About Our Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon:
Although Dr. Steven Svehlak is now a practicing Los Angeles
plastic surgeon, he came from the small quiet town of Oxford,
Connecticut. He attended the University of Connecticut,
where he received a bachelor of science in biology. He received
his medical degree at New York Medical College in 1994.
While at medical school, he was introduced to many different
areas of medicine, but ultimately chose surgery.
During his five years in general surgery residency at Stamford
Hospital in Stamford, Connecticut, Dr. Svehlak was introduced
to the art of plastic surgery. He was immediately intrigued
with the field, as he found himself being able to work with
patients directly and help them reach the image they desired.
"Not only will I be able to restore beauty and function, but
also improve a persons self-image and confidence." Dr. Svehlak
sought further training, and completed an intense and highly
competitive plastic surgery program at George Washington
University in Washington, D.C in 2001. He learned the
techniques of reconstructive surgery, including those applied
in cancer, breast, and trauma surgeries. Dr. Svehlak gained
additional training at Children's National Medical Center,
in Washington, D.C., where he focused on facial reconstructive
surgery, including cleft lip and palate. He also became quite
experienced in treating many types of congenital hand deformities.
In 2002, Dr. Steven Svehlak was offered an Advanced Aesthetic
Fellowship with Dr. Richard Ellenbogen in Beverly Hills,
California. Dr. Svehlak worked side by side with Dr. Ellenbogen,
performing rhinoplasty, breast augmentations and reductions,
liposuction, and facial surgery. He became very knowledgeable
in the art of cosmetic surgery and developed a keen eye in
aesthetics. Although Dr. Ellenbogen invited Dr. Svehlak to
join his practice, Dr. Svehlak decided to open up a practice
of his own.
Dr. Svehlak has been featured in the Consumers’ Research Council of America’s Guide to America’s Top Plastic Surgeons for the past 6 years consecutively and is proud that Sunset Cosmetic Surgery was recognized among the Top 1% of BOTOX® providers in the nation.
Dr. Svehlak has authored and coauthored numerous articles on plastic surgery techniques, and has appeared on The View, Dr. Phil, The KTLA Morning Show, Entertainment Tonight, MTV, VH1 and Dr. 90210. Dr. Svehlak has been quoted in a variety of magazines including US Weekly, Elle, Stuff, Health & Fitness Sports Magazine and The Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
