"Love Dr. Stevens and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!" ~
Monica (Breast Augmentation Patient)
"My experience was pleasant. The first time I met with Dr. Stevens at my consult he was very personable and enthusiastic about my procedure. He even complimented me on my research efforts. I left my pre-op feeling comfortable that he knew what I wanted. On the surgery day, he was again, pleasant and encouraging. He even joked with me a little about the size beforehand, which put me at ease. I'm thrilled with my implant results so far, I hope I continue to heal well and have no complications as I'm only 2 weeks post op today." ~Breast Augmentation Patient
"I
had my breast augmentation by Dr. Stevens, it's been about
a month now. I got exactly what I asked for. He's great, very talented
doctor with bedside manners. I am very satisfied with my results and
recommend him to all my friends interested in plastic surgery."

The Laser Bra
Dr. Grant Stevens perfected a new technique called the Laser Bra. The Laser Bra uses a laser combined with surgery to correct sagging breasts. For more on the Laser Bra, see The Laser Bra Web Site.
After viewing the incredible way lasers were shrinking the sagging skin on men and women's faces, Dr. Stevens believed that lasers could do the same for breasts, thereby developing an internal brassiere called 'The Laser Bra'.
As Dr.
Stevens explains, "The whole point of The Laser Bra is to create a beautiful,
longer lasting and more permanent lift of the breast when performing a reduction, augmentation
mastopexy or standard breast lift. 
In traditional breast lift surgery,
the skin envelope was reduced in size and tightened. This allowed the
nipple and the areola complex to be lifted. Generally speaking, the
skin reduction performed resulted in skin that was excised and discarded.
As a result
of performing this procedure, Dr. Stevens fashioned an internal bra
using the normally discarded skin along with the CO2 laser to create
a natural long term effect. A CO2 laser is used to de-epithelialize
the patient's own skin and create an internal bra. This laser bra is
then attached to the chest wall, holding up the breast tissue. This
helps create a more aesthetically-pleasing shape to the breast. The
Laser Bra maintains a perky uplifted shape.
