  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I would not do this procedure again

My results ended up crooked, I was offered a revision for free but the pain was not worth a maybe improvement. I would have done a lip flip instead to go back. I would also like to note that the nail in the coffin for me was when I was sitting in the waiting room and a child's face had been mauled by a dog and needed emergency reconstruction. When Dr. Laverson heard he offered to go in on Saturday his day off, and help this family for free, it melted my heart but what unfolded next angered me to my very core. His manager Cherise who was already such a b*tch gets the caller off hold and says, "he doesn't do that kind of thing" whaaat??? He just said he would, you could see the pain he fealt for this child. But not her, nothing, void of emotion. I had considered having a tummy tuck before this had happened and had put a deposit down, after this incident there was no way I wanted anything else done there. I tried several times to get a refund from Cherise, it ended up taking 3 months due to a refund policy I had never been made aware of.

Day 9

Stitches were taken out yesterday, and I'm just so happy to be able to leave the house again. Still not entirely sure if it's going to be symmetrical or not, but I could not be happier that my nose went back to it original size. I almost stopped caring about the lips when my nose was disproportionate to my face. I was to scared to post day 5 because I really struggled with how swollen I looked between the lips and nose. Today is entirely different. I will probably start dermarolling my scar in a week or so to get the skin to even out especially on my right side. So far so good though, definitely excited!

Day 3

Day 3 definite upperlip swelling. Tried to eat my first real meal today, the chewing just tugs at the stitches so I think I'll stick to protein shakes, who knows maybe I'll even lose weight from this,lol. I've only had ibuprofen today because the issue is one of swelling more than pain. Definitely an underlying fear of what the heck did I do...

Extremely Cerebral, I had 100% faith in his abilities. He is Confident but not Arrogant which can be prevalent in this field. I obviously liked him because I've had the means to do this for some time now, and couldn't pull the trigger until meeting both him and his very friendly staff :)
