    Regular Botox visit--every three months
    Charles C.

    "Dr. Bill" Umansky is a highly qualified and very kind plastic surgeon. He has an excellent manner with his patients that makes you feel fully welcome and at ease in his office. The staff are equally kind and professional. It should also be noted that Dr. Bill's office offers not only a full range of plastic surgery procedures, but they also offer beauty tretaments as well. in other words, you can get your Botox and Juviderm procedures in the same place you got your facelift. All very convenient! Highly recommended.

    Dr. Umansky is the best plastic surgeon in San Diego. I am 66 yrs old and I researched multiple facelift surgeons both in LA and in SD. I had 3 consultations and I was most impressed with Dr. William Umansky. From the very start, when I first reached out to his office I received an immediate response from Kayley Wolf who educated me with his procedures and answered all my questions. She gave me his pricing, which met my budget and I proceeded with my initial consultation. From the minute I walked into the office, Shannan, front desk staff, greeted me with a big smile and was so polite. I was immediately brought back and I was so pleased when he came in. Dr. Umansky was so nice, so humble and warm. Very soft spoken, friendly and approachable. I immediately felt at ease. He examined me, took his time, did not rush, answered all my questions and most importantly, he did not upsell me on unnecessary procedures, which both of my first doctors did. I trusted him and scheduled my surgery. The procedure went well and I could not believe how good I looked on post op day 1. He was so gentle with my face, did not hurt me during the initial post op visit nor on any following. I look absolutely amazing and my results by far exceeded my expectations. I'm one month out and this is just the beginning. Zero complications. I highly recommend Dr. William Umansky as a facelift plastic surgeon. I am so grateful to his utmost knowledge, expertise and care. If you are looking for a facelift surgeon in SD, look him up and make a consultation bc you will not be disappointed.

    Right implant

    I did breast augmentation and lift about ten years ago. Immediately after the first surgery, I knew it was wrong. One side was HUGE compared to the other, and measuring from neck to nipple, they were off by like three inches with the right one pointing to the right, and the left one pointing down. When I mentioned this to the office, I was told "you are wrong, they just need to settle." I also got an infection in one of the incisions which I could both see and feel (large bump with redness all around). I contacted the office about that too and was told it was fine. It irrupted two days later leaving first a hole in the incision and then a noticeable hard round scar within the normal scar. Fast forward six months later, for the very necessary "corrective" surgery where I had to pay for anesthesiologist even though clearly the Dr made mistakes (didnt follow the measure twice cut once rule I guess), my nipples ended up even but both now pointing to the right, and my left nipple ended up about two centimeters smaller diameter than the right (not that it was round). Additionally, my right breast was still way bigger than the left. At that time I was in my very early 30s, and not willing to go for a third surgery (which was Umansky's recommendation) where I would have to pay for the anesthesiologist AND possibly new implants because during the "corrective" surgery they added 75ccs to the left one to try and even it out (which was still ultimately way smaller than the right). Aside from all that I felt very unsupported during the process. My concerns were dismissed, even though validated, and I spent the last ten years with deformed breast, which impacted by daily life (I couldnt wear anything but sports bras) and it impacted my self esteem. Maybe my experience is a one off, I certainly hope it is, and maybe Dr. Umansky has improved as this was ten years ago. Note: I originally mentioned that the implant was upside down. My current surgeon informed me that sometimes they do flip. He also informed me that it was the left (smaller breast) that had the over filled implant, not the right one, even though it was my right breast that remained much larger than the left.

    I had my breast reduction done by Doctor Umansky and I am over the moon! He did an AMAZING Job! I have had severe back problems for over a decade, and I finally took the plunge into something about it. Oh, my clothes fit better, and I'm so much happier with my overall appearance, and overall health. I have to say the whole team is phenomenal over there. Everyone is so kind and friendly and knowledgeable, especially Terry that worked out all of the logistics! She was so patient welcoming, and kind! She thoroughly explained all of the financial options made it really easier for me to plan for the surgery!

    10/10 recommend! I looked at a lot of offices in San Diego and I had high expectations being a fellow healthcare professional but I saw Dr. Jeffery U and he was AMAZING, he definitely put me at ease! He had such excellent bedside manner- so un-plastic surgeon-like I 1000% trust his medical judgement, I get compliments on my girls all the time and send everyone I know to him! I also love Lala, she's the sweetest!!!

Thought, from the commercial it would be an easy process with little downtime....long story short they convinced me to do a mommy makeover. The day of surgery I stayed in a hotel over night near there as I had follow up the next day. My bed looked like a crime scene I bled out so much. Within a week, I had an infection so bad the doctor told me to put a Kotex with bleach in the incision, which was the worst pain ever. He then had me start going to his Culver Ciry office, since it was closer to me and it was dirty and gross. Thankfully it was just for follow up. In 2023, I noticed leaking from my belly button on occasion but so minimal I didn't think too much about it. It would happen in rare occasions. Now fast forward to 2025, my belly button started really leaking and it smelled horrible. Went to my doctors, had to go through ultrasounds, ct scans, blood work....nothing. My belly would swell on occasion as big as someone who was 7 mi the pregnant. Finally they had me just walk in while leaking and swabbed it. It was an infection. They recommended seeing a plastic surgeon since they deduced it may have been from my plastic surgery. I called Sono Bello in San Diego thinking they would be able to at least see me. They had no record of my surgery and wouldn't help me at all. I finally went to a plastic surgeon I was familiar with in Claremont. Here we are in 2026 and I just had surgery yesterday to remove infected sutures in my belly button. The infection had gotten so bad the hole in my belly button was the size of an eraser head. Sono Bello was nice as could be when taking my money but the fact they had no record of my surgery or refused to even try to help was appalling. Do NOT fall for the scam, you get what you pay for and investing in your body and health is worth more.

I was a long-time patient at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology and exclusively saw Dr. Loyal, who has since left the practice. I then booked with Dr. Sabrina Fabi for the first time, influenced by her large social media presence and how the front desk emphasized how hard it is to get an appointment with her. For context, I'm very experienced with Botox and have had it done many times in the same areas without issue. At this visit, I received Botox in my masseters, crow's feet, under-eye bag line, 11s, and forehead. None of these areas were new for me. Dr. Fabi arrived about 40 minutes late, which I was told is "typical." That night, I developed large, visible lumps in my masseters and additional bumps near my temples when opening my mouth. I'd never experienced anything like this before. I returned to the office two days later and was told it was "normal" and that Botox takes two weeks to settle. By the time of my follow-up appointment nearly a week later, my appearance was extremely abnormal. The best way I can describe it is that I looked like a mix between Chiseled Squidward and Quasimodo. I pay a premium to go to a cosmetic dermatology practice because this is my face, and I expect expertise, precision, and accountability. At the follow-up, I felt dismissed and gaslit. While the masseter issue was acknowledged, my main concern was new bumps near my eyes that I never had before. Dr. Fabi insisted they were always there, which is simply not true. I have clear before photos. When I said I felt my before looked better, her response was, "Oh, with your hooded eyes?" That comment felt unnecessary and unprofessional. It has now been over a week since the follow-up and the bumps are still present. I paid $1,500 and feel worse about my appearance than when I walked in. Botox has risks, but the lack of ownership and dismissal of my concerns is why I won't be returning. I'll be sharing photos so others can make an informed decision.

After a year of…read moreconsidering a deep plane face/neck lift and searching for a surgeon who specialized in facial plastic surgery specifically, I finally scheduled a consultation and from the very first meeting, I knew I was in the hands of a true expert. His staff describe him as a "perfectionist" which I loved hearing especially when he was going to be working on my face...and he did not disappoint. I never thought I could look this good again at the age of 52. Dr. David took the time to explain the procedure in detail, answering every question with patience, and helping me to understand what results were realistically achievable. The surgery itself was seamless, and the level of care I received before, during, and after the procedure exceeded every expectation. My results look incredibly natural--refreshed, lifted, and youthful without that "done/stretched" look I was worried about. Friends keep telling me I look amazing but can't quite pinpoint why, which is exactly what I hoped for. Recovery was far easier than I anticipated, pain was very little to none and I looked mostly back to myself again in about 2 weeks which also exceeded my expectations. I had many questions along the way, and not only did I always feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for but also everything I was told was spot on with my experience; this grew a great deal of trust with Dr. David and his team. If you're considering a deep plane facelift, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. David. His skill, precision, and aesthetic eye are unmatched, and the confidence I've gained from this experience has been priceless.

From the start, before…read morethe consultation even began, I was asked to take photos for a simulation without being properly asked or informed, which I declined. During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are.

In terms of pain and the procedure - I was nervous about the pain that would be involved with the recovery, but I truly felt little to no pain. I didn't have to take any intense pain medication. I was up and moving around (with caution) the day after surgery. The techniques that Dr. Smoot uses to prevent pain post op is so amazing and my scars are barely visible! The team and the office staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process and you leave feeling like family. I just love the level of service they provide! I am now 2 months post op and I couldn't be happier! I'm so happy with my decision to switch out my implants, and even happier that I chose Dr. Smoot to be my surgeon before he retires.
