Book NowBecause Dr. Laverson is an excellent surgeon, your operation here will be slow.
Anesthesia is safe, so Dr. Laverson works harder and likely a bit longer for your best result. Operations he performs may last longer than similar operations performed by other surgeons. Designing the operation to meet your special needs rather than producing the same cookie-cutter result for everyone takes time. A superior level of care takes time. Detail takes time. Multiple layer suturing for stability and durability takes time. Visualizing nerves to protect sensory-motor function and preserving other critical anatomy by precise surgery takes time. Checking and adjusting the effect of every step (iteration) of the procedure and relationships between parts takes time. Artistically creating subtle, naturally beautiful contours from existing anatomy takes time. Re-positioning you to examine results while you’re upright takes time. Closure under magnification to conceal scars takes time. Quality and perfect execution take time. You will NOT get SLOW everywhere, but you’ll get it here. Because we do MORE for you, it takes LONGER. Surgery is complex, and great surgery, even more so. Our higher standards demand more from us. For Dr. Laverson, every procedure involves preparation, technical wizardry, and intense, continuous focused concentration from beginning to end. Because it’s the only result you’ll ever have and will be part of you forever, it must be a spectacular production. He does it right, by the result you need, NOT by the clock.

Background & Philosophy
Known as an artist even before high school, Dr. Steve Laverson attended the United States Naval Academy on a Congressional Appointment from 1975-77, and graduated first in his class at the University of Maryland in 1979. At the University of Maryland Medical School in Baltimore, Steve decided that plastic surgery was the best fit for his artistic ability, his love for beauty, and his compassion for all populations.
Not one to abide short cuts, after medical school Dr. Laverson completed training in both general surgery and plastic surgery as an intern, resident, and fellow for ten years. He learned and operated at many esteemed institutions with great surgeons at University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania, Emory, UCLA, USC, Stanford, and other respected centers. Dr. Laverson attributes his strong surgical confidence and technical skill to lessons absorbed during those years, in particular, his chief residency in general surgery at Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) General Hospital in South Central Los Angeles. Perhaps the busiest trauma center in the world when he was there, MLK mandated a humanitarian service approach, and provided continuous opportunities for independent management of all types of major blunt and penetrating trauma. This experience was a crucible for the development of broad applied anatomical and physiologic knowledge, mature surgical judgment, technical excellence, and a sound foundation for a lifetime of intangible professional confidence and expertise that is not widely available.
Dr. Laverson trained in plastic surgery with the largest and longest in existence private practice in the United States, the New York Plastic Surgical Group. Dr. Laverson passed oral and written board examinations to become certified by the American Board of Surgery (1992) and by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (1995). He re-certified in Plastic Surgery in 2005, and participates in the American Board of Plastic Surgery Maintenance of Certification Program Annually. Dr. Laverson is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, and has operated Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery in San Diego, California since 1993. Steve held a variety of clinical and administrative positions at local hospitals and contributed to peer reviewed journals such as Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, Journal of Trauma, and others. His passion and professional focus is cosmetic improvement of the face, breasts, and body.
