My intension for writing this review is so that no other woman has to go through is. I swear this is the truth and no exaggeration. I will also show pictures.
6 months ago I went to Dr STIEVE LAVERSON from FEEL BEAUTIFUL.
I know him personally and trusted him completely. I went to him for a breast augmentation due to a rupture in my right breast. At the same time my left breast had lost some shape and we discussed making them symmetrical. I liked my size and asked to stay the same size. B cup . I wade 110 lbs. I had a good body image for my age so had no desire to be bigger. I was unable to tell the Dr exactly the size of my implants so he said he would have to guess. ( In his notes he guessed 300cc. )
I requested that he please have more than one choice as he was guessing. We discussed going over or under the muscle( I was under at the time) to over the muscle as the Dr was nervous about any leaked silicone causing a problem.
I was also told that my scars may be on my breast. So I knew what to expect.
Pre op drawings on my body looked good to me.
When I woke up I was shocked at the size of my breasts. I thought they must be really swollen. I could feel and squelch the fluid under my skin. It made a funny noise when I touched it.
I noticed that when I lay on my back the implants moved under my armpit and was very painful especially on my right side. ( he did more work on the R Breast ) The R implant also moved across my sternum and was also very painful.
When I went in for my post op appointment 2days later. I asked the Dr what size he took out. He told me 250 cc . I asked what he put back and he told me 410 cc. I was shocked . Gob smacked. What part of I don’t want to be bigger did you not understand??
When I asked him why ? Dr Laveron’s his first answer to me was. Quote” don’t you want and like attention ?
I answered “ not that kind of attention. “
I felt completely violated.
I was upset and the Dr became defensive.
Dr Laverson then took the fluid out of my chest with a special needle and said Quote” this is why they pay me the big bucks”
Let’s just say I found his jokes highly inappropriate.
I asked him why they were under my armpits even though I was in a surgical bra, and he answered
Quote” oh that’s just where they decided to settle. “ Blaming it on my body and not taking responsibility for opening up my breast pockets so he could stuff the oversized implants into my body without attempting to stabilize them.
For months I went to see different doctors to decide who to go to.
When I told dr Laveron that I’m going to need a reconstructive surgery and that I unfortunately had lost trust in him and wanted him to pay for my reconstruction he first refused. Then dismissed me out of his office.
As I left I said ok, I’ll just have to press battery charges and walked out.
4 days later I got an email from his office offering me my money back. $10.000 for 5 yrs of silence. This contract would clear the doc of any future problems yet he could take legal take action against me if he needed too for $15.000.
Upon a layers advice ($400. Later ) I was advised to add a mutual silence clause.
I agree to the contract and signed by day.the contract expired as long as there was a clause for mutuality.
Dr Laveron did not accept adding the clause and my signature and my time had run out. ……
He refused to see me right by giving me my money back or paying the $15.000 for my redo.
I am finally going to get these grossly oversized implants corrected by my amazing Dr tomorrow DR APOSTOLIDES So far it has been a totally different experience.
I’ll let you see how it turns out.

Hello , I sued Dr LAVERSON and won in small claims. He is now contesting it in superior court. If you or anyone else had had problems with him please reach out to me.

Yesterday I had my redo breast augmentation with DR APOSTOLIDES to fix up the BOTCHED jot by Dr LAVERSON.
I am already feeling better haven taken out the 410cc size D cup that Dr Laveron squashed into my small frame of 110 lbs . His comment to at the time was he wanted me to look hotter.
How dare he.
I am now back to a B cup of 255cc. My side pockets have been fixed and so has my midline.
I now have a 2 month recovery and look forward to getting my life back.
Shame on you DR LAVERSON for not taking responsibility for YOUR actions.

I had no idea how different the anesthesia and care affects our recovery. Compared to my last surgery at Dr LAVERSON I am recovering much faster. I recommend being treated by a surgeon who works at a hospital and not their own office.

I had a similar experience with Dr. Laverson who botched my lip lift causing one side of my lips to sag and not respond when I mile. He also botched my blepharoplasty and made it worse with a revision. He took no responsibility at all, saying that I came to him to change my appearance. Unbelievable. SHAME ON YOU DR LAVERSON for not taking responsibility.

I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope you have managed to get some piece of mind.

Just curious--did you intend to give Dr. Laverson this 4 out of 5 star review? It sounds like he doesn't even deserve 1 star after what he put you through, so I just wanted to make sure. Hope you're healing well!

I gave this rating so more people would possibly see it. He definitely deserves a 0 rating from me.

The medical board is investigating DR LAVERON. Don’t be fooled by his ratings. .

The MEDICAL BOARD IS INVESTIGATING My Case against Dr LAVERSON . He disfigured my body by making my breast huge agains my request to stay the same size, a small B and made me a DD to satisfy his own sexual fantasy and his response when I asked him why he did this to me was. ‘ don’t you want attention. I just wanted you to look hotter.
. I am all of 100 lbs at the moment and even though I had a full reconstruction to fix his mess I am still suffering the consequences. It outraged me that he can still practice and do this to other people. He has ignored my request to see him.
DR APOSTOLIDES did a great job under the circumstances of repairing my breasts even though they are still not the same in size or shape. I am reminded of DR LAVERSON’s abuse every day and hope I can get some closure.

To anyone you has had a similar experience, I am so sorry you have had to go through this. I wish you peace of mind and a way to move on even though it is not always easy.
Blessings your way.

who do you contact for reporting him, My friend went and he botched her eyes
March 26, 2024
Omg! My breasts looks similar to yours and he left permanent scars on me, then blamed my body for the significant asymmetry. I am trying to get financially compensated because he disfigured. Is there a way we can connect?
