Outstanding results

Dr. Laverson performed my tummy tuck, and I’m really happy with the results. He truly has a unique technique that delivers remarkable outcomes.

My case wasn’t easy: I had loose skin after pregnancies, a hernia, and diastasis. On top of that, my journey had challenges - my surgery was rescheduled twice due to his office move, and I experienced serious side effects (collapsed lungs, likely from anesthesia) that required an ER visit. This is major surgery, and it’s important to carefully consider the risks.

I had my surgery in Jun 2024, wore a compression garment for 6 months, and in Feb 2025 underwent a complimentary revision. Now, in Sep 2025, my abdomen looks fit, and I finally feel confident wearing a bikini again after 10 years.

The surgery is an investment, but the results exceeded my expectations. Dr.Laverson provided outstanding care and even included complimentary services to help keep my skin tight, which I truly appreciate. Communication with Cherise has also been excellent!

Dr. Laverson and his staff are so caring and professional.

Dr Laverson and his staff have been so wonderful in my experience. I am so very happy with my results. They have explained everything and walked me through the entire process. They were extremly accomodating and Dr. Laverson is a magician with his C02 laser and breast impalnts. My breasts look so natural and being 52, I feel 38 again. I feel the best I have every felt.

Waking up with a flatter, tighter tummy with confidence was the bet gift I ever gave myself

Dr Laverson was incredibly patient and thorough, taking all the time I needed to explain every detail, calm my nerves, and make e feel completely confident and cared for.

This doctoris the best plastic surgeon I have ever encoountered

I have been to multiple plastic surgions, and been disapointed. Dr. Laverson did a neck lift and eye lift. I had been getting fillers for a long time, and they looked a little better, but Dr. Laverson did a trans fat transfer to the hollows in my cheeks which took decadess and yyears off my face. He helped me when another provider messed up just because. This man is kind, and he listened to my wishes. He did a neck lift on my husband, and I am mind blown he looks so handome, and youthful. If you feel something is off, he immidiately handles it, and his fees were sofai. Honestly, I don't know what I did to deserve the red carpet treatment? The truth is anyone who sees him gets treated like this. His bed side manner is by far the best of any type of doctor I have ever seen. He has been so amazing that if you are looking for help from a plastic surgion, do not make the mistake of even thinking there is anyone who can artfully do what he does. Your dreams will come true!

The ideal surgery is experience

I am very happy with my choice to go with Dr. Laverson for my labiaplasty. It couldn’t have gone any better. He spent a lot of time making a plan during the first consultation and listened to me. I felt very taken care of during the surgery and after. He did a really careful and impeccable job. I did not feel any pain during the surgery. The healing time took a while, but I knew that going into it. By month two I was almost totally normal. By the third month post op, I almost forgot I even had the surgery or what I used to look and feel like down there. I am really pleased with my results and am glad I placed my faith in him. I am so much happier with my body now.
