"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 two friends 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 are. 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 luck to have found you.

Thank you again.

Judy

"Dr. Stevens,

I had a breast augmentation with lift on March 17th. I am very happy with the results. I had a very uneventful recuperation and feel it was due to your experience and skill as a surgeon. Thanks also to your fine staff: Charlie, Sally, Patrice and Maria. They were all so friendly, warm and helpful. Thanks again, you're the best!

"Dr. Stevens,

This is actually a Thank You card for the beautiful body you've given me. This summer has been so much fun with the new top part! You do great work Dr. Stevens. I hope to send some friends your way soon. I looked for you & your wife at "Taste of LA!" Hope you've had a great summer even without the sun!

A very happy patient - Cathy

"Dr. Stevens and Patrice,

I want to thank you both for taking such good care of me before during and after my surgery. I cannot describe the change in my life since my reduction procedure. Dr. Stevens, I hope God continues to bless your hands - this surgery is truly a gift! Thanks! I think you will be pleased to see how I've healed when I return for my one-year follow up in December. A special thanks to Patrice and Charlie for their special attention - you have a great staff.

"Dear Dr. Stevens,

Thank you again for the gift certificate to Café del Rey you gave me last Friday when I was in for my follow up. We had a great lunch break before heading home to San Diego. Thanks, too, for making my breast lift/reduction "experience" so easy. You and your wonderful staff (especially Patrice and Maria!) are the BEST! There must be 100+ plastic surgeons between San Diego and LA but I would choose you again - in a heartbeat!

"Hi Advice Media,

I used your site in helping to decide whether I wanted to get implants or not and it was extremely helpful...but there was something missing.

I was unable to locate any information anywhere about the effects of implants on swimming speed. I have worked as a lifeguard on the beach for the last 8 summers and have raced extensively. I went to Grant Stevens and he did not really know how much they would affect my speed. He did go as large as he could while allowing me to still run (with a swimsuit or two jog bras), which was helpful. The only information I found regarding sports referred to women still being able to bench the same amount after the surgery.

I have gotten noticeably slower swimming! (even though the men seem to think I have gotten faster. hee hee) I am 5'6" 115lbs and went from a lopsided 34 A/AA to a perfect 34D. (I was expecting to get somewhat slower, but did not know how much).

Maybe you could add a section for effects of implants on athletes in different sports? I know there aren't a great number of women that are THAT concerned about still being able to workout and compete, but there have got to be a few.

Also I would like to praise Dr Stevens!!! I asked for breasts like Leilani Duenas (playboy model) and gave him photos of her to work from. Mine look almost exactly like hers!!! It is amazing. I have attached a bikini top self portrait from February. He made them look so real that nobody even questions if they are mine or not even though they are large for my body:)

Thanks, Debbie

"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.
