Surgery with Symmetry
Dr. Tim Neavin - Santa Barbara
Artisan of Beauty introduces a refined and thoughtful approach to aesthetic medicine in the Coast Village community of Santa Barbara. The practice is led by Dr. Tim Neavin, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience, and is recognized for its natural results, meticulous technique, and unwavering commitment to balance and proportion.

The practice differs from high-volume cosmetic clinics as it is intentionally personal, with every consultation being unhurried and highly individualized, focusing on listening first. Dr. Neavin is widely respected for his "Surgery with Symmetry" philosophy, which prioritizes harmony, longevity, and tissue health over trends or exaggerated results.

The Santa Barbara location offers non-surgical and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, including advanced injectables, skin rejuvenation, and facial refinement procedures that aim to refresh and restore without altering one's natural appearance. Patients who require surgical procedures work directly with Dr. Neavin, who performs surgeries at accredited hospitals such as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Olympia Medical Center, Beverly Hospital, and Queen of the Valley Hospital, ensuring high standards of safety and care.

Services
Breast augmentation in our practice centers on balance, symmetry, and long-term aesthetic integrity. We tailor every procedure to correct volume loss, enhance shape, and improve overall proportions. All surgeries are performed in a discreet, accredited surgical suite. Patients see immediate fullness, followed by natural settling that reveals a smooth, harmonious contour.
We perform rhinoplasty to create refined nasal contours while preserving overall facial harmony. The procedure can correct aesthetic concerns as well as functional issues such as breathing difficulty. Surgical techniques are selected based on individual structure, ensuring precision and stability. Results are intended to be permanent, balanced, and consistent with the patient’s natural features.
Our liposuction service is designed to sculpt and reshape the body by eliminating localized fat deposits. We carefully treat common problem areas, including the midsection, thighs, back, and neck, with a focus on balance and proportion. The tumescent method allows for effective fat removal while minimizing bruising and recovery time. In select cases, harvested fat can be transferred for added volume. Long-term results depend on maintaining a consistent weight.
We offer the Mommy Makeover as a fully customized surgical approach designed to address the lasting physical changes of pregnancy. Rather than a single procedure, it combines select breast and body surgeries into one carefully planned treatment. Our focus is restoring natural contours, balance, and proportion through a single, coordinated recovery period.

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!!!

Dr. Neavin did an amazing job. Put my ear back together from being obliterated after a crash to as if it was new.

I had a breast augmentation about a year ago with Dr. Neavin. He was referred by one of my friends who was referred by one of her friends. I have seen several other plastic surgeons in town before I finally decided to choose Dr. Neavin. He was very down to earth, patiently went through all my options and gave me professional suggestions. The office staff was also fantastic and I felt really comfortable with no pressure at all. I am now so satisfied with my breasts. They definitely look and feel very natural which is exactly how I wanted them to be! I can’t say enough great things about my doctor and his staff. Thank you!!!
