and I love them!!!! Wish I would have done this sooner! Air bubble feeling is gone! Still a little numbness under breast but other than that things are good! So happy I went with 590cc

Breast Reduction

Amazing breast lift/reduction results!!!

I am now 10 days post-op a breast reduction/lift and felt it was important to leave a review detailing my experience. I decided to disclose my specific procedure because I could find no reviews by other patients who had the same surgery; which would have been helpful to me when doing my own research. Dr. Stevens was recommended by a friend who had multiple procedures under his care and was consistently happy with her results. Just a little background on me - I am a mother of two, who spent a solid two years of my life breastfeeding. Fortunately, I also have medical background that was helpful during this process. Surgery is a big decision and I consider myself to be a person with exceptionally high standards, which is why I researched everything in depth beforehand. After educating myself as best I could about the procedure and reading reviews online, I took the plunge and made an appointment with Kendel, the physician liaison. Kendel was friendly and knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and provided realistic expectations. I met with Dr. Stevens thereafter and was pleasantly surprised by his honesty and down-to-earth nature. He was very professional which I feel is important when dealing with a topic so sensitive and personal. After I met with him, I felt confident about the surgery and had a good idea of what to expect. The day of my surgery I was nervous, but after meeting with Dr. Stevens and the anesthetist felt more at ease. Dr. Stevens had a calm, “business as usual” demeanor that made me even more comfortable. Before I knew it, I was waking up in recovery and ready to go home! The pain was minimal, (nothing compared to a c-section for those of you who have had one). I was given a number to call if I needed anything at any time of day or night. Dr. Stevens called me himself the night of my surgery to make sure I was okay, which I thought was pretty awesome and accurately depicts the sort of person he really is - the caring, compassionate sort. On the third day after my surgery my bandages were removed to reveal perfect, perky breasts. I nearly cried because I felt like I was seeing what I should have been born with. My result was exactly what I had asked for and even exceeded my own expectations. I already knew to expect scarring, (there is no way around that with this type of procedure) but his suturing is wonderful and I expect the scars to fade significantly with time. I am physically more comfortable and overall a happier person! My confidence has been restored! THANK YOU Dr. Stevens from the bottom of my heart. You have changed my life for the better and I would not hesitate to return to you should I ever decide to have another procedure. I would recommend you to anyone considering a surgery. �

35 Years Young, 2 Kids, 5'5 170lbs - Visalia, CA

Let me start by saying I'm overweight for my height...Before my first Ba I was a 34a and I had decided to get my breast done due to having a baby and no longer having a chest, so I had decided to get 510cc under the muscle, round saline thru my armpit. Which set me at a 34d and that was 11 years ago. So I needed to get them redone since it had been over 10 years so I went to 750cc hp under the muscle, smooth and now at 36ddd I'm happy but seriously kind of wish I went to 800cc
