Dr. Yamini,
I am writing this letter to let you know what an amazing and
caring doctor you were for me during the whole process of
my surgery. I was so nervous and scared, and the last thing
I remember before I went to sleep, was you next to be holding
my hand to let me know I would be okay. You and the staff
made me feel so comfortable. My body has completely transformed,
and I thank you for that. You are an incredible doctor, and
I know that all good things are coming your way. Thank you
again for everything.

To: Sunset Cosmetic Surgery
After interviewing 4 of the top surgeons in Beverly Hills,
I went to see Dr. Yamini for one additional consult. Of all
the surgeons I saw, I was most impressed with him for the
amount of time he took explaining things to me and for the
time he took showing me his actual work and explaining what
he needed to do. I also liked the fact that he was conservative
in his approach, unlike the other doctors I's seen, and that
he, personally, handled the entire consult rather than pushing
me off to his assistant. His work was beautiful. After leaving
there, I had a few more questions and Dr. Yamini took the
time to get on the phone with me and spent an additional 20
minutes answering my questions. I decided then and there that
he was the surgeon for me. He really gets the whole massive
weight loss/extra skin issues we face. He just completed my
mastopexy and abdominoplasty and I couldn't be happier. My
breasts are exactly what I wanted and expected and exactly
how he described them to me. My tummy looks incredible. Dr.
Yamini is a true artist and perfectionist. I could have gone
to anyone in Beverly Hills, but I chose and will always choose
him as the very best, most caring, talented and gifted surgeon
in the city!

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 augmentation
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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

----------------------
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.

I RECENTLY UNDERWENT BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY WITH DANIEL
YAMINI, M.D. I HAD AN ARRAY OF BEVERLY HILLS COSMETIC SURGEONS
FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE, BUT FELT MOST COMFORTABLE WITH DR. YAMINI.
HE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO MY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, AND ALLAYED
ALL OF MY FEARS. THE RESULTS FAR SURPASSED MY EXPECTATIONS.
MY SILICONE BREASTS LOOK NATURAL AND I CONSTANTLY RECEIVE
COMPLIMENTS. A DOCTOR IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS STAFF, AND DR.
YAMINI'S STAFF IS BOTH GRACIOUS AND VERY ACCOMODATING. I HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVATIONS IN RECOMMENDING DR. YAMINI- HIS
WORK IS EXQUISITE!
- Breast Augmentation 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.

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 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.

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!

Thank you so much for the pictures. Wow, what a difference!
I can't thank you and your office staff for the wonderful
first class treatment. I am so happy with my results! You
are an amazing doctor! You understood exactly what I was aiming
for and made my dreams come true. Thanks again and I hope
you all have a wonderful new year!

Dolla,
I’m extremely happy with the results. You and Dr. Yamini
were always so loving, patient and understanding of all my
issues, being away from family for the procedure and during
every visit.
Thank you so much for everything; I feel great; amazing feeling
when you can stop hiding yourself behind saggy clothes; and
my husband seems to be very happy too ;)

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

Dear Dr. Yamini,

apportunity to express my sincerest appreciation and gratitude.
You will never know what a difference you have made in my
life...

this letter
----------------------
I was 40 and in bad shape, literally! My tummy was huge and
I was very uncomfortable. I exercised regularly and ate well-balanced
meals through the day. I took very good care of my body but
giving birth to two, nearly ten pound babies took its toll.
In 1993, at fifteen weeks of pregnancy with my son, people
would comment that I looked like I was ready to give birth
any time…to twins!!! As the years moved forward, my
shape worsened; no amount of exercise or diet changed how
I looked. I was wearing size 13 pants and had to buy X-Large
men’s shirts just to fit them around my belly. I hated
the way I looked and felt. Every time I ate it made me nauseous
and exercising became a chore. Sit-ups were almost impossible
because my loose skin got in the way.
I called all of the cosmetic surgeon referral lines and they
unanimously referred me to Dr. Daniel Yamini. After careful
consideration, with the reluctance that comes with considering
surgery, I made an appointment with Dr. Yamini for consultation.
I was impressed from the beginning. Dr. Yamini’s staff
was warm and welcoming. They treated me as if I was one of
their own. Dr. Yamini took his time in talking to me about
abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and what the surgery would entail.
He left no stone unturned and covered all of my questions;
never once did he seem rushed. I notified him that I was a
full-time student who schooled year-round and would be on
a week hiatus between terms the following week. He took this
into consideration and had me booked for surgery within days.
He was concerned that I be well enough to attend school when
my next term started and that I not miss any school; I was
maintaining a 4.0 grade average.
The day of my surgery, Dr. Yamini took the time to sit and
talk to me for a while before marking my body. He made me
feel comfortable and excited about the surgery. He even had
the anesthesiologist talk to me in depth about how they would
sedate me. I knew I was in good hands, and my husband felt
very confident in Dr. Yamini.
When I woke up from my surgery I was alert and feeling great,
he had hooked me up to a pain pump that lasted 48 hours, what
a wonderful concept! I felt the immediate relief of the surgery
and was up and walking with assistance three hours after surgery.
By the third day I was able to get up and walk without assistance.
As the days moved on, I felt better and better. I stopped
taking my pain medications by the third day. Dr. Yamini came
to visit me at the recovery retreat three times during my
first week, but called every day to check in with the nurses
regarding my progress. This made me feel very good.
Since my surgery, I have received numerous complements on
how great I look, needless to say I feel like a million bucks!
Dr. Yamini’s staff is always happy to see me and still
treat me like family. I am grateful to Dr. Yamini for his
care and expert surgery skills. He told me that once someone
becomes his patient, they are his patient for life; and I
believe him. He has changed my life for the better; I am wearing
women’s shirts again and my pant size is now 7, and
sometimes I even fit in a 6…oh…and he gave me
a really cute belly button too!!!
Michael Jean Wolfe
Van Nuys, CA
----------------------
My name is Carol and I am a 53 year old woman who has battled
obesity almost all of my life. One day a very important person
in my life asked me to make him “just one promise”
as he put it.. I suffered with Lupus, High Blood Pressure,
Arthritis in both knees, back and neck, hypothyroidism, and
I was morbidly obese; weighing 317 pounds. My height was only
5”2”. Not a pretty picture.
I finally had [gastric bypass] surgery in October of 2006.
The surgery went well. The second phase of my physical and
mental transition was to find a cosmetic surgeon who would
be able to remove all of the excess skin that I had; and believe
me there was so much. Although, I had lost a tremendous amount
of weight (approximately 175 lbs), I would stand in front
of a full length mirror and still see an obese women looking
back at me. So off I went again, on another hunt for the “right”
cosmetic surgeon. . I interviewed five surgeons. Three close
to home (Ventura County), one in Santa Barbara, and the last
one in Beverly Hills. The last one was Dr. Daniel Yamini of
Sunset Cosmetics Surgery, located in Beverly Hills, CA.
Dr. Yamini has a true understanding and empathy in regards
to those of us who have suffered from obesity and he understands
the importance of one’s body image. Dr. Yamini’s
ability, knowledge and mastery in transitioning an individual’s
body image from fat and flabby to “beautiful”
are a true gift. He is a surgeon who believes in the quality
of his work rather than the quantity. He is very conservative
and will tell you if he feels your expectations are not in
your best interest. He is a member of what is referred to
as the “Dream Team” of Cosmetic Surgeons; and
he has indeed made my dreams come true.
My surgery took place just as planned. I had a full body lift.
I experienced very little post-operative pain and no complications.
I was back to work within two weeks. I went back to see Dr.
Yamini in November to have a breast and arm lift. Again the
surgery went as planned with no complications. The scarring
is almost invisible, and I look and feel better than I could
have ever imagined. Even my personal doctors who have cared
for me throughout the years are amazed at the transition and
the skill in which Dr. Yamini’s surgical procedures
have turned out. They all have stated he is indeed a gifted
surgeon.
Dr. Yamini’s caring nature toward his patients goes
beyond a doctor/patient relationship. At any time during the
pre or post operative timeframes, you can feel free to call
Dr. Yamini, and he will personally call you back and graciously
give you the time needed to answer your questions and/or concerns.
He and his wonderful, professional staff are always there
for you to ensure that you have and get everything you need
to ensure your experience and recover through the cosmetic
transition is a wonderful, satisfying, and that your final
outcome is that of complete satisfaction.
In closing, I want to encourage all of you who may be thinking
of having surgery to take that step and “Do It.”
Do it for yourself and those that you love, do it for the
opportunity to experience a beautiful, healthy future.
