I've been putting this review off for far too long, mostly due to my own apprehension to "put it out there" that I've had work done. But you know what?? I've spent 47 years eating right and working out...and after seven babies, I feel I can say with confidence that I DESERVE to have had this procedure done to correct what nature gave me/took away from me. After spending literally YEARS debating this issue in my head, I finally decided to have my "trouble areas" (which had been with me essentially since birth) addressed with liposuction. I had consultations with several different PS's throughout the county over the course of the past year, but none even came close to making me feel as positive and confident as Dr. Laverson did about this surgery. I knew right away when I met him that I would be scheduling ASAP, which I did by phone the very same day, after discussing it with my husband. Jennifer was so awesome, and was able to get me in just six weeks out. I was so excited! Cut to surgery day (no pun intended), I woke up before the sun in my hotel room, less than five minutes from the office. I had decided a few days prior to book a room, rather than fight commuter traffic from Oceanside down to Sorrento Valley. So glad I did, as it set the tone for a stress-free day, and my hubby would later Uber down and drive me back home in my car. Dr. Laverson and his whole staff made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole experience! I was not even remotely nervous or concerned, but felt invigorated and empowered by it. I woke up from anesthesia with little pain and no nausea, just very groggy, which is of course typical. A few hours later, I was released and on my way home. By the time I reached the comfort of my sofa, the pain meds had started to wear off and I was feeling a bit uncomfortable. So my better half gave me a dose of Percocet, which Dr. Laverson had prescribed at my pre-op visit. Within minutes, the pain was gone and I was fast asleep. I woke up the next morning feeling stiff, but in no pain. I never took another dose of the Percocet, again. Of course, whenever you have a procedure such as liposuction done, you must wear the dreaded surgical garment. I'm not going to lie, they are very tight and restrictive, but they are there for a reason. Thankfully, I only had to wear mine (which went from just below my breasts to below my knees) for the first three weeks. I was so relived when I went back for my second post-op, and Dr. Laverson said I could forego that Chinese torture device! I am now almost three months out from my surgery, and as SO very happy and satisfied with my results. And for the first time in my life, I feel confident wearing yoga pants and skinny jeans, without the need for Spanx underneath! I definitely believe I chose the right surgeon, without a doubt. And when the time comes and I've saved up enough to have a (much needed) tummy tuck, you can rest assured that it will be Dr. Laverson doing it! So, THANK YOU to everyone at Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery, you are all just amazing!!
