Dr. Persky was asked to comment on whether Heidi Montag's recent multiple surgeries and the filming of the surgeries for the use in a future "reality" TV show was common.
In the article published today in the Orange County Register (http://inyourface.freedomblogging.com/2010/04/08/heidi-montag-needs-helium-filled-implants/16499/) Dr. Persky commented when asked about the fact that she cannot jog or hug, "No jogging, hugging, I think that she is leaving out one other important part of life, no schtupping! One upside of her predicament: She won’t have to worry about sex rehabilitation bills [like] Tiger and Jesse’s sex addiction problems. That’s the ‘breast’ that I can do in answering the breast questions.”
“As far as the surgery video, it is not unusual to video celebrity surgery for ‘reality’ television, but as the old wise man in the pizza parlor said loudly to his equally hard of hearing friends when a particularly steamy scene of MTV’s ‘Jersey Shore’ was on the flat screen, ‘Reality? That’s not reality!!!!’
Dr. Persky was honored this month to be included in the January 2010 issue of Los Angeles Magazine as one of the Southern California "Super Doctors" in Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery. Key Professional Media asked 31,000 medical professional to nominate one or more doctors, other than themselves, from specified medical specialties based on the one question: "If you needed medical care, which doctor would you choose?"
Happy and healthy 2010 to all. Be well.

The before and after photos are patients who have had a "full" Fraxel repair treatment. The patient treated on the video is having a Fraxel re:pair "Lite" treatment. The price quoted was for a "Lite" treatment. The before and after pictures are of "single" full re:pair treatments and are more costly.
Here we go again. Breaking news coverage of the Santa Barbara Fire diaster pre-empted the first scheduled apearance last Friday. Barring another major news story, Dr. Persky will be interviewed by the lovely and talented Jillian Barbarie on her Style File segment of Good Day LA on Monday morning and Tuesday morning. They will be discussing the "Next Big Thing" in facial rejuvenation, re:pair fractionated carbon dioxide laser skin rejuvenation. Want to look years younger, tune in Monday 5/11 at 8:15 am, and Tuesday 5/12 at 9:15 am FOX LA Channel 11. We will put the segment up on our web site media page as soon as it is available. Be well, hope that Mother's Day went well for all of you (not only for you deserving moms, but also for all the dads who tried to get it right, only to fall short of expectations once again).
Dr. Persky and the talented and most beautiful Ms. Jillian Barbarie discuss how to look years younger with a fast, relatively easy treatment. On Fox 11's morning show, "Good Day LA" at 8:15 am and 9:15 am Dr. Persky appears on Jillian's Style File segment. Dr. Persky's use of Fraxel re:pair laser skin rejuvenation, called the "Next Big Thing" in the April Vogue magazine by prominent NYC dermatologists will be featured, including an actual patient treatment as well as before and after photographs of his patients.
