Disappointed - Breast implant revision, tummy tuck, corner lip lift

I am a 26 year breast cancer survivor who has a very difficult experience with left breast reconstruction. After several failed attempts by surgeons covered by my insurances, I opted to go private and pay the price. After a lot of research I picked Dr. Laverson: I have an existing real right breast so was only opting for reconstruction in my left breast. I will admit the eventual outcome is acceptable but I ended up having two surgeries at the cost of over $12K because he convinced me to insert an implant that was too big (in the first surgery) and it rotated and created lumps in my expansion. The second surgery has a smaller implant (at my insistence) but I still could have gone smaller.

Since I was pretty happy with the final implant, I decided to have a tummy tuck (menopausal and scar tissue issues) which turned out just OK. Although I don't really care about the scar, it is very unsightly and irregular. At the same time he convinced me to have a corner lip lift telling me it would make me "look younger and happier". It has been a nightmare!!!! It left unsightly scars and a irregular lip line. After 4 revisions I am left with unsightly scars, an irregular lip line and marionette lines I did not have before. I look older, not happier. Every time I look in the mirror I want to cry.

I wish I could recommend Dr. Laverson. He is a nice person and his office staff are outstanding. BUT after spending a total of almost $30K I ended up being scarred for life and I cannot in good conscience recommend him.

The PROs: Dr. Laverson and his staff are friendly, professional, and caring. I never had difficulty making appointments and every procedure was explained. Dr. Laverson does not actually encourage plastic surgery but exudes a confidence that procedures will be beneficial.

The CONs: Unfortunately every procedure I had done did not turn out well.
I am breast cancer survivor and went to Dr. Laverson for a left breast implant revision. I had already had several implants that were too big and I was wanting a smaller one which he did not agree with. I went bigger than I wanted, and then ended up having another revision but again not as small as I wanted. I was not listened to.

But that experience didn’t keep me from getting a tummy tuck which turned out very odd with dips and hollows that just don’t look right. Then he offered to do a corner lip lift he said would make me look younger and happier but it has been nightmare. After 4 revisions my lips are deformed and I have marionette lines at each corner that I did not have prior to the lift. I actually look older than I did.

As much as I personally like him, I would not recommend Dr. Laverson.
