Grant Stevens, MD

Scam… the Cool sculpting does not work… tried 3 sessions. it’s a scam. Don’t do it.

Doctor Stevens is the best, he did an amazing job, all the nurses that work over there are beyond nice they treat you so nice every single time. They are always there even if you are just freaking out they will always make time for you to make you feel better or just to calm you down. Doctor Stevens made me feel that i was in the best hands! I felt that he listened to my needs and what I really was looking for I was over the moon with the absolutely perfect impeccable job he did! If you are looking to have plastic surgery this is your to go place!!! I would give him a thousand stars but they only got 5

This review is addressed to anyone who may be thinking about getting a breast reduction. I can not tell you how comfortable Dr. Stevens and his staff made me feel. Everyone at Marina Plastic Surgery was so gracious and kind, it was almost hard to leave. I’m so happy with the results and I would recommend Dr. Stevens to any one of my friends or family!

Had breast augmentation done by Dr. Stevens. One breast was higher so Dr. Stevens corrected for no additional fee (a plus!) — told me they are «sisters & not twins». Thought that was the purpose of BA — to correct flaws! Next, had lipo & BBL based off of results I saw on 3 of his staff. Also provided pictures of desired results to Patrice, his nurse. She assured me she would share with Dr. Stevens. Two ½ months later, and I am NOT satisfied with lipo & BBL results. Now I have a boxy, unattractive look from behind. Looks worst than my original silhouette. Requested a heart-​shaped figure-​8 look. Butt is not lifted. Lipo areas look the same as pre-​surgery, and look NOTHING like the photos provided or the particular staff member I asked to replicate. Dr. Stevens insist it will be 3 – 6 months for full lipo results. Have numbness on back of one thigh, and discoloration/​darkness on buttocks & thighs. Also have thigh cellulite that wasn’t there before! He also recommended I return in 6 months and do the procedure over again to get the look I desire for the BBL!!! This was a very difficult & painful surgery, and I do not desire to go through it again. If Dr. Stevens could not get me the specific results I desired, he should have fessed up and not take my money. I will now work out more consistently and do Pilates & a bunch of squats in hopes of correcting what he failed to do! I do not know how many African-​American clients he has done the BBL on, but based on my results, I’m thinking not many. I based my decision to use him based off of the great butts I saw on his staff. Now I sincerely wonder if he actually did their surgery. Oh yeah! I had to go back 2x post-​surgery (2 – 4 weeks later) to have stitches removed from my belly button & pelvic area that they forgot to remove at my 24– HR follow up appt! I was told that happens sometimes!!! The compression garment was a prototype, and fit horribly. We were instructed to cut the butt section out to make it more comfortable. Did I mention his dismissive attitude when my husband & I expressed our dissatisfaction with the results? Great bedside manner pre-surgery/consultation…not so much post-​surgery! I do NOT recommend Dr. Stevens and will not return for any additional follow up appts. I feel like I went through all of the pain/​agony and paid almost $ 10k for NOTHING!

Dr. Stevens runs a very professional and warm office. His staff is easy to speak with and always available for a variety of questions on topics even the little trivial ones. You never feel as though your time is less important than his and he makes you feel that any undertaking is a partnership between the both of you. His work is a wonder to behold and there is no doubt that he a gifted artist in his field. With Dr. Stevens you can be sure of an amazing and realistic result. Great bedside manner which is a rare in surgeon. I would recommend him for anything from head to toe.

I am 43 and have 3 kids ages 12 – 5. Although I lost all my weight (5’5, 135/​size 4 or 6) and worked out regularly (crossfit/​hot yoga), I had loose skin and stubborn belly fat and my breasts were saggy (36C). However, I was terrified of surgery. I feared the worst and thought I was being irresponsible for wanting to voluntarily put my kids’ mommy at risk. I really struggled with this for a long time.
Well, after seeing many doctors, canceling two previously scheduled surgeries, and neurotically researching everything to do with Mommy Makeovers (MM), I finally decided that I was never going to NOT want to do this and I was either going to put up or shut up by my 43^rd Bday. I decided to put up.
I chose Dr. Stevens for my MM (breast lift, tummy tuck, lipo of abs/​flanks/​hips) for various reasons. First, his credentials are impeccable and unmatched. He basically did the study on the safety of MM and coined the term. Second, I was sold years ago on his Stevens Laser Bra procedure when I discovered it online and knew that if I was going to have a breast lift, I wanted him to do it. His pictures of breast lifts with no implants were the best I had seen and I liked the idea of having a natural internal «bra» to maintain my results. (Also, the fact that there is no loss of sensation was a plus). Third, I had two separate consultations with Dr. Stevens about one year apart and I really liked his bedside manner. He didn’t try to sell me on anything I didn’t need or want. Each time, he told me I didn’t need implants and assured me that I would have great results with only a lift. I was happy to hear that since I didn’t want implants. Fourth, he made me feel at ease and totally safe. You would think that a man with his credentials would be arrogant and impatient but he was quite the opposite. He was easy to talk to and took the time to answer all of my questions (I had many). Lastly, he performs a drainless tummy tuck, which many doctors don’t do. This was another deciding factor for me since the idea of having drains protruding from my body following surgery was very daunting.
So, I went forward with my MM on 10÷1÷15 and I am THRILLED with my results. My boobs are a «thing of beauty» as my friend put it. (Yes, I’ve shown them off) Lol. I L-​O-​V-​E them! They look better than they did when I was in my 20’s, pre-​kids! And with no implants no less! The scars are barely visible and don’t bother me at all. To top it off, I had ZERO pain or discomfort in my breasts following the surgery – not a twinge, which was awesome of course.
As for my tummy tuck, I can hardly believe this is my belly/​body. My waist is tiny and he did a great job contouring my abs. I’ve seen many tummy tucks that are flat as a board but they look unnatural. I don’t have that look at all. I have defined abs! I look like I’ve been working out, not like I’ve gone under the knife. It’s incredible. My scar is longer than I thought it would be but it is very low. It’s hidden under a bikini and underwear and I know it will continue to fade so it doesn’t really bother me. It’s a very small price to pay for gorgeous abs. :-)
My immediate recovery was a little rough even though Dr. Stevens used Exparel per my request. I wasn’t in a lot of pain bc of it but I didn’t react well to the narcotic pain medications. Luckily, I didn’t have to take them for more than 3 days and I spent a couple of extra nights at the aftercare facility, which was the best thing I could have done for myself and for my family. I was very well taken care of there and it made those first few days much more tolerable. I went back to work on day 17 post op but I could have used a little more time off to be honest since the more I walked the more I would hunch. I didn’t tell anyone at work about my surgery so I tried to avoid walking in front of people. I can say that I didn’t really feel normal again until about 8 – 10 weeks post-​op (it is major surgery afterall). Just wanted to share that so you have realistic expectations about recovery but don’t let it discourage you. It wasn’t painful, just uncomfortable.
Dr. Stevens staff (particularly Patrice) was amazing throughout the entire process, especially my recovery. I called them several times with concerns, emailed them with pictures when I thought something didn’t look or feel right and they gave me the option of coming in without an appointment a few times to make sure everything was ok, which I did. It turned out everything was fine each time but I really appreciated that.
So, I would have to say that I strongly recommend Dr. Stevens for your MM. He is the best. I don’t think there is a better, more qualified, more experienced, Dr. in LA. I am so glad I found him and that I overcame my fears and did this for myself. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. The belly battle is finally over and I have perky, youthful breasts!!! I’m so happy!!! Thank you Dr. Stevens and staff!

After years of following Dr Grant Stevens and feeling like I couldn’t afford such an expert, I made a consultation appointment. He confirmed all the positive things I thought of him with his practice, time spent with me and his warm personality. Most of all, he listened to my situation and seems to be willing to work with me so I can afford it. Having my 2^nd saline deflation and going smaller with gummy bear implants with a lift makes my final decision on a surgeon vital for a good outcome. My surgery date is set for June 2016 and I cannot wait.

I was starting to hate my neck and was spending time in front of the mirror pulling up my face with my fingers to see if PS would make a significant difference. Decided that it was time to just do it. I am a repeat patient of Dr Stevens. I had a Breast Lift, Mini Brow Lift, Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty and and a Tummy Tuck in ²⁰⁰⁴⁄₂₀₀₅. Was very pleased with the results. 10+ years later, I’m still delighted! I’m less than a month post op for the face lift work but can already see that when I’m completely healed, I am going to be thrilled. Dr Stevens is a skilled and gifted surgeon and a delightful person. That said, your experience is shaped not only by the doctor but by the staff as well. In that respect, it must be noted that the entire staff is amazing repeat, AMAZING! What is most impressive is the fact that nearly everyone in the office had been with the Doctor for many years. I think that really says something about Dr Stevens and his practice. You are cared for and treated with courtesy and respect by everyone you interact with. If you do choose to go to him (and I highly recommend that you do) you’re going to love both your results and the process!

Dr Stevens is a great surgeon. He takes
His time and efforts to get the results you want. I suggest that you go in for
A consultation. I have been to other doctors but he is the only one that could fix my problem. Great staff and friendly atmosphere.

Jen Tinelli NP is an expert with Botox. I’ve followed her from Dr. Simoni’s over here to Dr. Steven’s. Dr. Steven’s has an incredibly impressive office. He always runs on time and the office is gorgeous. They have a professional staff and efficient process. They have the latest and greatest techniques, equipment and procedures of everything in the aesthetic world.

After years of working out and eating well, I just couldn’t understand why my belly could never get as flat as I wanted it to. I went in to Marina Plastic Surgery not knowing what services they could offer me. I was told I would be a good candidate for CoolSculpting and met with Rachael Martinez.
Truth be told, I was completely skeptical, so I did more research on this procedure and even visited another office that provided this service, however, after meeting Rachael and knowing how many procedures she’s done, I felt confident in her ability to make me look great!
Just went in for my final follow-​up photos and the results are unbelievable!
Thanks to Rachael, I can now be confident in my own skin and it has made working out so much more fun — I can actually engage my core!
Overall, I had a wonderful experience in their «Manland» and got to watch Netflix during my sessions — also, Rachael is very responsive if you email her — unheard of!
I recommend CoolSculpting for those of you who have a few extra pounds of stubborn fat that won’t ever go away and those of you who are active in their workouts AND please go see Rachael!!!

I got coolscuplting on my stomach and love handles by Rachael Martinez and I couldn’t be happier with the results. These were my stubborn areas that I could not loose and rachael took care of them.
Also man land is awesome. Not what I was expecting at a plastic surgeons office. This area made me feel very comfortable and not out of place.
After getting coolscuplting I started getting medical grade facials once a month. This really cleaned up my face and helped with my acne scars.
Rachael is amazing at what she does. And recommend her to everyone.

Dr. Steven’s is a genius. He is a true professional and his work is phenomenal. I highly recommend him!

This is the most wonderful office and the staff is totally professional. Charlie and Erica are wonderful and I can’t wait to visit the spa. I felt totally at ease with my consult and didn’t experience any issues discussed previously. I will update my review post surgery but thus far I’m very happy with my choice! I would recommend him to anyone.

Not only is Dr. Stevens incredibly talented, but his entire office goes above and beyond every step of the way. I’ve recommended Dr. Stevens to all of my friends and family. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Their new office is spectacular as well!

I am now 15 years post op from my breast surgery with Dr. Stevens, and still to this day I cannot say enough good things about my experience — the proof exists in my amazing results even 15 years later.
Dr. Stevens completely changed my life and there is not a day don’t I look in the mirror and marvel at what he did for me. There are MANY bogus negative reviews on here — WARNING — they are not real patients — they are whining competitors — which is the HIGHEST form of flattery if you think about it.
Dr. Stevens helped me SO much I founded an organization to help women get the best info and the best doctors they could around the country and the world. In the last 15 years I’ve witnessed TONS of breast surgeries and Dr. Stevens continues to be consistently GREAT at what he does. My review is the real deal — I was an actual patient. My mother was an actual patient and I’ve watched HUNDREDS of other women become his actual patients and have the same great results. It’s worth it to have a consult with his office. What matters is your end result, but you’ll also be well cared for by his office. Your end results are what matters in the end.

I don’t write a lot of reviews, but feel compelled to do so when it comes to Dr. Stevens. I was looking for a place where I (a cosmetic services novice) could feel comfortable about doing things to improve my appearance and stave off all the signs of aging. A buddy told me about Dr. Stevens so I decided to set up a consultation at his office.
Excellent experience! He has a phenomenal, welcoming staff and I found the perfect place at Marina ‘ManLand’. I was asked about what exactly I was looking to accomplish, and was presented the different options to bring back a lot of my youthful appearance. I am not looking for surgery yet, but with a plan that includes face injections and other skin treatments, I feel like we have a great plan for my 40’s. Been back twice as part of my ‘plan’ and every experience is consistently outstanding. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing spa day at Dt. Stevens. I was provided with the best, and seriously the best facial by Paulette. The treatment was detail stage by stage. I experience different feelings with each stage of the treatment. She washed, cleansed, steamed, washed again and then cleansed again back to a mask and then another cleanse and for last the finishing touches!!! Ladies it was like a work of art. I was so pleased that I purchased a package to reinsure that I would return to treatment myself regularly.
I hope you ladies or gentleman don’t miss out! You are worth it!

I’ve been going to Dr. Stevens office for about 8 years. The staff there is very professional and courtious. I go for my skin treatments for malasma and they are always honest and give me the best treatment options that I can afford. I’ve gone to another place before and would never do that again. You really do get what you pay for. They are the best. The office is very clean and I feel like my privacy is protected.
Saving up for a mommy make over after having my last son… and this is the place I feel comfortable going to. I know I am in good hands with Dr. Stevens office.
Forgot…I’ve also came for juvaderm and both injections. AND Of Course Was Completely Satisfied With My Results On Both occasions

Class-​act office!
From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome.
A well run and efficient place. Most of all, they sincerely care about you.
My entire family uses this practice and we have all had THE best outcomes, and THE best experience (both for surgery and non surgical stuff). The aftercare place is equally wonderful and allowed for my safe care.
The doctor, nurses Maria and Patrice and Charlie are all so personable and professional, and treat us with so much respect.
