Real Stories

Dr. Laverson is truly the best! As someone who has never had surgery before I was pretty nervous about the entire process of a breast augmentation. Dr. Laverson and his team made sure the experience was smooth and that I was comfortable the entire time. From my very first consultation, even when I was indecisive of the size, I was never pressured into getting something that I didn’t want and they always listened closely to what my desired result was. I loved that I was able to come in the office and try on their implant sizes! Dr. Laverson and his team truly care about their patients and after doing my research for doctors in San Diego, I truly feel like I made the best decision with him! I love my results and even after 11 weeks they have settled beautifully and I always get compliments on how natural they look and have already you referred some of my friends to him! Shout out Cheyenne and Joanne for also being so lovely every time I step in the office! Would absolutely recommend to anyone to wanting to get a breast augmentation with him as he is a true artist!

I cannot recommend Dr. Laverson enough. From the very first consultation, he was incredibly patient, thorough, and informative. He took the time to explain every detail of the procedure, answer all of my questions, and made sure I felt completely comfortable and confident moving forward.What impressed me most was that he intentionally blocked off enough time during surgery to focus entirely on my procedure without feeling rushed. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly shows.Although I am still healing, my results already look amazing, and I couldn’t be happier. The care, expertise, and professionalism I received exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in his work, I highly recommend him. Also thank you for his team especially Chayane she’s so caring and took great care of me and communicated so openly. Thank you thank you

Brittany, thank you for your professionalism, patience, listening and your "just do it" attitude. It's been awhile since I've had such excellent service,..I gotta shout it out! 😁" I hope she's not a dying breed".

Dr. Laverson is a magician !My family and I have known him for almost 20 years. He is an absolute genius at what he does. He never over prescribes anything ! Often he is known to talk you out of something he feels is simply not needed.Plastics Surgery is complicated stuff and many bad outcomes even among the rich and famous are all over the place so please choose wisely ! I can't say enough good things about him and his wonderful staff, always eager to help. The RSF offices are a delight to visit.. Brit at the front desk is fantastic ! If you try calling and don't leave a message, she will call you back. Very sincere. She returned my call, and then had the cremes ready the next day ! She called back to double check i was on the way as it got to the end of the day. Dr Laverson, you are a great talent scout as well ! Great team you got there !

Dr. Laverson is an artist! The entire staff made me feel at home, understood and cared for to give me exactly the results I was looking for. Jeannie & Britt at the front desk were welcoming, kind, and extremely helpful for my every need calling to check on me routinely. Dr. Laverson is comforting, caring, hilarious, and the absolute BEST at what he does. Always able to help with any of my concerns, made sure to get me in for any additional appointments and was always easy to get ahold of with any questions. I have been to him several times for plastic surgery and will never be going anywhere else! For the absolute best results, and to find some of your favorite people ever, look no further!

I had a surgery performed by Dr.Steven Laverson and I could not be happier with the results. And I am only 3 weeks post surgery!

I came in for a no peel peel facial and loved my results! I was helped by Jeannie and she took care of me really well. I had never gotten any sort of service like that before so she walked me through the process with ease! Not to mention the drive is beautiful out to rancho Santa Fe. I’ll be back for another visit soon. Thank you Jeannie!

Dr. Laverson has a keen eye for beauty... what looks good, and natural — nothing "overdone". I felt taken care of the whole way through. I feel like a fresher version of myself, which is exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend him!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Steve Laverson at Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery since 2008, and I can’t say enough about how incredible he is. Over the years, I’ve trusted him with multiple procedures, and every single time the results have been amazing.Dr. Laverson is the rare combination of an exceptional medical professional and a true artist. He has a meticulous eye for detail, understands balance and proportion, and genuinely listens to what you’re hoping to achieve. His work is always natural, never overdone, and enhances your own features beautifully.From consultation to follow-up, he and his team are consistently professional, kind, and reassuring. I always feel safe in his hands and confident that I’ll love the outcome. Even after all these years, I’m still excited to continue my treatments with him because I know I’ll be thrilled with the results.If you’re considering any kind of aesthetic procedure, I can’t recommend Dr. Laverson highly enough. He is truly an amazing doctor with both the medical expertise and artistic talent to help you look and feel your best.

I had a virtual consultation with Dr. Laverson about two weeks ago, and I really appreciated how he took his time—I never felt rushed. I was feeling pretty down and discouraged after a previous procedure that didn’t go well, but he offered kind words and reassurance that honestly gave me some hope and helped lift my spirits.Today, I saw him in person for a steroid injection. He has such great bedside manner—very thoughtful, gentle, and you can tell he genuinely cares. I’ve been struggling emotionally and even lost a lot of weight because of how I felt about my appearance. But again, he gave me some encouragement, and it really helped. He just makes you feel good about yourself, and that’s something I know I need to keep working on.Also, Cherise at the front desk is such a gem—you can hear the smile in her voice, and she’s even sweeter in person!When I’m ready for a facelift in the future, I already know I’ll be going to Dr. Laverson.

It was an amazing experience as I was quite nervous for the co2 laser procedure. They made it so calming and explained step by step as they were conducting the treatment. Extremely caring and made it very clear that the Dr was available for any concerns at any time, day or night. This was valuable to me and made me feel consoled

Really appreciate Dr. Laverson's sense of humor and the fact that he never rushes through appointments or with procedures. He is very patient / customer-first. I can't tell you how many times he has said if you are not happy with X for any reason, please communicate with me and I will tweak it until it is perfect. When it comes to Botox, I have never had Botox "stick" the way it does with Dr. L and he is able to avoid pulling on the right side of my forehead near my eyebrow, which, having gone to many other plastic surgeons and NPs in the last 10+ years, is challenging. With other procedures -- filler in the face, filler in the lips, etc. -- he is very tasteful and brings artistry to the table. I always prefer to walk out the door looking better, but still natural (sans platypus lips or an overfilled face). Dr. L is careful to administer just the right amount of any substance, to the right places, for undetectable beauty. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a surgeon who combines impeccable skill with true, genuine compassion, then Dr. Steve Laverson is the one.After spending over a decade contemplating a breast lift and consulting with numerous doctors, I knew immediately upon finding Dr. Laverson’s site that he was the right choice - and he truly exceeded every expectation I had from start to finish. He is a doctor who not only listens to you but truly hears what you are saying, and that is so rare to find. Dr. Laverson took so much time with me in every appointment and made sure to fully answer every question and be present with me.His realistic approach gave me peace of mind about what could be achieved, and the results are more incredible than I could've ever imagined. His attention to detail in surgery was REMARKABLE.This isn’t just any surgeon. His work reflects his commitment to artistry and patient care. I am so honored to be a patient of Dr. Laverson, and whole heartedly would recommend him to anyone.

Best doctor !

I’m grateful to have drawn Dr. Laverson as my trauma surgeon at Palomar Hospital after I injured myself. He’s a very experienced surgeon who cares about his patients and does an outstanding job of communication. He went out of his way to help me after the surgery even though I’m not part of his primary business. He told me, “life is short, do what you love.” Good advice from a good guy.

Dr Laverson at Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery is a very skilled surgeon! He's the Best! He also is Amazing at Botox and Fillers! I had an Upper Lip Lift, this is a great and quick procedure done in his office with little downtime. Permanent younger looking lips! I highly recommend this procedure!

I’ve had a fantastic experience with Dr Laverson and his team. Very competent, professional, communicative, and trustworthy. I love my results already even though they’re not fully healed and can’t stop looking in the mirror! I’m incredibly happy and grateful.

I had a procedure at Feel Beautiful. Dr. Laverson was extremely attentive and addressed all my concerns. I was nervous on my first appointment and had a lot of questions. He took the time to answer each question in detail. The entire staff at Feel Beautiful are kind and caring. My surgery is beautiful and I would highly recommend Dr. Laverson at Feel Beautiful for any cosmetic surgery.

I had a donut breast lift and was very pleased with my results, Dr.Laverston was very respectful and helped me understand which kind of procedure is best for me

So pleased with the professional and kind staff at Dr. Laverson Feel Beautiful cosmetic surgery! Dr. Laverson made me feel very secure and I understood every single step throughout surgery. I am so pleased with the results and want to share with you and all my friends! This is the doctor and place to be… no need to search any further for cosmetic needs! Thank you so much!

I had a breast augmentation at Feel Beautiful. I felt well cared for and safe the entire time. All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. My recovery was super fast. I didn’t need pain meds after 3 days. After about a year my implants dropped a little lower than I liked and Dr. Laverson fixed the issue and encouraged me to come back anytime because he wants his patients to be happy with their results. I can tell he truly cares. I would recommend him to anyone. I also had my lips filled and they look perfect and natural. .

I would recommend Dr.Laverson and his amazing team (Kourtney, Tia, and Cherise) in a heart beat! Everyone was kind and knowledgeable. I got a breast augmentation done about a month ago and loved every step of the process. Never once in my consultation did I feel pressured but felt as if all my concerns and questions were answered. Dr. Laverson is very detailed and thorough and I am extremely happy with my results. Thank you Dr.Laverson and team for the great work you do!

Everyone in this establishment is sweet caring and tried to do the best to make sure I am taken care of. They have checked on me several times and made sure all is well. Thank you !

The decision to undergo any surgical procedure should not be made lightly or quickly and I spent several years contemplating this (and researching providers before choosing Dr. Laverson). While the discomfort during and the duration of post-op recovery were greater than I had anticipated, the outcome has been excellent (now more than a year later). Probably the greatest compliment has been that I look like myself, just younger (which is exactly what I wanted). Dr. Laverson’s approach is to ask what each patient would like to see and then do just that (not more!) - much appreciated!I can’t say enough nice things about Dr. Laverson and his staff (Courtney and Cherise) - they were kind, supportive and responsive. I received excellent post-op attention and care and have recommended them to several friends (who have asked for referrals after seeing the outcome of my surgery).

The first thing I looked for was that the doctor had all the certifications and experience, also the anesthesiologist as that was the part I was more scared of. Then, I went to the office and we talked about the procedure, he mentioned that he would leave it based on my ethnicity. I liked that because it was realistic, and it made me feel safe so it would look more natural. After that I got some pictures taken and received a drawing of how it was going to look. After our in person appointment, I had several follow up conversations with his assistants, they answered over text message to all of my questions and were very nice. I went there one more time in person just to talk about everything all over again and the doctor explained to me everything very calm, so it made me feel safe.The day of the procedure everything was very clean and the instruments looked all new. The nurse was super nice and that also helped me feel calm. I don’t remember anything once I went to sleep, I don’t even remember counting down or anything. I just remember waking up.The days afterwards I didn’t had much pain, it was all good with just Tylenol. Actually most of the pain was on my neck because I had to sleep at an angle. After the first week, the doctor removes the bandages. They tell you many times that it’s going to be swollen but I feel like nothing can prepare you for it. So if it was up to me I would probably not look at anything until the second week, when the swelling starts to improve that’s when you feel better. You just have to remember the swelling will take up to a year or even more.After the third week is when everything looks more normal, starts to blend in. One thing that was helpful was that the nurse takes a picture right after the surgery is done when you are still sleep. Look at that picture to remind yourself how it’s going to end up if everything goes well. That should take away the stress of having so much inflammation for the first few weeks.Right now it’s been 4 weeks and already looks so different from the first week. I am very very happy with the results. I can tell it was done professionally and it blends with who I am, it doesn’t look artificial.The doctor and his staff were very professional and kind, and they have all the certifications so you can feel safe.

I have been to Dr Laverson for two procedures. He is very caring and you feel genuinely looked after and he ensures you are happy with your final result. I really appreciate all the time and care and patience he took with me. He seems to really love his work and making people happy. I recommend him to my friends and feel grateful to have been his patient!

I recommend Dr. Laverson to anyone who may be interested in plastic surgery. He is an artist and a perfectionist, and he genuinely cares about his clients. He takes time to answer all your questions and make sure you feel good about everything. I can’t say enough good things about his staff. The whole team at Feel Beautiful is an absolute pleasure to work with. They’re amazing. They have made me feel comfortable and supported from day one. I’ve had 2 different procedures done there and both experiences went perfectly.

Dr. Laverson completely changed my life with my rhinoplasty. I was extremely hesitant about getting plastic surgery for a long time but all of my concerns were put at ease when I went in for my consultation. Dr. L is very kind and TRULY cares about his patients, it was apparent he wanted the absolute best outcome for me and my surgery. I work in healthcare so I know a good Dr. When I meet one and trust me, he is the best! His staff were very helpful and attentive, I had the best nurse of all time, nurse Tia! The prices are transparent and they opened on a weekend to get me in so I would have enough time to heal before my wedding, it was more than I could have asked for! I am less than 6 months from my surgery date and the swelling is going down continuously and my result just keeps getting better. I think the photos really speak for themselves, I only wish I would have done this earlier!! I could keep going on about how satisfied I was but I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Dr. Laverson and his team.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Laverson and the entire Feel Beautiful team—they are adeptly skilled and incredibly professional, and provide exceptional personalized care and attentive support. I appreciated the communication with Dr. Laverson about expectations for surgery, recovery, and results, and I went into surgery less anxious than I anticipated, confident I was in good hands. Kourtney and Dr. Landon, the anesthesiologist, called me the day before surgery and Tia called the day after, even though I was due back in the office for a follow-up less than a day later—these check-ins with me meant so much. I am five weeks post-surgery, and I am feeling beautiful inside and out! I am grateful to Dr. Laverson, Cherise, Tia, Kourtney, and Dr. Landon for guiding me through this process, and I am happy to recommend Dr. Laverson and the Feel Beautiful team to anyone seeking plastic surgery.

I can’t express enough how amazing my experience was with Feel Beautiful.Starting from the moment I walked in, I felt respected and the staff are all so kind. I’m an aging fitness instructor that has to compete in a world of young and beautiful people. After some health set backs I was left with some scars and some other issues that really bothered me.Dr. Laverson has a fantastic way of talking with his patients to make them feel at ease but also is an incredibly gifted plastic surgeon. Even though I’m still healing I’m feeling excited about my end results and am with where I am so far.Thanks to everyone at Feel Beautiful for helping me Feel Beautiful!

I have gotten great care with Dr Laverson and his staff. One thing I appreciate is how he doesn’t waste my money. I saw two additional doctors to get an opinion on a lip lift before I choose this office. I considered additional procedures, and he let me know where I would get the best results and where he felt it wouldn’t make a difference. I’ve always felt he was being honest and realistic about results and I’m happy with with how it turned out. Also, I’ve had Botox with aesthetician’s nurses, almost always had bruising, I’m very fair and just thought it was normal. I never get bruising here!

I always love going to feel beautiful and seeing dr. Laverson. The front desk girlies cherise and kourtney are amazing!!

Since you’re being ~NOSEY~ & doing all the research you can (rightfully so), here’s my story: I wanted a nose job since my early teens. I wanted to get rid of the bump (from the side profile), make my nose less projected-out from my face, & also make the nose & tip smaller (from the front view) —I wanted a barbie nose. And A BARBIE NOSE IS EXACTLY WHAT I GOT!! I’m absolutely IN LOVE WITH MY RESULTS (and I’m only 1 month Post-Op —it’s so awesome to see the swelling go down each day as it’s getting more & more defined). Dr. L’s methods were great —I didn’t bruise at all, the pain got to a 4 like maximum, & it was overall a super easy recovery. I feel so confident & wish I got my rhinoplasty done with him yearsss ago!!!The staff (Courtney & Charise) & Dr. Laverson are so friendly, kind, assuring, super helpful, & very patient. I was so impressed with how quick they answered all my questions & how thorough they were with everything. Also, the office is gorgeous & immaculate —it felt warm & welcoming, & it’s the first Doctors office that I’ve ever actually been excited to go to each visit. I am 100% referring everyone I can to have their cosmetic work done with Dr. Laverson. If I could give “Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery” 10 stars I absolutely would!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

Very beautiful women

I don’t know where to start! I called several places to discuss a mommy makeover. From the start of my consultation at Feel Beautiful, I felt welcomed and not pressured ( just what I was looking for.) I had four pregnancies, and my body wasn’t the same after. I would work out daily and eat healthy to achieve the body I wanted, but it was never enough. I felt at ease when I met Dr. Laverson and his assistant Kourtney. This was such a big decision for me. Once I discussed with Dr. Laverson my goals. He understood what I was looking for and never once tried to change my mind. He showed me many results from other women and discussed what he could and couldn’t do for me. He sent me home thinking about what I wanted and about our discussion. I decided to do it! I felt comfortable and relaxed with Dr. Laverson and his team. From the moment of my appointment, I got phone calls and emails with instructions and asking if I needed anything or had any other questions. WOW! They were awesome! When the time came for my surgery, every nurse I met was so lovely and sweet; everyone to the AN made me feel comfortable. Everyone on Dr. Laverson’s team that walked into the waiting room asked if I needed anything and went through everything they would be doing. Talk about not feeling nervous! They all made me feel super comfortable. The day after my surgery, I got a phone call from Dr. Laverson asking how I was doing and if I needed anything. I can go on with all visits and phone calls and how they made me and my husband feel. I just know that I made the best choice for myself. I want to say THANK YOU to Kourtney for holding my hand and answering all my questions. She is the best! A BIG THANK YOU to Dr. Laverson for my excellent results! Beyond my expectations and much more, I’m almost 3 mpo; I feel great, and the results are showing!! I can’t wait for the full recovery!! If you are thinking of having a makeover and want a great doctor and seeing results immediately, see Dr. Laverson and his Fantastic Team!!

If you want a doctor that truly cares about you and fantastic results, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Laverson more. I plan to come down from Los Angeles for him because out of 7 consultations with different doctors, he was the only one that proved not only consistent incredible results but his whole team (including cherise and the beautiful dark haired nurse) make you so comfortable.Dr. Laverson is a gem, and if you find him, you’ve found the only person really worth booking any procedure with. He is so respectful, kind, and really listens. I am so insanely grateful to have found him and his team, and could not recommend them more.Do yourself a favor and go with Dr. Laverson, for a five star experience every step of the way.

I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. I'd done my research and consulted with other doctors; however, I didn't get the knowledge or level of care I received when I met with Dr. Laverson. He and his staff were very patient with me. They all made me feel comfortable. I didn't feel silly or embarrassed by any questions I had. I wasn't a price tag. I was a person. There were no upsells! As matter of fact, the doctor spends a great amount of time educating you on your request and making sure you know all the pros and cons. He wanted me to be well informed about my choice.His bio was both interesting and impressive. I skimmed through over 300 reviews, and they all had a common theme - this man knows what he is doing: he's an artist.After the consultation I called a friend and said, "I found him!" Dr. Laverson is brilliant. He has excellent bedside manner. I am more than pleased with my outcome. If you ask me, I wouldn't trust my body with anyone else and neither should you.

Thank you sooo much to Dr Laverson and the rest of the team at Feel Beautiful. He is a perfectionist and did an immaculate job and I’m more then pleased with his work. Thank you all again

Dr laverson is amazing. Due to an injury I received I had to have the tip of one of my fingers amputated. It was a very Trumatic experience but Dr. Laverson helped me through it every step of the way. Came in for multiple follow ups he was very confident every time I saw him that he would help me get through this injury. Helped me every step of the way to work through this injury. If I could give him more than five stars I would. At least 10 out of 5 stars.

Feel Beautiful is an amazing clinic consisting of kind-hearted people from the moment you enter & through & after the end of all your procedures. I had a great experience with Dr. Laverson who did my breast augmentation & I could not be happier with my results. He took the time to make sure I was sure about exactly what I wanted & provided me with great knowledge. Cherise at the front desk is so sweet & Kourtney is wonderful, too. Thank you for my wholesome experience! (:

Dr. Laverson is amazing. Two seconds into my consultation I knew that he would be the best. Extremely confident, knowledgeable, caring, outstanding bedside manner, and a very talented surgeon. Dr. Laverson took his time, I never felt rushed, he explained everything so clearly, I was never pushed to make a decision, and he took his time answering any and all questions I had; have not experienced this level of care before. Thank you Dr. Laverson for a great experience.

Dr. Laverson exceeded my expectations. He truly cares about you and your results. He is a dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate Dr. Upon entering the medical office, the staff was kind and welcoming. Dr. Laverson took the time to answer all of my questions. He properly informed me about my procedure including pre-op, surgery and post-op. After my surgery, Dr. Laverson also followed up to ensure I was on a good road to recovery. Dr. Laverson and Courtney's professionalism, dedication and hard work made this whole process wonderful experience! They were also very easy to get a hold of and have questions answered right away.Dr. Laverson is incredible and I would highly recommend Feel Beautiful San Diego Cosmetic Clinic to anyone looking for an exceptional Dr. and staff.

Dr laverson is an amazing doctor. He’s professional, respectful & caring of his patients. He’s professional but not where you are scared to ask questions. He will give you his doctor opinion and consider what you are asking for. What I appreciate about dr laverson is he’s not money hungry. He’s not gonna say yes you because he wants your money. He has realistic expectations and tells you what they are. And the after care is exceptional from him and his staff. 5 stars for Feel Beautiful & Dr Laverson !

I can't say enough about this office! The staff and doctor are amazing- very professional but super sweet and genuine. My surgery was flawless! I love the new me and Dr. Laverson always made me feel comfortable and was easy to talk to. Special shout out to Kourtney, she's wonderful! Anyone lucky enough to have her assisting them is in great hands. But the entire staff made me feel super at ease and welcome and relaxed. Thank you team!!

As I do not take any type of surgery lightly, I did extensive research into many of the plastic surgeons around the San Diego area and feel extremely fortunate to have decided on Dr. Laverson. He performed multiple surgeries on me all of which had amazing outcomes. Both he and his staff made me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire experience from consultation to surgery and post op follow-ups. I can not recommend him enough! If I have any other plastic surgery needs I will definitely be going back to him.
