Fracitional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser skin rejuvenation continues to be a very hot topic (pun intended) in facial plastic surgery. Dr. Persky recently appeared on PBS television’s American Health Journal, interviewed about fractionated CO2 laser skin rejuvenation with Fraxel repair. To learn about fractionated CO2 laser treatment from Dr. Persky, you can view the segment […]
As 2010 comes to an end, it is reported that over 35,000 patients have been treated with Coolsculpting by Zeltiq (some, but not all at Dr. Persky’s office!). 78 million dollars have been spent developing ZELTIQ. There are 300 CoolSculpting Centers in 22 countries worldwide. We are proud to offer Coosculpting by Zeltiq to our patients who prefer […]
Zeltiq: Fab or Drab? In my opinion, Zeltiq is definitely FAB! What if there was a way to target localized unwanted fat bulges that are resistant to diet and exercise with a quick, easy, safe, and effective non-invasive office treatment? Thanks to the great minds of physicians at Mass General Hospital (Harvard Medical School’s Hospital), a revolutionizing new technology […]
In a recent British study by Superbug, 3000 woman between the ages of 40 and 65 were polled about plastic surgery.

Dr. Persky […]

Heidi’s sincere words of wisdom about her plastic surgery experience (learned the hard way by America’s first darling of reality TV) on ABC’s “Celebrity […]
Liquid Rhinoplasty or the “Non-surgical Nose Job” has become popular in the past few years as a method of changing the shape of the nose without an operation. It is not a rhinoplasty, but the term was coined by enterprising physicians to create a niche for themselves. If you are interested in a Liquid Rhinoplasty, please […]
Oops! It looked like the most beautiful Heidi Klum’s left eyelid was a little droopy during her American Music Awards appearance tonight, possibly due to poorly placed Botox or Dysport injections (perhaps done by the same injector that drooped Paris Hilton’s left eyelid as well, see photo below). Should this ever occur, prescription Iopidine eye drops can help lift the lid temporarily, but it […]
Colin Stewart of the Orange County Register asked a most intriging question,“How true is the statement: Plastic surgery is so advanced now that anyone with money can become stunningly beautiful?” One of the lessons from the “Housewives of Beverly Hills”, and unfortunately many of the woman shopping Fashion Island, South Coast Plaza, and Rodeo Dr. […]
