00: 05- Time taken by ultherapy depends on areas treated- cheeks, face, upper neck;

Ultherapy treatment usually takes anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours depending on the areas we are treating. If we just treat a single area, say the cheeks that might take a half hour-45 minutes to treat an entire face, and upper neck takes about an hour and ten minutes, and if we are gonna treat the entire face, upper neck, lower neck, which we call an extended neck, that may take up to two hours. So the treatment time varies depending on the areas we are treating. To treat the décolleté, that takes about 30 minutes.

00:10- He discusses about when the patients can apply make up after an upper eyelid surgery;

01:00- He shares how at Persky Sunder Facial Plastic Surgery, they carry out the procedure perfectly;

After an upper eye lid surgery, the stitches are in place for 4-5 days, and once the stitches are taken out, we ask patients to wait for another day or two before applying any make up to the eyes, but usually, after about a week, patients can see the results, and they can cover up any little bruise or scar with a little bit of make up. It is usually by two to three weeks that they just look incredible. So, you see the result almost immediately, although the stitches are there; but then, as things heal over time, patients just get better and better. And it’s the type of procedure that really needs to be done only once when it’s done properly. Here at Persky Sunder Facial Plastic Surgery, we pride ourselves in taking out just enough skin so that the eyelids can still close, yet getting out all of the excess skin. So, patients don’t really need a second procedure.

00:20- He shares how people ask him about products like juvederm, voluma;

00:35- He speaks about how any product can be great and any product can result in a plastic surgical disaster;

01:00- He explains why it is important to choose the most suitable aesthetic physician;

01:35- He discusses how they want their patients to have long term plans and results;

People want to know why such and such product is bad; As per Dr. Persky, it’s not about the product; Any product can be great, and any product can be used to make people look like plastic surgical disasters. So it’s not the product, not the treatment, not the surgery, but the person who is performing that surgery. It really behooves you as a patient to do your due diligence and choose your aesthetic physician more carefully, based on their artistic vision, their skill, knowledge and experience to ensure getting the best results. In our practice, there are many times we see patients and tell them that they really don’t need anything; We want to make a long term plan, and help them achieve and maintain their goals for many years. So it’s not about using a particular product in a particular way, but it’s about using everything in an artistic manner that is best for the patient.

00:04- He talks about how rhinoplasty is one of the treatments that they love to do at Persky Sunder Facial Plastic Surgery;

00:20- He discusses how patients ask them about their candidature for rhinoplasty;

00:45- He says that the most common reason for going in for a nose job is a bump on the nose, bridge, profile, or if the nose is too big;

01:40- He shares how they wish the eyes of the patient to get all the focus, rather than the nose;

02:00- He discusses the importance of consulting with a few different rhinoplasty surgeons

02:34- He welcomes patients with questions on rhinoplasty;

One of the things we love to do the most at Persky Sunder Facial Plastic Surgery is rhinoplasty. One of the things we are often asked is ‘Am I a candidate for rhinoplasty?’ Whether or not, you are a good candidate for nose job really depends on what it is that bothers you, how much it bothers you, and the skill, experience, and knowledge of the physician you are consulting with. The most common reasons patients see us for rhinoplasty is the little bump on the nose, bridge, profile, or if the nose is too big. Certainly all those things can be addressed with rhinoplasty; It’s good to sit down and let your surgeon know what bothers you, what you expect, and what you’ll be happy with.

Usually, our philosophy is that the nose should look natural and should get out of the way of the other facial features; the nose shouldn’t be the central focus when somebody is looking at your photograph or you in person. So if it’s a large hump on the nose, we eliminate that and all of a sudden, your eyes pop out, and we want the eyes to be the central focus of your face in person, and in photographs. So, whether or not you are a candidate for rhinoplasty is something that bothers you and if it can be easily corrected with rhinoplasty, then you are a candidate for rhinoplasty. But make sure that you consult with different rhinoplasty surgeons, and get a feel that they are listening to you and have a natural artistic vision. We will carry out a procedure that will meet your goals and not their set standard cookie-cutter rhinoplasty. If you have any questions about rhinoplasty, then please feel free to contact us.

00:10- He discusses the most common nose problems for which patients wish to seek rhinoplasty for;

00:40- He further shares how they use computer imaging to photoshop the nose;

01:10- He discusses the importance of carrying out the imaging procedure accurately;

01:38- He shares how he consults with the patients prior to the treatment;

In our consultation for rhinoplasty, we like to consult with patients; Usually, a few things that bother the patients are bump on the nose, width of the tip, the nose might be big, or turned up too much. What we are able to do once we know what’s bothering the patient and by adding our own input, we sit and take photographs from the front and from the side, and then we are able to use computer imaging to photoshop the nose. Anybody can photoshop the nose, but what’s significant with photoshop is that it’s done to the extent that the result in real life should be matched with the photoshop. So anybody can make a nice looking nose but when I am photoshoping or computer imaging a patient’s nose, I’ll take it down to the point where I know with my surgical techniques I can give the patient that result, and it’s usually quite accurate, particularly on the profile views; So it’s nice to be able to consult with the patient and then let them see what their nose may look like after the surgery.

00:10- Introduction to Restylane Silk;

00:38- Dr. Persky elaborates on how restylane silk is used, and gives a detailed demonstration on the procedure of injecting restylane silk;

01:45- He discusses what the ratio of the upper lip and the lower lip ought to be;

02:10- He explains the technique and that how it is different from other fillers;

04:00- He shares how the procedure is comfortable for patients, and how can ice be useful during the procedure;

Every woman wants beautiful lips and kissable lips; Restylane Silk is advanced new facial filler that is giving women the most natural lip augmentation ever. It is available at Persky Sunder Facial Plastic Surgery in Encino, one of the first practices in US and California to use the first exceptional hyaluronic acid facial filler.

As per Dr. Persky, the restylane silk is strained through a very fine strainer so that we get very fine particles; what makes it different is that when we put it in, it layers and forms a kind of sheet below the surface of your skin.

Dr. Persky was one of the top facial fillers injecting physicians from around the world to be invited to become a certified trainer for restylane silk and other products.

As per him, as per facial anatomy, the bottom lip of the patient in the video should be slightly larger than her upper lip as per the divine ratio. He measures the width of her lower lip and the upper lip and speaks about an ideal ratio of 1:1.618.

He is explaining the technique and how it is different from other fillers.
Dr. Persky is an artist as well as a surgeon, and he looks at the entire face and its proportion working from side to side to ensure that the result is perfect.

Dr. Persky said that he only used a third of a syringe with maximum he uses restylane silk around the lips being one syringe, because the hyaluronic acid particles are filtered to be the smallest amongst facial fillers, allowing it to naturally spread where it is injected, resulting in a very natural smooth filling of lines and wrinkles. The procedure is also very comfortable for most patients; Dr. Persky explains how using ice distracts patients from discomfort during procedure.

Results of restylane silk are expected to stay anywhere from six to nine months.

00:30- He discusses how he counsels his patients to create some realistic expectations from the treatment;

Many patients come in with a bunch of celebrities’ photographs and tell the doctor that they want to look like them; It is my job to see what the patient has and what he wants, and then create a realistic expectation, based on my skill and what I know can be accomplished. He explains it with an example of a lady who wished to go in for rhinoplasty.

So, I tell them that you are not going to look exactly like your favorite celebrity and that you should set some realistic expectations and not look like the celebrity.

00: 17- Dr. Persky discusses why it is important to see a core physician;

00: 40- He shares that some patients ask reasons for their charging more than other physicians, and discusses the reasons for the same;

The important thing about seeing a core physician is that they have been specifically trained to treat the face, and are well versed with what works and what doesn’t; and most importantly, they know how to avoid dangerous complications which is so important for patients. Some patients ask why are you charging more than a neighborhood Medspa across the street, and the reason for that is that there can be no price that can be put on safety and avoiding deforming somebody. Patients are not paying for the products that they get at the Medspa vs they get from a core physician, but they are paying for the training, knowledge, skill and experience to get a great result in a safe and most efficient manner.

00:05- Dr. Persky shares that it is important to get all the information from the physician’s office before undergoing any procedure;

00:20- He shares why it is important for the patients to know about things that need to be done before and after the surgery so as to ensure utmost care;

When patients decide to have a procedure done, they should have all the information from the office of the physician to know what to expect from the procedure and to have everything ready at home for the recovery. For instance, if someone has a rhinoplasty, there are many things that one needs to take care of post treatment. The same goes for patients who undergo laser procedures as they need to know the necessary precautions they should take as it can truly affect their final results.
