Patient Testimonials
Good morning Dr. Stevens, I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks to you, for two years following my enhancement, I am still so very very happy with your work. I remember intrusting you with the sizing, for I was teetering between a B-C cup, and didn’t want to go too big for my body type. I have to tell you that you were just RIGHT ON, and people are usually surprised if I reveal to them that they are implants. Everyone compliments that they are so well proportioned to my body — and that really pleases me. Thank you again for the wonderful work, and I constantly refer you to people who are interested in implants. Actually, I work with a woman who is interested in a lift, and I have given her your contact information, so hopefully she will get in to see you for a consultation. This simply reminded me of how happy I am with my procedure, and wanted to take the opportunity to pass along a message to you of THANKS.
Sincerely, Lori O.
Dear Dr. Stevens, Just wanted to follow up with you after 21 years. You gave me a breast implant years ago in your last month as chief resident at Washington University. I was a nurse there and got a great deal financially having ‘students’ do surgery and anesthesia. To make a long story short, I saw you interviewed recently on some celebrity related program my daughter had on. I thought of meeting you in 1984 or 85 and how you told me that your dream was to work in California - helping beautiful women stay that way! Congratulations on living your dream. Your bio and web site are great. My implants are GREAT, still. I am nearly 50 years old and have soft, shapely, healthy 36C breasts. Not only that, but I have breast fed babies since the surgery without any problems. Just thought you might be interested in some of your first and finest (!) work.
Good luck and continued success, Pat A.
I am thrilled with my new gummie implants. I had been considering breast implants for several years, and waited a long time for several reasons. Mainly, I wanted to make sure the procedure was safe, that I would look natural, and that I found the absolute best doctor to perform the procedure. After doing a lot of research, I am happy that I waited to get the gummies and feel fortunate to have found you through my friend’s referral. I had also heard about you through a surgeon’s office in England. I had a terrific experience under your care. I was very nervous to have surgery performed. Your nurses and staff were knowledgeable and caring, and assuaged my concerns. From Charlie, who shared with me her personal experience, to Patrice, who helped me with all the necessary arrangement before the surgery and was with me after the surgery, and the rest of the gals in the office. I was surprised at how little pain I experienced and how minimal was my bruising post surgery, considering what some of my friends had experienced (under the care of other surgeons). I know that this is directly related to the skill of the doctor, and I’m relieved to have felt as little pain. My scar is hardly noticeable (3 months post-op). My breasts are absolutely beautiful! You helped me to choose the perfect size and shape for my small frame, which look very natural and make my body more proportionate. You are an incredibly talented surgeon (and artist!). I can’t tell you enough how happy I am with them. I made the right decisions going with the gummies. I have very body fat and natural breast tissue, and the gummies feel like they are already a part of me. Best of all, they look and feel amazingly real. My friends who have saline implants are envious, and one is considering replacing hers with gummies. I would refer you to any of my friends who chose to have breast surgery. You are absolutely the best! Please feel free to use any of my comments on your website. Also, If you have any patients who are considering thesurgery and would like to speak with a patient, I’d be more than happy to relay my personal experience.
Warmest regards, Suzanne S.
I just wanted to thank Dr Grant Stevens and his great staff of what a great job they did making me feel confortable before and after the surgery. Sincerely, D.N. Dr. Stevens, I want you to know that I am so pleased with the breast implant surgery that you performed. It has been only 8 weeks and there is NO scar (I can’t believe that!) and my breasts are the size and shape that I have always dreamed of - they are beautiful! ALL of my friends think that they are the most natural looking that they have ever seen. You have no idea of how happy you have made me. I have two friends that are coming to see you - they want exactly what I have now, I told them to use my name. Thank you for listening to me and giving me the natural look that is so hard to find. L.C. Dear Dr. Stevens, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for being the wonderful surgeon and person that you are. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and results from my breast surgery this month…you are truly an artist. I’m looking forward to seeing you again at the beginning of October for my follow-up appointment. Stay cool!
All the best, Deena R.
I had my breasts done about 9 years ago by Dr. Stevens. He was recommended by my friend. I got a lifetime warranty on my implants and everyone says I have the best most perfect boobjob ever, they can hardly tell that they are not real! He is the best ever, and I would never have anyone else touch my body. In fact I have recommmended him to everyone. I want him to do my nose next.Hhis staff is kind, sincere, honest and helpful. They are very comforting, very beautiful women.
Thank you, R.J.
Dear Dr. Stevens and “The Girls”, Thank you all for your many kindnesses and for all the thoughtful ways you made my decision, surgery and hospitalization nearly painless. The flowers were an extension of your kindness and caring, for which I am very grateful. Thank you all so very much.
Sincerely, J
Dear Dr. Stevens and Staff: I can’t believe that four months has passed since my breast reduction surgery. I have been so thrilled with the results. It truly has given me reason to go on to further improve my health and appearance. I feel lighter and I do stand taller. My friends ask me what have you done to yourself? My breast are actually better than they were when I was in my twenties and early thirties. I will turn 55 on August 21 and realize that the aging process can now be an exciting one. My husband suggested I consult with you after watching a report on NBC news of the “Stevens Bra Lift” He knew that the one part of my body that had once been firm and full was now beginning to sag becoming uneven and uncomfortable and I was just about to give up trying to do anything about it. What he did not know is that you were recommended to me as one of the best plastic surgeon’s in California and that I had been planning to consult with you when the time was right for a face lift. As a flight attendant with a major airline we are constantly sharing health and beauty information with flying partners. Your name is one that is both recognized and respected. Whenever I come to your office whether for a facial I realize that I am being provided with the most advanced procedures available today. Please add my name to your list of happy patients. I would recommend any person who is considering any type of cosmetic or esthetic procedure to first consult with you and your staff. Thank you all at The Institute for your compassion and brilliance.
Most sincerely, D.B.
I want to thank you for making me feel more like a woman. Before my [Breast Augmentation] in 12/01 I was very flat chested and always had this longing for a more shapely figure. You have given me confidence I have forever longed for and a body that my boyfriend tells all his friends about. I give your name to every girl that tells me how beautiful my breasts are. They are all envious. I love you Dr. Steven’s.
Love Always, SM
Dear Dr. Stevens, When I was in the office for my follow-up a couple of weeks ago I saw you so briefly, only having time to ask you a couple of questions and then you had to leave. I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how happy I am with the results of my surgery and how happy I am that I chose you to perform it. I have friends (2) who have had this surgery and I have seen a couple performed on the Discovery Channel. In seeing and experiencing these others, I have a great appreciation for what an outstanding surgeon you all. My recovery has been without a hitch and I couldn’t be happier with the shape and size of my breasts. It’s a whole new, comfortable world for me. I feel very smart and very lucky to have found you.
Thank you again. Judy H.
