Implants replacement

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

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

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.
