Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to enhance facial harmony and address structural concerns. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions, symmetry, or breathing function, this procedure combines technical precision with artistic vision. Results offer long-term confidence through natural, balanced aesthetics tailored to individual facial features.
Facelift
Facelift surgery rejuvenates the face by addressing sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of contour. Designed for those seeking a refreshed appearance, it restores youthful definition to the cheeks, jawline, and neck while preserving natural expressions and individuality.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape through implants or fat transfer. This procedure addresses volume loss, asymmetry, or post-pregnancy changes, creating proportionate, natural-looking results that align with the patient's body goals and lifestyle.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery flattens and tightens the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while reinforcing weakened muscles. It's ideal for patients seeking a sculpted core after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty reshapes the labia for improved comfort and aesthetics. This procedure addresses asymmetry, enlargement, or discomfort, enhancing both physical comfort and self-confidence with subtle, natural results.

Report
Since I complained to Dr. Laverson, I have dealt with rude and unprofessional comments made by him during our appointment. During the said appointment, he said that my body looked disgusting and that I had no luck and no case whatsoever. I can't go through another surgery with Dr. Laverson as he has not provided a safe and/or professional environment for me. I do no not trust a Surgeon who lacks professionalism and has little regard for the well-being of their patients.
I am suffering from depression and anxiety because of the results of the surgeries that have been performed by Dr. Laverson. My body looks worst than ever before. Having another surgery with him would be a waste of time and money. I have already had two surgeries with unsuccessful results; it has been very difficult to recover from them. It has also taken lots of time which have also prevented me from working. Since Dr. Laverson has had the opportunity to correct his errors and has instead shown that he is incapable of doing so in a professional matter.

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!

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.

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! :

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!

I had a breast augmentation done here and the results are amazing! Dr. Laverson and Courtney are an absolute dream! From the moment I had my consult they made me so comfortable. Every step of the way Dr. Laverson said "ask me any questions." I had about a handful of concerns before the surgery and he addressed them all thoroughly. I couldn't ask for a better experience!
