Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. This procedure addresses natural smallness or volume loss from life changes like pregnancy. It can be combined with a breast lift for optimal symmetry and contour. Our board-certified surgeon ensures natural-looking results that complement individual body proportions while maintaining safety standards.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits unresponsive to diet and exercise. We treat common trouble spots like thighs, abdomen, and arms to improve body contour. The procedure offers both men and women a solution for achieving smoother silhouettes. Our approach balances precision with safety to deliver proportionate, natural results that enhance existing body contours.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses visible aging signs in the face and neck. We reduce deep wrinkles and tighten sagging skin to restore youthful contours. The procedure improves facial suppleness and definition while maintaining natural expressions. Our technique focuses on long-lasting results that reflect patients' rejuvenated appearance without over-tightening.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores natural appearance after mastectomy or trauma. We offer implant-based solutions and tissue flap techniques for comprehensive reconstruction. The process supports emotional healing and self-esteem recovery. Our approach prioritizes symmetry and natural aesthetics while considering individual medical histories and treatment needs.
Injectables
Injectables combine neurotoxins and dermal fillers for wrinkle reduction and facial volume restoration. We offer Xeomin, Radiesse, and Restylane products for customized treatment plans. These minimally invasive options address fine lines and facial volume loss with quick recovery times. Our specialists ensure natural enhancement while maintaining facial expressiveness.

I had been living in San Diego and getting work done there, then moved to Virginia Beach in 2020. I found Dr. Stevenson after a long search for a doctor to administer forehead injections and being turned away or referred out by a handful of them. My medical history is complex and no one was comfortable working on me. But Dr. Stevenson was! She is extremely knowledgeable and gives you all the information, even the stuff you didnt know you needed to know. I was very relieved and grateful to have found such a knowledgeable, caring and experienced doctor. After my consultation she got on the phone

Medial thighplasty went very well. 7 weeks post op and have swelling but that's normal...can still see a difference, I think the final outcome will be good. Dr. Stevenson has a very good bedside manner, I'm very pleased with the level of care. Appointments can be hard to get sometimes when she gets busy, but worth the wait. Staff wears masks and the office is extremely clean. Dr. S is very cautious, didn't take any risks with my surgery, very thorough. I was very nervous but she did a good job of calming me down before my procedure. Surgery center was clean and organized and the surgical team in
