How do you know when eyelid surgery is the right next step?

According to Dr. Jeffrey Umansky, it often comes down to how your eyes feel and function, not just how they look.

If heaviness, drooping skin, or puffiness are making your eyes look tired even when you’re rested—or if you’re noticing it starting to affect vision, makeup application, or confidence—these are signs it may be time to explore eyelid surgery.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is designed to restore a brighter, more open, more refreshed appearance while respecting your natural shape. The goal isn’t to change your expression—it’s to bring your eyes back into focus.

Wondering if you’re a good candidate for a tummy tuck? The answer usually comes down to how your abdomen feels and functions day-to-day, not just how it looks.

A tummy tuck is ideal for people who’ve done all the right things (strength training, core work, healthy habits) yet still feel like their midsection doesn’t respond. This often happens after pregnancy or weight changes, when the abdominal muscles stretch or separate and skin loses elasticity. No workout can repair that on its own.

If you’re noticing a stubborn lower belly that won’t tighten, lingering core weakness, discomfort in your midsection, or changes in posture or back support, those are strong indicators you may benefit from muscle repair and skin tightening.

During your consultation, Dr. William Umansky looks at anatomy, muscle integrity, skin quality, and your personal goals to decide whether this procedure is the right fit. The goal is always the same: restore strength, comfort, and confidence so your body feels like yours again.

Curious whether a tummy tuck is right for you? Call (858) 281-4560 to meet with our board-certified surgeons at Umansky Plastic Surgery in La Jolla.

When Dr. William Umansky talks about facelifts, he always starts with one thing: the SMAS.

The SMAS layer (short for “superficial musculoaponeurotic system”) is the deeper structural layer of the face, the one responsible for lift, support, and long-lasting results.

A true SMAS facelift doesn’t just tighten skin on the surface. It repositions the deeper tissues that naturally descend with age, restoring the foundation rather than stretching what’s on top.

This approach creates results that look natural, balanced, and never overdone. Skin lays smoothly because the structure underneath has been lifted correctly. And because the work is done at a deeper level, the outcome ages gracefully with you.

The truth about scars?

They’re inevitable.

Every surgical procedure leaves a scar. What matters is how it’s placed, how your body heals, and how you care for it afterward. At Umansky Plastic Surgery, we focus on all three.

Our surgeons plan incisions with intention, hiding them in natural creases and contours whenever possible.

Most patients are surprised by how discreet their scars become with time, consistency, and expert guidance.

This is what a truly functional transformation looks like.

This 40-year-old patient struggled with excess abdominal tissue that didn’t change with exercise or core strengthening. An abdominoplasty allowed Dr. Umansky to remove the loose skin, tighten the abdominal wall, and restore a smoother, stronger contour.

Her 1-year post-op results show the difference a thoughtfully executed procedure can make.

Facial aging isn’t just about wrinkles—it’s a layered process happening beneath the surface.

Over time, the bones that support the face subtly shift and resorb, the fat pads that create youthful volume begin to descend, and the skin loses elasticity. These changes work together, creating the hollowing, sagging, and laxity we start to notice in the mirror long before we feel “old.”

That’s why treating facial aging is never a one-step solution. Skincare can improve texture. Injectables can restore volume. Surgery can reposition deeper structures. Each layer plays a different role—so the approach has to match the anatomy.

At Umansky Plastic Surgery, we look at the full picture: bone, soft tissue, and skin. It’s this comprehensive understanding that allows us to create results that look balanced, natural, and true to you.

This 43-year-old patient came to us wanting fuller, more proportionate breasts while still maintaining a soft, natural look.

She underwent a submuscular breast augmentation using 400 cc silicone implants through a periareolar incision, allowing for a discreet scar and a smooth, seamless shape.

Her 7-month results show the hallmark of our approach: proportion, symmetry, and outcomes that enhance her figure without overpowering it.
