Testimonials from the patients of Dr. Steven Svehlak

Testimonial for Procedure: Liposuction

Dr. Svehlak exceeded my expectations for my plastic surgery. He and his staff continue to offer me personalized care of which I am eternally grateful.
- A.T., Female, 20s, liposuction

Testimonial for Procedure: Breast Augmentation

Dear Dr. Svehlak,

I really wanted to thank you. At our first consultation you were very objective and really listened to me. I felt instantly at ease with you and knew instinctively you would be the one I would trust to perform the surgery. Four consultations and eight months later - you were the doctor I called when I was ready. Thank you so much for giving me such a satisfying feeling of beauty (my definition of it). Plus, you were the only one to compliment my chest - you said I had excellent measurements for a successful procedure. And that made me feel good!

Testimonial for Procedure: Breast Reconstruction

Dear Dr. Svehlak,

I just want to thank you so much for the wonderful job you've done on me. The reconstructive breast surgery couldn't have turned out any better and I couldn't be happier. The fat grafting looks amazing especially under the eye area where I had such a hollow look. If you have anybody that would like to talk to me in regards to my or should I say your successful results, please feel free to have them call me on my cell. Hope you have a happy and safe holiday. Again, thank you!

Testimonial for Procedure: Breast Augmentation

I can't say ENOUGH great things about Dr. Svehlak or my experience! I was a little nervous about having surgery since I have MS. Dr. Svehlak made me feel so comfortable with his amazing bedside manner, personality and work. I've dealt with so many doctors over the years (literally hundreds) because of my MS and Dr. Svehlak and his staff are A1. They are literally perfectionists (which is a good thing as far as plastic surgeons go!). I've already recommended them to 3 people. My results are spectacular and coming across the country was well worth it. My husband is amazed. I'm so thrilled with the results and the process did not involve a lot of pain or down time at all. In fact, my tiny little incisions under each arm are going to be indetectable in a month or so (it's been only 3 weeks and it's all healing beautifully). Also, the staff is GREAT-- always professional, attentive and helpful. The anesthesiologist and Riley were amazing too and always knew exactly what to do.

Testimonial for Procedure: Fat Transfer

After having several consultations with other Doctors in Beverly Hills and not feeling comfortable with any of them, I met Dr. Steven Svehlak. I knew within minutes that he was the Doctor that I wanted to perform my surgery.

Dr. Svehlak's amazing talent has played a significant role in the positive transformations that I have been striving for this past year. After losing 60lbs., and feeling healthier and more vibrant than ever, there was still that "something" missing that would help me feel attractive and sexy. After having breast augmentation, I have extreme pride in how I look and feel.

Dr. Svehlak assured me that the surgery would be easy and that I should have no problems with my recovery. I must admit I was a bit skeptical, but a day and half after surgery, I was back at work and feeling great. Thank you Dr. Svehlak and the entire office staff, for this pleasant and positive experience!
-Female, breast augmentation

Thank you guys so much for making my surgery
a comfortable experience, and of course to Dr. Svehlak for being the most talented, wonderful, BEST surgeon ever. Honestly, I can't begin to explain what he has done for my self esteem!!! See you soon.

Testimonial for Procedure: Liposuction

I wanted to send you a letter about how wonderful I think Dr. Svehlak is! The whole office treated me with such kindness and support throughout my entire surgery. Dr. Steve walked me through the process from beginning to end and I honestly had no surprises about the procedure or the recovery process... Thank you so much for your support and caring before, during and after my surgery. I look and feel great!!
Thanks for everything.

Testimonial for Procedure: Cosmetic Surgery

As a lawyer and psychologist having lived around the world, I have had professional associations, consultations and treatments with doctors considered "legends" in the field of plastic surgery. After receiving several procedures under the care and skill of Dr. Steven Svehlak, I can say without hesitation, he is a "legend in his own time". His professional talents and personal care and sincere charm are unsurpassed. Further, his talents are supported by a team of equally esteemed and clearly personally dedicated plastic surgeons in Dr. Ellenbogen and Dr. Yamini, personally attentive anesthesiologists and nurses, and a delightfully competent,, efficient and caring office staff. From my significant personal and professional perspective and experience, Dr. Svehlak and the Dr. Svehlak "package" are the best in the world. I look forward to our continued relationship.

Testimonial for Procedure: Facial Plastic Surgery

Dr. Steve,
Just in case I have not expressed my feelings of gratitude enough to you......let me reiterate them to you.... I am so very grateful for what you have done for me. I think you are a very sweet, caring, gentle doctor -- you made my experience very comfortable and were always so calm which really helped me a lot!!!! I love your confidence. Your work speaks for itself!! Thank you again. Stay well.

Testimonial for Procedure: Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Dr. Svehlak,
Thank you for keeping me in safe hands. I'm healing well as you can see aside from slight bruising and swelling. It's still very early but I feel good about the outcome. You are the best. In addition to being a remarkable surgeon, you have a great attitude and playful spirit in which I relate to. You keep me in a relaxed state of mind. You are a precious gift of life.

Testimonial for Procedure: Breast Augmentation

Dr. Svehlak, Dola, and staff,

I can't even begin to thank you enough! While the results to my augmentation are already astounding to me i have to let you know how impressed i continue to be by your thorough care and attention. The phone call the night prior to surgery meant so much and even the surgery's center phone call the day after. It's these little details that continued to make this experience so wonderful. I am so thrilled with my results already and overwhelmed with gratitude to have found such an amazing doctor with such a lovely and friendly staff. I hold you all close to my heart, right beneath my most beautiful breasts! Thank you all, see you soon!

Testimonial for Procedure: Breast Implant Revision

Dr. Steve Svehlak,

I just wanted to let you know how much i appreciated the time and attention you gave to me during my office visits and surgery. You really listened to what I was concerned about and you put a lot of thought into how you would plan out the surgery. I spent a lot of time researching and talking with other doctors - I really didn't think I was going to find anyone I could trust. I knew right away after the consultation that you were the one that could handle this revision surgery the "right way." You have an amazing way of making your patients feel at ease.

During my visits you were kind, caring, and confident in your abilities. It is rare to find a doctor so dedicated to his work and to ultimately the patients expectations and results. I am still healing but so far I am thrilled at the results. You are truly a one of a kind world class surgeon. i will be forever grateful to you - you went the extra mile - (or four miles) for me! I'll see you sometime in June.

Thanks so much!

Testimonial for Procedure: Cosmetic Surgery

Dr. Steve & Dr. Dan-
I am so grateful to you both for the beautiful work
that you did on me. I am 4 wks post now and feeling
great; very little swelling and sensitivity left. I am
waiting to get the "green light" to come back to work
and hoping that it will be very soon.

In the mean time, I am enjoying showing my new and
improved body to other woman who are all very
impressed with how incredible your work is and are
also ready to do the same (I'll be handing out your
cards for years to come).

Please call on me anytime should you need me for
photos, "show & tell", etc. I am available to you both
for any kind of support that I can offer.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
With much love & gratitude,
Denise
