About Dr. Yamini:

Hi Dr. Yamini and office! I wanted to say thank you so much for the care and attention you gave me before, during and after my recent breast aumentation surgery! I felt so comfortable with Dr. Yamini's philosophies and expertise on the procedure and I appreciate all of the information you gave me to help me make my decision. I felt very informed and that we were on the same page when I scheduled my surgery.

I was so nervous the week leading up to the surgery and you all, especially Dolla, really "held my hand" through this whole thing. I had never had surgery before so I was nervous, and everyone was so sweet to answer all of my questions, even when I called four times in one day :-) On the day of the surgery I felt I was in very good hands and well cared for. I was less nervous walking into the office than I thought I would be.

I was surprised I had hardly any pain the days after the procedure. I was expecting much worse. I actually went to a late lunch and bra shopping with my friends the very next day, and after a Thursday surgery was back to work on Monday.

I love my new look! It has been so much fun trying on clothing that was never quite as flattering before, and buying bikinis has been amazing. I cannot even put into words how much more confident I am in myself and my looks.

Thanks so much!! -Female Patient, Breast Augmentation

Dear Dr. Yamini, I would like you to know that you have been great. You have touched my daughter's life, and mine too, for ever and we will never forget you. You were attentive to her needs anytime she needed you. Your hands work wonders and you are a true artist besides being a superior surgeon. Your bedside manners are impeccable and one can see that you are truly passionate about your work and your patients. I can not THANK YOU enough. God bless you and your loved ones and grant you all your wishes. -Female patient (parent)

Dr. Yamini changed my life!!! Regardless of what I did it seemed like I could never get rid of my thighs and stomach area. I tried working out, dieting, and many various kinds of diet pills, but nothing worked. There was a point in my life that I wouldn’t even look in the mirror because I would get angry that the amount of time and effort that I had put into exercising and dieting was not giving me any results. I had given up on the whole idea of me being able to lose weight. That is until I met Dr. Yamini. My older cousin is the one who introduced me to Dr. Yamini. As I was driving with my cousin to Dr. Yamini’s office for my consultation I was extremely frightened for I have always been a “BIG BABY.” I asked myself, “How are you going to have liposuction when just 6 months ago you cried when you got a shot”. By that time I was ready to answer my own question we had already reached Dr.Yamini’s office.

From the first moment that I met Dr. Yamini I was comfortable with him, and knew that I was in good hands. He was extremely patient in letting me ask all of my questions, even those that I asked twice. He asked me what I was unhappy with and we went on from there. Once we figured out exactly what I was going to have done, right then and there I set a date, Dec 19, 2003; I titled that day “The rebirth of the perfect body”. After meeting with Dr. Yamini I was no longer frightened of the procedure, in fact I was excited. On December 19, 2003 my mother drove me to the Dr. Yamini’s office I can’t put into words how excited I was. While waiting to go in for my surgery all of the staff at on point or another approached me just to say hello and to make sure I was ok. My surgery took approximately 2 and half hours. A couple of days after the surgery I was walking around and able to continue my daily activities. My end result is what is amazing. Prior to the surgery I was 11/12 dress size, it has been about 3 months after my surgery and I am now a size 5/6. I am able to fit in a size 3/4 but I like wearing 5/6. This had been the experience of a lifetime. The compliments that I receive make me feel amazing. Thank you Dr. Yamini, for you have no idea how much you have changed my life. -Female 21, Liposuction

Dear Dr.Yamini, Thank you so much for helping correct something that has bothered me for years (especially in light of the fact that I was about to get married and have a bunch of photos taken!). Many of my family and friends commented at my wedding that I looked the best they'd seen in years. (-: You are a terrific person and I wish you continued success in life and in your practice. You make a difference! Take care. - Male, early 30s, under chin liposuction

----------------------

Dear Dr. Yamini and Staff, I can't begin to express the words of appreciation for the outstanding service you provided. You made me feel comfortable and I so much trust in this office. Dr. Yamini I certainly wish there were more doctors like you. Thank you all. - Female, Body Contouring

----------------------

Dear Dr. Yamini, I just want to say thank you so much for everything that you have done for me. Before I came to you I was very nervous and didn't know what to expect, however, with your professionalism, experience and delicate touch, you made everything worth it. Because of you I feel better about myself, again, all the thanks to you. - Rhinoplasty Patient

----------------------

Dear Dr.Yamini, I would like to express my profound gratitude to you for changing my life. Before my liposculpture buying clothes was a nightmare and I would always feel depressed when shopping for new outfits. Nothing ever fit properly. After my surgery however, even buying bathing suites has become a pure delight. You have not only transformed my body but also my self-esteem and body image. To say that I'm happy is an understatement; I am ecstatic! I can't stop smiling. I didn't realize what a difference the right surgeon could make.

Moreover, your professionalism, sensitivity and accessibility throughout the entire process were very much appreciated. Thank you for making a difference in the life. My experience with you as a surgeon and as a human being has been a pleasure. Thank you so much for all your kindness and generosity. I am so thankful for your caring heart and steady hand. I would also like to thank your entire staff, who treated me with the utmost professionalism and care while maintaining my personal privacy. Dr. Yamini, no words can express my appreciation. Best wishes, Sharon. Age 28

Dear Dr. Yamini, Office Staff, and Surgery Staff, I will never forget the image of two incredible geniuses holding each one of my hands before surgery. Thank you SO much for that. Dr. Yamini - since I walked in that very first day you made me feel nothing but comfortable. The staff, the other doctors, all you guys are simply wonderful, caring people. I just wanted you to know that you are appreciated and you guys are AWESOME! - Female, 23, liposuction

I always knew I had a receded chin and always hated it. I liked my looks but it was always that one thing, I don't really have a chin and it makes my face look puffy. Being a model this was a major concern for me, and that's why I decided to look into a chin implant. Not having done any kind of cosmetic procedures before and it being on my face, I was extremely nervous. I interviewed five doctors and I chose Dr. Yamini because he is personable, attentive to my concerns and he would always give me a thorough answer every time I asked a question. Most importantly though, he suggested something the others didn't, was to do a buccal fat removal on my cheeks in combination with the chin implant. I didn't even know about buccal fat removal but it sounded like exactly what I needed. It's funny because I was going to ask if something can be done about my puffy cheeks at the same time, and the doctor suggesting this without me asking tells me he was seeing the same thing I was seeing, and it was important to me.

He took a good care of me and remained attentive through and after the surgery. I recovered well and fast, only a few days after the surgery I knew I had a good result. I actually had a shoot 8 days after the surgery. I probably saw the doctor about 5 times as follow up visits, and now 3 months later I'm good to go. I'm very happy with everything he's done, from consultation to post surgery care, and his staff are great. One of my concerns were to look unnatural from the surgery. So far nobody, including my friends and my parents, can guess I had any kind of procedures on my face, except to say that I lost weight. Well I'm looking very natural, only better than what I was born with. I'm definitely photographing better and I have a little more sophisticated look. I'm sure it will help me with my career, not to mention it also helps boost my confidence level.

I'm extremely happy with my result, and I would recommend Dr. Yamini to anybody who's considering a cosmetic procedure. -Female, 20s, Chin/Buccal Fat Removal

From Obesityhelp.com: Dr. Yamini is one of the few surgeons I've met who's specialty is the circumferential body lift. He truly enjoys his work and after consulting with him I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else to perform my surgery. He and his gifted hands were the last step in making my massive weight loss complete. He has been extremely supportive and attentive to all of my concerns both pre and post-op. I am extremely happy with my results and thank Dr. Yamini for his dedication in resculpting my body. -Female, Body Lift Patient

----------------------

"...Dr. Yamini put all my fears to rest with the first appointment. He turned out to have direct experience with body lift operations and the before and after pictures he showed me indicated a great deal of skill in this area. He was also friendly and I felt we understood each other well from the start. I could see he was clearly concerned about giving you the best possible results while ensuring my health and safety at the same time. I knew he was the surgeon for me right away and I begin making preparations for the first of two body lift operations that day... What a difference over the first operation. All of the excess skin was removed, my stomach's firm and tight and for the first time in my life, I have a real waist. Dr. Yamini also removed in all of the scar the first operation left behind and repositioned my belly button in the center of my stomach. The left and right sides of my waist are almost perfectly even and my belly button is just plain beautiful. The new scar is much less noticeable and positioned low on my stomach where it's a snap to hide.

I am ecstatic about the results so far and looking forward to having the second operation to remove the excess skin from my thighs and arms...No more hiding that skin behind loose and long clothing. I feel just like I did after finished losing all about weight. Like I've opened new doors and am starting on a new and better life....My most sincere thanks to Dr. Yamini for all his help and for sharing his skill with me. Best of luck also to all of you out there who have lost weight or are getting ready to. There really is a light at the end the tunnel so eve when it gets tough, stay focused and don't look away! Follow that light and set yourself free. I guarantee you'll be happier than you've ever dreamed you could be!" -Male, Body Lift Patient

----------------------

To Dr. Yamini, Thank you, for such an excellent job on my tummy tuck. Not only did you work wonders on my physical appearance, but you also elevated my self-esteem to a whole new level. When I first met you, you asked me what I wanted out of this surgery. At the time, all I was thinking about was the excess skin that was left over from my pregnancy of my twin boys. My only thought was how wonderful it would feel not having extra skin hanging around. But, I never imagined looking the way I do now after the surgery. You gave me a whole new outlook on life, both mentally and physically. I want to thank you and your staff at Dr. Ellenbogen's office for making me feel like part of your family. I will never forget what you have done for me and I will tell everyone that I know or come across how much you have helped me with my surgery. Also, I cannot tell you enough how comfortable the staff there made me feel. -Female, Tummy Tuck Patient, 26 years old

----------------------

I wanted to drop a quick note just to say thanks and that Dr. Yamini is my personal hero. Aside from the boobs, which look really great, and the abdomen, which now looks like it did 15 years ago, what has really blown me away is the repair of the huge canyon in my forehead! I have had this crater in my forehead for several years, and have had more than a few shots of Botox to try and soften it...never with any luck. I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that there just wasn't anything to be done about it, and then my hero made it DISAPPEAR. The thing is virtually gone! I just can't believe it.

Someone just walked into my office, and I made them look at my forehead....so that made me think of you folks, and I decided to e-mail. I really am so very impressed with all of my work. Wish I had some place to run around naked!!!!!!!! Well...maybe not....but you get the idea!

I never actually told Dr. Yamini, but I consulted with 5 surgeons before I saw him (if I told him that I would have a big PROBLEM PATIENT flag on my head)! But the truth is that I saw two people in Las Vegas and three in Southern California. I just never felt quite right about any of them..a couple told me that they couldn't do anything with my abdomen because of the placement of some tattoos...a couple just seemed, I don't know....non-trustworthy.....and I had made up my mind that Dr. Yamini was going to be my last consult, regardless of the outcome. He did such a wonderful job that I am happy to pass that along to anyone who is unsure. -Sally, Tummy tuck & Breast Augmentation

WOWOWOW!!!!!!! Thanks for sending those pictures, I really did not remember my breasts being so small before, the difference is a LOT more than I thought....seeing those makes me SO happy I did the procedure! Thanks so so so much! -Female Patient, Breast Augmentation

About Dr. Svehlak:

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

Dr. Svehlak did my liposuction in August and I couldn't be happier with my results! I wanted to find a doctor who listened to what I wanted and made me feel very comfortable. He was attentive, professional and kind. I'm so pleased with my new flat tummy! THANK YOU! - C.O., Female, 30s, liposuction

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-- Mary and Colleen were always professional, attentive and helpful. The anaesthesiologist and Riley were amazing too and always knew exactly what to do. - D.S., Female, early 40s, breast implants and chin lipo

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

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. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ellenbogen and Dr. Svehlak to any friend or family member who wants a great surgeon and great results. Thank you so much for your support and caring before, during and after my surgery. I look and feel great!! Thanks for everything, -Beth (female lipo patient)

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. -Female Patient

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. -Female Patient (Upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting to the cheek and tear trough area)

Dear Dr. Svehlak, I really wanted to thank you. At our fist 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 8 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! Thank you again, -Female Patient (breast augmentation)
