Why Choose Feel Beautiful?
Pictures Tell A Story.
The story told on www.feelbeautiful.com is about how some have improved their physical features, what you can do for yourself, and about an artistic surgeon’s passion and style for enhancing the adult human face, breast, and body. These works of art are conceived and crafted to benefit the bearer. Plastic surgery is a reality of modern life, and possible for everyone.
Cosmetic plastic surgery is about dignity, and your ambition to improve. Dignity is the presence of poise and self-respect in one’s deportment to a degree that inspires respect. Self-respect is based on one’s sense of identity and character, and partly based on personal appearance. Plastic surgery and non-surgical aesthetic treatments maintain, restore, or create your best appearance. A little can go a long way. Well done plastic surgery supports your dignity, and fulfills your ambition. Conversely, a poor result detracts from one’s dignity, integrity, and standing. The value of the procedure depends on the result.
Your surgeon should have the highest standards for your result, and aesthetic ideals that correspond to yours. Doctors who really care about you impose upon themselves the highest standard for their own training, and for the care of each and every patient. Dr. Laverson is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and invites you to examine his results carefully.
Fine wine must be savored to appreciate. Likewise, look closely to see and enjoy the difference that a master surgeon can make. Patients are photographed as they visit the office, with or without cosmetics. Important elements in the result are surface contours, the youthfulness and natural appearance of features. Do they appear beautiful and natural to you, or “surgical” and overdone? Did the patient experience visible benefit from their procedure? Pigment irregularities correct over time, can be concealed with cosmetics, and should be disregarded. Photos less than six months after the procedure are still swollen, but approximate the final result.
Because they value him most, Dr. Laverson loves sophisticated and discriminating patients. You are unique, and deserve special treatment. If you’ve wondered about improving a certain feature of your face, breasts, or body, schedule a consultation with Dr. Laverson. He is as determined for you to Feel Beautiful as you are!
How should I find the best surgeon for my procedure?
Because the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the only American Board of Medical Specialties board authorized to train and certify physicians in cosmetic surgery, confirm not that your doctor is “Board Certified,” but that he or she is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Would you go to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist for your breast augmentation? Would you see a plastic surgeon for coronary artery bypass? Of course not!
You should feel comfortable with your surgeon’s commitment to the result you desire, the cost of the operation, his or her ability to manage possible problems or complications, and your surgeon’s results from similar procedures he or she has previously performed. See unaltered “before and after” photos of other patients who have had your procedure if possible. Be sure you like the results your surgeon has achieved for other patients. Consider where your surgeon plans to perform your procedure; Be certain the operating room (OR) is accredited. Verify that your surgeon is qualified to do the procedure in a local hospital before allowing it to take place in an office based surgery center. Many non-plastic surgeons perform procedures in their office that they do not have credentials to perform in the hospital.
Explain Dr. Laverson’s Philosophy, and what differentiates Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery?
Although Plastic Surgery involves specialized techniques, and many procedures demand from the surgeon a high level of skill, judgment, knowledge, and experience, in the end, performance of these operations and the final result is, most fundamentally, a highly individualized artistic gift by the surgeon in the service of another human being, the patient. Performance of this service is guided by the personality of the practitioner. If given with integrity, compassion, high standards, aesthetic vision, and attention to detail, cosmetic surgery may greatly enhance quality of life for the bearer, yielding manifold dividends in social, professional, and personal life. In such cases, value of the procedure to the patient far exceeds the dollar amount they have paid. If the surgeon has been indifferent in his or her training, patient selection, and/or motivation, the result may not measurably enhance quality of life, and may be worth little, less than the cost of the procedure. In reality, the value of your procedure depends in very large measure upon the character, professionalism, and innate ability of your surgeon.
To paraphrase the late war hero, civil rights pioneer, attorney, and Judge, Elbert Tuttle, it is difficult to put an accurate price on cosmetic procedures: If they are done well by a caring surgeon, they may be priceless. If executed without proper indications, care, and preparation, they may be worthless, or worse. Procedures with a great value differential may be identical in name and in monetary cost. Put in other terms, not all facelifts (or breast augmentations, rhinoplasties, abdominoplasties, etc.) are created equal. Choosing your surgeon and understanding the process of plastic surgery is important.
Dr. Laverson chose the name Feel Beautiful for his practice rather than his own name because this is our true mission. The process of plastic surgery, including consultation, planning, the procedure, early post surgical recovery, and development of the final outcome, may be lengthy and demanding. You will need a reliable partner committed to your best possible experience, safety, and result. Prospects seeking information often ask whether Dr. Laverson does this procedure or that, or uses one product or another. These questions are welcome, but techniques and products are incorporated in the service of results, and the desired result, for you to Feel Beautiful, is the premier consideration to address. WHAT YOU WANT COMES FIRST. After that, we decide together HOW to get you there. Every person is unique. Although we do many procedures, we are not about procedures, we are about results. We incorporate the safest, most effective FDA approved products and many innovative as well as proven traditional techniques in the service of our patients’ goals. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, our recommendation is NOT to research price or procedure, but for true value, research surgeon and results.
Is it possible to spend the night in your surgery center?
Yes. For longer procedures or multiple procedures performed the same day (e.g. face and necklift, “mommy makeover”), we suggest overnight stay to be certain of adequate pain control and patient safety. A nurse and nursing assistant monitor vital signs, help maintain your comfort, and immediately call Dr. Laverson if you have any questions or if a problem arises.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Apply for financing online or in our office. It only takes minutes; By the time your consultation is complete, you will know how much you are approved for. We offer several sources of funding to accommodate a variety of credit profiles.
What is Plastic Surgery?
Plastic surgery is named from the Greek word “plastikos” which means “to shape”, based on the surgeon re-shaping the form of the face and/ or body. The name “plastic” has nothing to do with materials used in the surgery itself, although plastic surgical procedures often requires natural or artificial implants of one type or another. Many techniques involve relocation of a patient’s own tissues from one area on the body to another. Other specialized methods involve reshaping existing tissues for a better appearance.
Is there any scarring?
Any time a cut or incision is made in the skin, scar development is part of the normal healing process. Plastic Surgeons are expert at minimizing visibility of scars and locating them in the least conspicuous areas. Often, scars will become undetectable to all but the most careful examination over the course of time. Scars may also be hidden in the hair, along a wrinkle, in the mouth, etc., so they are undetectable. The approximate placement and length of the scar will be discussed before surgery. You may also review patient’s photos with similar incisions.
