Implants replacement

$15
Just want everyone to ( the cost posted isn’t correct, the cost was 20,000$ )know I’m still around and please do not go to Dr Steve Laverson, located now in the Carmel Mountain area. He botched my breasts buy putting in 50cc more than I requested, the worst part was he did NOT separate the breasts in the middle , in other words that caused my left breast to slide over to the right and then I had one gigantic breast, I then ask him to fix it, and he said well you have to pay for it. WHAT the blank? So I went to three board certified DRS in my area of Encinitas, all of whom were horrified . My choice was to go to DR Gupta , whom agreed it was a terrible result , but he really did a great job and was very nice too. The botcher acted like mammastia , ( problaby spelled incorrectly) he had never heard of and he didn’t

Response from Dr. Laverson:
While your explanation is not totally inaccurate, important details are omitted: You were self oversedated by prescription medication you never disclosed to us you were taking. High dose life saving corticosteroids your pulmonologist administered in intensive care impaired your healing and caused tissue breakdown and symmastia. Your follow up elsewhere for repair cost you $22,000. more than you would have paid here, but provided no better outcome. Best wishes always, Steve Laverson, MD

Bad implant surgery
JWOLFEApril 26, 2018
TERRIBLE, he treated me like I was a imbecile, my leaking implants had to removed as they were leaking silicone. He put in too big of implants, and I was left with symastia which he denied, he wouldn’t fix the problem unless I paid him more money. I ended up in the hospital with a over sedated and so sick. This Dr used so much antistesia, I should not have been allowed to go home that night. So I had to go to a real dr, Dr. Sangay Gupta.
Not really sure about the first name. He is a very very professional dr. He said I had extreme symastia, wrong implants. This cost me another 25k I didn’t have. I am still considering a lawsuit, I’m sure I will win.

I have seen my ps and am all set up to get the old leakers removed, new ones and a lift, also a tummy tuck. I am 60 yrs young with ugly scars on my stomach from a few previous operations not to mention the sagging skin, I have always wanted a nice flat stomach, and though I weigh 123 lbs, it has always stuck out. I would love to hear from anyone who has gone through these 2 procedures at the same time. I'm scared about pain and how long I will be laid up. I love my ps and several years ago he did some neck scar revisions, he is an artist. Name is Steve Laverson MD in San Diego.

I'm sure you'll do great as long as you keep on top of your pain meds. Take them as scheduled even if you don't hurt yet, bec then you might get to a point of pain if you wait too long.
I plan to get a mommy makeover in March 2017. Tummy tuck, breast lift (no implants), lipo and fat graft. I can't wait.. im excited! And I'm excited for you! It's never too late to do something that'll make you feel more comfortable in your own skin ;)

Misjudged, thank you for the encouragement, I realize no one will see the actual work , after all I'm 60 and would not be caught dead in a bikini, but these implants a mess according to the MRI, and have to go,
I sorta got the tummy tuck included because my hubby wasn't in the exam room, but he was cool about it. I bet you can't wait until 3/2017
Good luck , you are likely much younger than I am so you will look amazing!

I just now saw your reply! Thank you, yes I'm getting excited. I had to push my surgery just a tad further out to April.. but not by much. April will be here before I know it. And yes, I'm actually 30 years old.. I'm getting this done while I still have the desire to wear a bikini! Lol. How are you feeling? You're getting super close?

Hope your surgery goes well today and that you'll update us afterward. Good luck...you'll do great!

BethH, thanks for the concern unfortunately I am left with a horrible result by Steve Laverson, Do not ever go to this dr!

Disaster requiring a total surgery by a specialized in cases like mine, the Dr Steve Laverson never even said sorry and won't return my money, never use him for any type of breast or tummy tuck procedure, he seems to have changed in personality
May 17, 2017
After the surgery it was a disaster and I now have to endure another long and painful surgery, of course I would NEVER use Dr Laverson again!!!!
You ladies must not use this dr ever

Horrible results and Dr Laverson of SanDiego left me botched, I now have to have a very specialized DR. Dr Laverson never said I'm sorry, not to mention won't give my money back.

I went to Steve. Laverson for the exact procedures and he botched my breasts sooo bad and the tummy tuck wasn’t complete, please change your mind about him, go to Dr Gupta in south , North county,ca , please reply what you decided.m
