NARRATOR: For Dr. William Umansky and Dr.
Jeffrey Umansky, performing plastic surgery
is more than just a job.
You see, it's been a part of their family
history for more than 40 years.
Their father Dr. Charles Umansky started the
family practice back in 1972.
DR.
WILLIAM UMANKSY: I remember in high school
he came to our school to give some lectures
on plastic surgery and what he did, and I
remember sitting in on one of those lectures
and not only being fascinated, but also being
very proud of him and the type of work that
he did to help people, and I think that was
my early motivation to go into plastic surgery.
DR.
JEFFREY UMANSKY: I think I was probably born
to do this.
My father and my brother having done it before
me was certainly probably an influence, but
was probably also a sign that it's in our
genes.
NARRATOR: The Umansky Medical Center for Plastic
Surgery is located here in the 4100 Block
of Regions Park Row in La Jolla.
When patients walk inside, the quickly notice
the warm and comfortable surroundings, and
a staff that truly cares about helping each
patient achieve their plastic surgery goals.
In other words, every patient is treated like
an extended member of the family.
DR.
WILLIAM UMANSKY: From the very start, with
the initial phone call or email inquiry, I
think patients find that our practice is a
little bit different than a lot of practices.
DR.
JEFFREY UMANSKY: That's very important; we
want the experience here to be very comfortable
and genuine.
BARBARA: They meet you, greet you, they know
your first name, you feel like you're family,
and when you see Dr. Umansky, it's the same
way.
He always gives you a hug and you get that
warm and fuzzy feeling.
NARRATOR: One of the aspects of this practice
that patients really appreciate is the onsite
state of the art plastic surgery center.
The safety and privacy that this surgery center
provides is second to none.
DR.
JEFFREY UMANSKY: Our facility is quad ASF
certified, which is the highest standard that
you can get outside of a hospital, and we
find that safety is the most important aspect
of our practice.
We have four wonderful, board certified, anesthesiologists
that rotate through, and have taken care of
thousands of patients, and have done a wonderful
job.
NARRATOR: In addition to the plastic surgery
center, patients are also offered a full range
of medical skin care that's provided by their
licensed esthetician.
Whether patients are looking to have a breast
augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, or
facial rejuvenation, both doctors always strive
to provide the most natural looking result
possible.
DR.
WILLIAM UMANSKY: We find it really important
to provide our patients with a natural look.
Most patients really don’t want other people
to know that they've had cosmetic surgery.
They want to look great, they want to feel
great, but they don’t want it to be obvious.
DR.
JEFFREY UMANSKY: What we're looking for is
patients to look rejuvenated.
We don’t want them to look different than
what they're used to looking, we want them
to walk into a room and have their friends
and family say you know, something looks different
about you, what did you do?
Have you lost weight, have you been working
out, you look really good.
NARRATOR: Looking good goes with the lifestyle
here in the San Diego area, it's something
most everyone in this seaside community is
striving for.
Helping people achieve their plastic surgery
goals is something this plastic surgery family
has been doing for decades, and will continue
to do today and into the future.
DR.
JEFFREY UMANSKY: I love what I do; it gives
me an opportunity to interact with people,
to get to know people, to hopefully make a
very positive and everlasting change in their
life.
DR.
WILLIAM UMANSKY: I think it's important for
both myself and my brother to carry on the
family tradition of providing plastic surgical
services to the San Diego community.
It's something that our name has been known
for in this region, and I think it's something
that we feel very good about being able to
do.
