Steven Svehlak, MD FACS

I want to Thank Dr. Svehlak for all he has done for me. I saw him 7 years ago for a Breast Augmentation and they still look Great! People actually approach me asking if the are mine! That’s how natural they look! Now, I went back to him years later for my nose that I had fixed but developed severe scar tissue. I went thru so much trying to find the right Dr. I felt because I had already developed confidence with his work, I hoped he can help me. I have to say, my nose was Not an easy fix because of the scar tissue I developed. After all I have been thru all these years living with scare tissue and feeling insecure about myself, I was so scared, I didn’t think anything can be done! I am Now so so so Happy with the results Dr Svehlak did for me. I Can’t Thank Him Enough!!!
Dr. Svehlak, Thank You For All You have Done for Me! Your Patients, Great Professionalism and bedside Manners! Your Work of All Kind is Amazing!
Also, I have to Add, You Have the greatest Staff Ever! I Will be Back!
Thank You So Very Much!!!

I have known Dr. Svehlak and his office manager, Colleen, now for well over 10 years. He has taken care of me with injectables and he performed fat grafting on me approximately eight years ago. It was the best thing I had ever done and helped me stay young and vibrant looking.
Just this past month, Dr. S did a neck lift for me. I have wanted one for the past three years and Dr. S kept saying «not yet». He never pushed the surgery on me. Then, this winter he said «Now is the time!»
I went for it as I trust him completely.
The results have been amazing. It has only been 3 weeks since the surgery and I can say the following —
1. He did exactly what I wished, keeping the correction subtle and natural looking. My friends are amazed and we say that it looks like my neck has been «photoshopped»! My neck is smooth and gorgeous.
2. The pain was minimal. I took minimal pain meds for three days and that was it. There was minimal swelling and very little bruising.
3. Colleen took such good care of me with scheduling and informing me of everything that would happen, before and after the surgery. The recovery center she referred me to for two nights (which I highly recommend) was wonderful and I am so grateful that I took her advice! She really held my hand throughout the process and was kind and patient.
4. The cost was reasonable and not jacked up in some crazy «Hollywood» way. It was manageable for me which I appreciate.
All in all it was smooth sailing and I would recommend Dr. Svehlak to anyone. He is an artist and is not ego-​driven. He is laid back and fun to talk to, not at all intimidating or impatient. I am so grateful to him!

I cannot say enough great things about my most recent experience with Dr. Svehlak, nor the years I’ve been trusting him to keep me looking and feeling great. I’ve trusted Dr. Svehlak for many years with my Botox, which per my request, he kept very subtle. I was ready for a little more, having recently had a milestone birthday, and he’s the first person I turned to. I wanted to freshen myself up, but having probably watched way to many Real Housewives, was worried about looking weird. I should’ve known he’d know exactly what to do. I told him I looked tired when I looked in the mirror and felt a bit «jowl-​y» too. I wasn’t sure if I needed upper eye surgery, lower eye surgery or both and if he could do anything with my neck short of a facelift. He studied me very carefully and recommended I wait on doing anything surgical with my lower eyes, but that he could really help take some years off by doing my upper eyelids, sculpting under my chin and jawline with smart lipo, and hitting my under eyes with a laser that would help thicken the skin a bit (he said I’d see best results by doing the laser part a few times over a year or so). He also did one syringe of Juvederm in a few key areas to again very subtly reverse some aging.
Since he’s always been right on about things, I went with his recos. I am SO GLAD I did. I am only a month or so out, but I healed up quickly and beautifully. I finally don’t look tired every time I look in the mirror, which makes me FEEL less tired too. Nothing is pulled or tight, but I’d say he took about 5 – 10 years off my upper eyes and and face overall with the Juvederm, 3 – 5 years off my neck/​jawline (which is much firmer and tighter now), and maybe a year or so off my lower eyes with the laser. I am once again impressed with Dr. Svehlak’s calm confidence, amazing skills and ability to turn back time in a very natural way. I’m a fan for life!!!

Dr Svehlak gave me new found confidence! After doing a lot of research on many Canadian and US Surgeons I decided to travel from Vancouver, BC for a consultation and never looked back. All of my care was great and I found him to be very informative and quite timely for all of my appointments. He never pushed any procedures on me and he was quite careful to ensure all of the procedures we agreed on were done in a way that would appear natural. I am so happy with how I look, it’s still me but without some of the little issues that used to make me self-​conscious. He is definitely conservative and has your happiness in mind while helping decide on the procedures with you. He even gave me recommendations on places to stay nearby with the best prices as he knew I was from out of country. The morning of my surgery he was very warm and calm; he made me feel instantly relaxed as soon as I saw him and the nurses and anesthesiologist were also amazing. I highly recommend him!

Fabulous experience. Great front office staff. Delightful doctor with empathy & expertise. Good results. Happy.

I had gone to a different plastic surgeon for fillers for over 2 years out of convenience to my home and his office staff, however I was disappointed with this doctors attitude and lack of attention to detail. One time he severely deformed my lips and enough was enough. I took a chance and decided to meet with Dr. Svehlak after researching him and I was impressed by his attention to detail and suggestions regarding my filler. He was personable and very knowledgable. I used one needle at first to see his skill level injecting and I was impressed. 2 weeks later I went back for another needle to do some touch ups and left his office extremely Happy. Do your homework and research before you go to a place. NOT all Doctors are created equal because there are a lot of bad ones. You will be impressed with Dr. Svehlak; he is everything a plastic surgeon should be and for that reason I decided to write this review.

I am highly disappointed with the performance of Dr. Svehlak. I trusted Dr. Svehlak to make an informed decision in selecting an appropriate treatment to enhance my appearance. Unfortunately, he ultimately made the decision to perform a very invasive cosmetic procedure on me that was completely in appropriate for my age range and particular case. This procedure has dramatically altered my appearance in a negative manner and his work has left me with a very visible 1 inch scar accross my face. Dr. Svehlak failed to disclose the gravity of this procedure and the scar. Furthermore, Dr. Svehlak knew full well that I was not an appropriate candidate for this procedure, but he decided to operate on me unnecessarily.
I have consulted with several top LA surgeons who told me that he never should have performed this particular procedure on someone so young and who clearly didn’t need it. This procedure is reserved for women in their 40’s to 50’s. I am still a college student. Dr. Svehlak took advantage of my vulnerability as I trusted his expertise. It has become apparent that Dr. Svehlak lacks judgement and compassion. Now that I have chosen to speak out against Dr. Svehlak, I know that other women will have the courage to follow in suit.

Dr. Svehlak has been a Godsend! He is one of the most talented plastic surgeons in all of Las Angeles. That is not an easy thing to achieve. His bed side manner is so kind. He knows bodies like no one else in this business. His staff is AMAZING and he uses only the very best anesthesiologists and nurses. He has transformed my body to what i have always envisioned. I am a healthy full time exerciser and thanks to Dr. Svehlak my hard work actually shows through my perfectly sculpted and toned body. There is no other choice for a plastic surgeon in LA!

Dr. Svehlak is probably the most honest doctor I have ever met. He genuinely listens to you and doesnt make you feel rushed. I would definitely return back because it is so hard to find someone trustworthy, friendly, and professional like Svehlak.

Have lived in LA for a long time and have been to a lot of doc’s in town for many procedures. Steven Svehlak MD FACS is absolutely one of the best skilled doctors with an incredibly artistic eye. Sunset Cosmetic Surgery is of high quality and I will continue to consult them and use their Services.
