Sunset Cosmetic Surgery

After having lived with awful liposuction dents on my arms and stomach for the past year and a half, I finally had my revision liposuction and fat transfer with Dr. Svehlak at Sunset Cosmetic Surgery. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Svehlak and the whole revision process. Dr. Svehlak is a true artist and I am so extremely grateful to him for giving me my body back, plus some. The dents in my arms and stomach are GONE, and my legs and hips where he took the fat from look amazing! Dr. Svehlak, Veronica, and his entire staff were all awesome. I only wish I’d known of him from the very beginning and had it done right the first time...
I'm only 9 days post surgery, but I'll be sure to post pictures once the bruising has subsided.

Hi all, just wanted to give you guys a quick update and some pictures of my results now that I'm at the 3 1/2 post lipo revision/ fat transfer by Dr. Svehlak.

The swelling has totally subsided and I'm really happy with the results! It's pretty much exactly what Svehlak said it would be- better, but not perfect. I'm aware that I was BOTCHED pretty badly so I will never be 100% perfect, but I'm A LOT better, and I'm very grateful for that.

The massive dents on my arms are gone. Everywhere except my left arm, which was the worst, is SO much better! My left arm has a some mild irregularities still and a couple of little hard lumps which he warned me could happen. I've been massaging them and they're getting better, but it's still a little visible, especially under certain lights. I would honestly say that there is a decent chance I will need one more small revision on that left arm, due to how badly it was botched.

Overall, I'm thrilled with my decision to go to Svehlak and I think he did a really great job! My inner & outer thighs, flank area, arms, and abdomen= HUGE improvement.

Sorry the pictures are not better quality, I took them with my camera phone and it was hard to get a great shot, but hopefully it will provide a little more insight as to the results. More to follow later!

I will like to take some well needed time for my surgeon Dr. Yamini from Sunset Cosmetic Surgery. First of all I will like to thank Dr. Yamini for recently had done my liposuction along w/ my Brazilian butt lift. I will get into details on a bit but first I will like to explain how I stated planing for this. It took me one year to find my Surgeon. I went to so many surgeon and none of them made me feel as wright as Dr.Yamini did. Dr. Yamini made me feel so comftable, he took his time to listen to what I really wanted and gave me his opinion on what I should do. My first consultation with him just went so good I came out so excited and motivated. I walked in to Dr. Yasmin's office at weight 220lb I asked to thin my mid section give me a figure witch I did not have at all, and fat transfer to my butt, he recommended me to loose weight so that I can have the results I wanted, He motivated me, it only took me 4 months to loose almost 50lb witch really made a big diference on my appearance. I could have had it done all at once to any other Dr. But Dr. Yamini did recomend to do one first then other for better results. And let me tell you! It's been not even a week that ivd had my lipo w/ Brazilian butt lift and im happy. I do not regret having this done at all. Ivd seen him twice already since my surgery keeping in mind it has not been a week yet!. Who doesn't like to have a surgeon that cares about you! :).. His job was done so neatly I'm more than happy. I am not bruise at all! My incisions where made so small it's nothing. I could already see my figure witch I love bc it's very noticeable yayyyy!!! And my butt is just beautiful it has that natural look it just looks good! :) I'm still a lil swollen because fluids do take time to go down but I'm doing just great and loving it!. The pain was not bad at all I was fine I did not need pain medication at all. So to all my females planing to have a cosmetic surgery I truly highly recomend Dr. Yamini he is one of the best surgeons there is :). I will keep you updated bc I will defenetly have my tummy tuck next! Oh and plz don't be scared I watched youtube videos I search to see how painful it was I did it all and my experience is beyond diferent than what I ever saw, heard, or even read from articles..

At 37 years old, all I can say is, "Better late than never" but I also know just how difficult it was to try and find the best plastic surgeon. My journey took time, hopefully you can read my recommendation and save yourself any additional and unnecessary agony. I'm also very cautious about any type of operation and live by the motto: "Better safe than sorry" for as asymmetrical and prominent that my ears were, in the wrong surgeon's hands, they could be much worse.


I've dreamed of having Otoplasty since I was a kid. Relentless teasing and jokes followed me even into adulthood. I've always had prominent "Big" ears, but in addition to that I also had my left ear "yanked out" in a fight when I was 15 that made that ear noticeably asymmetrical in-person and oddly even worse in photos. The angle of my left ear was dramatically different from my right due to a missing antihelical fold or antihelix which would need to be re-created.

The morning of my otoplasty procedure, I was to pick up my antibiotics and vicodin at the pharmacy before coming to the office. Conveniently, my prescriptions had been called in for me in advance by Dr. Svehlak's office, also conveniently the pharmacy is on the ground floor of the Sunset Cosmetic Surgery building. Upon arrival, photos were taken from every angle. As instructed I took 1 antibiotic and the procedure was done under local anesthesia. I slept through the operation, only waking up from time to time to check in then back to sleep. The entire procedure only took a few hours and I didn't feel a thing. I went home with instructions to return the next day to make sure everything was evolving properly. I was impressed that Dr. Svehlak would come in on a Saturday to check my sutures and how I was feeling. I mentioned that the vicodin was making me nauseous and he promptly had his office call in a prescription for percocet instead which agreed with my stomach more.

My left ear was more sore and swollen but I could see the very natural antihelix fold that had been created. I refrained from the gym for 2 weeks as instructed. I consumed only fresh-pressed vegetable juice for the next 12 days which helped my body heal very quickly. After a week Dr. Svehlak removed my dissolvable sutures from the small incisions behind my ears. Now 6 weeks later, my ears are still a little sensitive but they appear completely healed. I'd say I'm 90% healed. I resume my daily exercise and swimming. I wear a simple velcro surgical head wrap to bed each evening still (and probably will continue to do so for a few more months.) My ears look so great, so natural, and I feel so great. I always used to wear a hat or a beenie cap to disguise my "goofy" ears that just distorted the proportions of my face. Now I'm a new man!
