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.

Last week, one month and a week out
Karla J.

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!!!

Thank you Dr. Edelson, for giving me the most natural and refreshed look! The facelift and upper…read moreand lower eyelid surgery went so smoothly and almost painless. Recovery was speedy and non eventful. The most surprising moment was on the morning of day 2-3 postop (when swelling receded), I discovered my two large sparkling eyes! I was so delighted and thankful that you proposed the eyelid surgery. It does make a great impact on my facial expressions. In addition, liposuction on the lower eye and the neck erased many years of biological aging. During postop care, you were very attentive, meticulously removing sutures progressively. I now realized facial surgery is a very demanding procedure, in terms of precision, delicacy of dissection and stitching, and exceptional experience to judgment on how much skin to remove according to a person's skin quality. In addition, there is the demand of symmetry and balance. These can only be achieved through a combination of sophisticated skills, enormous experiences, and a natural talent of aesthetic judgment. I truly admire plastic surgeons. As a person, you are warm, kind, and sincere, with a calm and down to earth demeanor. I enjoyed our conversations very much. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and be a patient of yours. I choose my plastic surgeon well. I highly recommend Dr. Edelson to be your surgeon too.

From consultation to the final result, Dr. Edelson was incredibly thorough and attentive!

I highly recommend Dr. Edelson for anyone seeking a skilled & caring team.

Dr. Goldman, fellows and office staff have been extremely kind and gentle with my laser tattoo…read moreremoval process. I was going to wait to write this review, however I am very pleased with my first two visits and will continue to update this review as the story unfolds. This office uses state of the art lasers to remove the incapsulated tattoo. Having several tattoos I will be visiting quite a few times spaced out which gives time to heal at each stage. Highly recommend this office for your skincare and tattoo removal needs.

I contacted Cosmetic Laser Dermatology because I was interested in a specific cosmetic filler…read moretreatment and wanted basic pricing before scheduling. The experience was disappointing and, in my opinion, not transparent. I asked multiple times for pricing on a clearly defined request: two syringes of cheek filler, including common options such as Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Contour, or RHA 4. Instead of a meaningful estimate, I was told the price could range from $400 to $3,000. That range is so broad that it is almost meaningless. The real concern is that the practice then expects patients to pay a $250 consultation fee just to find out what the service may actually cost. I fully understand that a physician needs to evaluate anatomy, goals, product choice, and treatment planning before giving a final recommendation. But for common self-pay cosmetic injectables, a medical practice should be able to provide baseline pricing, including consultation fees, per-syringe pricing, and realistic treatment ranges before asking someone to pay for a consult. The staff member I spoke with was polite, and this review is not about the doctors' clinical skill. The physicians may be excellent. My concern is with the business policy and the lack of upfront pricing transparency. As someone who has worked in healthcare for many years, I found this approach troubling. Patients should not have to pay $250 just to get basic pricing information for a commonly performed cosmetic service. It creates mistrust and makes the financial side of the practice feel opaque and unfair. I chose not to move forward because I did not feel comfortable with the pricing process. I would encourage the practice to publish clear pricing ranges, train staff to answer basic cost questions, and provide patients with useful cost information before requiring a paid consultation.

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. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

That's not how this place is, Kathy told me that the goal is to keep my symptoms at bay and not go through up and downs, where I'm having symptoms and I get treatment, it goes away and it comes backs. I now have a clear goal and plan where she will assess how I'm going after each treatment and see how to adjust for the next. after just a few days I already see positive changes. On another note when coming here it is in the medical center so come 15 minutes before your appointment to give you time to park and find the place since it is an area with a lot of medical offices. Also, you do have to pay to park but they did validate my parking.
