Surgery with Symmetry

Artisan of Beauty brings a refined, thoughtful approach to aesthetic medicine to Santa Barbara’s Coast Village community. Led by Dr. Tim Neavin, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of focused experience, the practice is known for natural-looking results, meticulous technique, and an unwavering commitment to balance and proportion.

Unlike high-volume cosmetic practices, Artisan of Beauty is intentionally personal. Every consultation is unhurried and highly individualized, with an emphasis on listening first. Dr. Neavin is widely respected for his philosophy, “Surgery with Symmetry,” a guiding principle that prioritizes harmony, longevity, and tissue health over trends or exaggerated outcomes.

The Santa Barbara location specializes in non-surgical and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, including advanced injectables, skin rejuvenation, and facial refinement procedures designed to refresh and restore without disrupting your natural appearance. Patients seeking surgical procedures work directly with Dr. Neavin, who performs surgery at leading, fully accredited hospitals, including Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Olympia Medical Center, Beverly Hospital, and Queen of the Valley Hospital, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care.

Breast Augmentation Report

We provide breast augmentation focused on achieving refined, natural-looking enhancement. Using meticulous planning and individualized implant selection, we create proportionate results that complement each patient’s frame. Procedures are completed in a private accredited surgical environment. Volume improvement is visible right away, with gradual settling that delivers a soft, realistic appearance.

Rhinoplasty Report

Our rhinoplasty service focuses on reshaping the nose with accuracy, restraint, and an artistic perspective. By modifying bone and cartilage, we can smooth irregularities, refine the nasal tip, and improve airflow when needed. Every surgical plan is tailored to the patient rather than a standard template. The objective is lasting improvement that appears harmonious and unoperated.

Liposuction Report

We perform liposuction as a precise body contouring procedure for patients seeking refined definition. Stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and neck is carefully removed when it does not respond to lifestyle efforts. Our use of the tumescent technique supports smoother contours and a shorter recovery period. Fat removed during treatment may be repurposed through fat grafting when appropriate. With weight stability, outcomes are lasting.

Mommy Makeover Report

Our Mommy Makeover is designed to help restore areas commonly affected by pregnancy when diet and exercise are no longer effective. By thoughtfully combining breast and body procedures, we create a personalized surgical plan that supports harmony and natural form. This comprehensive approach allows for meaningful transformation with one recovery experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Dr. Neavin is an exceptional plastic surgeon professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. He made my daughter feel comfortable every step of the way, and her recovery was so smooth and natural. Her nose looks absolutely beautiful — refined yet perfectly balanced for her face. Dr. Neavin truly has an artistic eye and a caring approach. We are beyond grateful and highly recommend him to anyone considering surgery.

Tim is a genius!! He injected my own "fat" in my face and
I love love the way I look now. So natural .. I just don't have the lines and creases that aged my face. I just look so much better and feel better
about my appearance . He also did a "lip lift".. so great .
My upper lip has a slight "perky " look now. I love it.
No injection so not that puffy
look.. I'm beyond happy with
what he's achieved with my appearance !!! Highly recommend!!!

Can't say enough good about Dr Neavin. I'm fortunate to have had such a stellar surgeon piece me back together after a wild surfing accident. I went from unrecognizable to looking like myself again. Forever grateful for his work and would highly recommend.

Back with Dr. Tim for my hyaluronic filling. Despite having done the filling before, I was still nervous. Tim was very detailed and answered all my questions and filled out my checks and other things I wanted. Highly recommend!

I was frightened that an ugly scar on my face from an accident the Friday of a long weekend would be with me for life. So lucky to have Dr Neavin come to the rescue. A week later it's barely even noticeable. And he and his staff on the follow up didn't try to over treat me. Good people.
