Jeffrey A Umansky, MD, FACS

Dr Jeffrey Umansky is a skilled, professional, cosmetic surgeon. I am in the medical field, as is my husband, so when we choose a physician, we do our research. After looking far and wide, and getting a ton of recommendations, we chose Dr. Jeff for surgery. His training alone is impressive. WHICH IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT when choosing a surgeon. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Umansky, not only was the surgery a success, his bedside manner is second to none. He WANTS his patients to be happy. I will be a patient of his for years to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It’s always a tricky task finding a doctor. Especially so if what you’re looking for is a surgeon. I discovered Dr. Jeffrey Umansky through word of mouth and I sought him out. Being a medical professional (nurse), the word of your colleagues are far more valuable than anything. I really did not consult with another surgeon after my initial meeting with him in 2011 for Breast reduction and lift. Why waste my time? I found a surgeon who was not only deemed to be good at his craft but on top of that he has the best bedside manners and amorous personality that a doctor could and should have. I have worked with, for and alongside so many doctors in my almost 20 year career as nurse and I have yet to find one that measures up to Dr. Umansky. So with my first procedure… I went by his professionalism, knowledge, and ability to satisfy my questions about the procedure through educating me on what is exactly going to happen, how he was going to go about it and what the outcome would be. And true enough… I was more than pleased with the results.
As another opportunity to improve myself came around as I wanted to undergo Blepharoplasty, tummy tuck and thigh lift… I couldn’t imagine not going back to Dr. Umansky. This time around, I was more than confident to come back. He is always very reassuring and so sure of himself which makes you, the patient, more confident about a life-​changing decision.
To date, I am going into the second week of my recuperation from the above mentioned procedures and I not only feel great… I am so happy with the results once again. Dr Umansky delivers over and beyond his promise. His team which is comprised of his anesthesiologists, nurses and medical assistants are a group of stellar individuals who also makes an impact in the course of your care. They give you the impression of being taken cared of by family. A trait that you can’t fake but is innate and continually instilled by a reputable surgeon like Dr Jeffrey Umansky. I don’t think they, as a whole, realize their great impact on their patients. And as firsthand experience, I have to say that he and his team had changed my life yet again for the better… because the woman that looks back at me in the mirror is more confident than ever and excited about the future.
No words can express my utmost appreciation to you, Dr Umansky. More power to you and your practice.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Jeff Umansky and his staff. As I registered nurse, I am probably one of the worst kinds of patients. I tend to be very nervous about procedures/​surgery because I know and have seen what can go wrong. You could say I know a little too much. Dr. Umansky and his group were very understanding and supportive. The nurses are great, and the staff is very professional. I’ve had several procedures and surgeries performed by Dr. Umansky, and am so happy with the results. For example, smart-​Lipo was performed on my chin/​neck area. I am not a big person, but was blessed with the double chin gene. Thanks to Dr. Umansky, I no longer have a double chin; it looks like the chin I should have been born with. The pre-​op consultations are great, and Dr. Umansky explains everything that is to be expected and answers all questions honestly. I was very concerned about looking fake or unnatural, but Dr. Umansky goes out of his way to give a natural look to his patients. His follow-​up care is great, too, and the office calls the next day to make sure one is doing OK and doesn’t have any concerns.
I’ve also had several botox and filler injections done by Dr. Umansky. I love that he does the actual injections instead of a nurse. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I no longer have wrinkles on my forehead, and as a bonus I no longer get headaches! My coworkers keep saying my skin looks great, they know something is different, but can’t put their finger on it. That is exactly the result I was looking for. I don’t want it to be obvious that I’ve had botox or fillers; that’s never a good look. I will be seeing Dr. Umansky every 3 months for botox so it’s a bonus that he is probably one of the nicest guys ever. He is always smiling and very upbeat. His great bedside manner really makes slightly painful procedures easier.
I will be going to Dr. Umansky for the foreseeable future. He’s stuck with me! I have recommended him to several friends as well. They all love him and the results!

Long review, worth the read.
Dr. Jeff changed my life. Best Dr in San Diego hands down. I was extremely self conscious of my large nose and weak profile. I did a lot of research before choosing a plastic surgeon, visited 6 Drs and almost did not see Dr Jeff because there was a 3 week wait for a consultation at the time. THANK GOD I DID. Best choice ever. He is humble, kind, listens, and gave me honest realistic feedback on what I could expect with results for what I wanted.
Although he may be famous for breast augmentations and mommy make-​over, I think in a prime example of his world class skill.
He preformed on me:
Nose job
Chin implant
Otoplasty (bringing my ears closer to my head)
SmartLipo under my chin and neck
And removed fat pockets from my chest
My face and confidence has been immensely enhanced and I love the results! The scares are near INVISIBLE and I can barely find them when actually looking which to me is the biggest victory!
Since gaining my trust, I have become a regular of Dr. Jeff and received other services including cool sculpting, facial fillers, and Botox, which he is also amazing with! He never does too much which is awesome, never makes me feel self conscious, he never rushes with me, I never have to wait once I arrive, and he never try’s to upgrade me or sell me things.
I have referred several family members and close friends who have received surgical and non surgical procedures from him and have had great results as well. So happy to have found Dr. Jeff! If it’s not obvious, let me say I would highly recommend him!

Beware of smartlipo! I had a little fat after pregnancy and I told him I’ve worked out and I’m a size 2 but just want to remove the pooch I was left with after pregnancy. I clearly said I don’t want to look like tiara reed because I am always in a bathing suit. This was the worst decision of my life! where he preformed smartlipo, it is all bumpy full of dents leaving my stomach deformed! I have never felt so insecure and on top of that he said it can’t be fixed! Also the smartlipo he did on my love handles look like he took chunks out of my sides. Do not do smart lipo anywhere and look for a plastic surgeon that his specialty is liposuction and not just good reviews on breast augmentation.

I got referred to Dr. Jeff from a friend of mine who worked as a nurse for him and he was very compassionate with me about some of my scars from a recent hear surgery. He was realistic about setting expectations for how the scars could improve and where they might be limited and once we agreed together that it was worth the scar revision surgery he promptly got me scheduled and the procedure was quick and got me out of there and relaxing at home with little fuss. I have been back every month for the past year to get laser treatment to aid in the healing of the incisions. He and his staff always greet me with a smile and take care to make sure I am comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Jeff and his staff for corrective surgery as he is an honest guy with great surgical skills.

I decided to get another opinion on laser treatment for the sun damaged skin on my face and am really glad that I did. Dr. Jeffrey Umansky was so good at explaining the laser procedure and I was immediately convinced that I would do it. He was much more reasonable than the first quote. I was even able to have my ears pinned back at the same time. I am so happy with the entire experience and with the results. I feel so much better about myself and I even wear my hair pulled back. Dr. Jeffrey is so careful to listen and give enough options that it is easy to customize your own procedure. The staff is wonderful and made me feel very comfortable.
I highly recommend Dr. Umansky.

I used customer reviews to find Dr. Umansky. I’m so happy I did, he knew exactly what I wanted. I was certain I was in the right place as soon as I met him. I’m so pleased with the results! His staff is attentive, greeting you and responding to emails quickly. He is a very skilled plastic surgeon, recovery was much easier than I anticipated. I no longer live in the La Jolla area but I will continue to return to Dr. Umansky.

I’m glad i shopped around before choosing a doctor to perform my gyno removal procedure. Jeff Umansky has done an excellent job, addressed all of my concerns, and has been very professional. He is very personable, made me feel comfortable and most importantly made me feel taken care of. He stands behind his work 100% and offers competitive and VERY fair pricing-​far less than what other clinics quoted me for. I am currently at 3 months post op and am very happy with the results, and have already referred several friends. Thanks Doc!

Dr. Umansky is great! I currently get my botox from him and he does such a good, natural job. Great bedside manner and very professional! I have referred many of my friends to him and they have all been ver happy! Thanks Dr. Umansky!

I have been so happy with Dr. Jeffrey Umansky! He does a great job and is so nice and easy to talk to. He listens to my concerns and gives great treatment suggestions. Also he explains everything thoroughly. I have been so happy with all of my treatments. He does a great job of taking years off, all while still looking very natural! I recommend him to anybody looking for a surgeon, or anybody that just wants more youthful and refreshed skin.

It is extremely nerve racking finding a surgeon out of the sea of plastic surgeons in California. It is a very risky (and expensive) chance on your appearance and health when trusting someone you don’t know. I am SOOOOOO happy I went to Dr. Umansky. He is very professional, understanding and skilled. His nurses and staff are complete angels; very friendly and also very good at what they do. At no time did I ever feel pressured into doing something I didn’t want to. That’s not what they are about, they just want you to have a comfortable and positive experience. I am also VERY happy with the results of my breast augmentation. He did a fantastic job and I healed very well. It has only been three months and there is hardly evidence of any scar. I couldn’t be happier with how I look now. I can’t say enough good things about this doctor and his people. If you are having a hard time finding/​trusting a doctor… come here!!!

I’m in my mid thirties and I’ve had severe cellulite on my thighs my entire life. I’ve never had the confidence to wear anything above the knee and dreaded wearing bikinis. After several years of working out and eating healthy with no change at all, I discovered a procedure called Cellulaze offered by Dr. Jeff Umansky. It CHANGED my life! It was a 2 hr procedure with no downtime. I had it done on a Friday so could take it easy before returning to work but was walking around within hours after the procedure. I had immediate results within 2 wks and continue to see improvements. Best results are 6 months out and I’m at 5 months. I did extensive research on all the different cellulite treatments available and am so thankful that I found Dr. Jeff Umansky and the Cellulaze treatment. The only regret I have is not doing it sooner!
Dr. Jeff Umansky is exceptional! He made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I never felt rushed and he gave explanations that were easy to understand on how the procedure worked. I was extremely nervous the day of the procedure and he made me feel at ease immediately. With Dr. Umansky’s credentials (BOARD CERTIFIED!!) and experience, I had no doubt in my mind I was in good hands. Dr. Umansky’s staff is very caring and professional. They even went out of their way to call me on their personal time to answer my questions.

I went to see Dr. Jeff Umansky for a consultation regarding breast augmentation revision. I have had saline implants for 14 years and noticed a lot of rippling around the breast. I was already planning on having my original plastic surgeon (Dr. Rey a.k.a Dr. 90 210) perform the surgery but my sister-​in-​law encouraged me to see Dr. Umansky. After my consultation with him I completely changed my mind. From beginning to end the experience was exceptional. The office staff were welcoming, friendly, and professional. Dr. Umansky took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. Most importantly he gave me real expectations which made me truly believe and trust him with this surgery. My results are amazing! I went with silicone breast implants this time and the look and feel of the breasts are more than I could have hoped for. Thank you Dr. Umansky for being and amazing plastic surgeon!

I have used the services as well as my friends. I have had the best treatment before and after. Answering all my questions understanding my concerns. The staff and Dr. Umansky are amazing. I have never felt to sure and safe going under than with them. Multiple visits before and after as well as access to doctors and nurses after hours to answer any questions or concerns. I have suggested to friends and family which have been and have had the same experience. Working in the medical field I find myself having higher expectations. They have certainly surpassed them. Great to for anyone especially anyone starting on their journey and need reassurance time and eat to listen.

My body image has always been so huge to me, considering iv owned one bathing suit in 5 years will make you a believer. I had high standards for what I wanted to look like and diet & exercise alone wasn’t cutting it. So, after doing my research on SmartLipo I decided that i would follow through with the procedure. I was interested in getting upper/​lower abs, waist, arms, flanks and lower back contoured, a lot right. I visited 3 other offices before making my decision and this was by far the best! Based on the pricing of the areas & the expertise given I knew this was the right choice. I was also put under anesthesia which was a huge comfort, as I found a lot of offices don’t do. The staff was so nice & welcoming, they help me with so many things from payments to any questions I had re-​guarding my areas of interest. I spoke with Heide from day one on working with my schedule, as I was pressed for time at last minute, she did everything she could to accommodate my situation & she was so nice about the whole thing. The day I had my consultation Dr. Umansky went over every question I had about this procedure, he made his time to cover everything with no rush. His confidence in all he answered for me and his opinions definitely made me feel at ease with everything. I knew he was the right Dr. for me! The day of the procedure everything went as smooth as possible, I was in and out in what seemed like no time. I believe 2.2 liters of fat was taken, that’s quite impressive! Its been one week since my procedure and all I have to say is WOW, I have faint to no scars, my swelling has already greatly reduced and I can already see what a difference this made. Its unbelievable! I was worried about having lumps or being uneven in areas but I’m not at all! my shape is curvy and already smooth! I know I’m going to be even more surprised as time goes by. For anyone who is doubting body contouring or nervous about the outcomes I would highly recommend this medical center judging on how my whole experience was and how I look now. Thank you so much Dr. Umansky you have no idea how much I appreciate your work!

I’m very happy with my lift. After having two kids, the «girls» weren’t in top form. On top of that, I was never happy with the way my breasts looked… I had seen other breast lift work Dr. J. Umansky had done on a friend and loved it… She still looked so natural, which was the look I wanted. I had other opinions but I really trusted and respected Dr. Jeff’s. He is so warm and friendly… Someone you can definitely trust for something so personal as plastic surgery. I told him the look I wanted and he listened. I’m so happy I went there and would strongly encourage anyone to check it out.

I am really happy that I went to Dr. Jeffery Umansky for my procedures! Every single person in his office made me feel right as ease as soon as I walked through their doors for the very first time when I went to get a consult on a tummy tuck. We got all of our questions answered & all of our concerns got put at ease. Everyone there is super friendly & knowledgeable! I was very happy with the results of my tummy tuck… So happy that I recently went back to get a breast augmentation, thigh lift & a bit of lipo! So far I’m loving the results! Every one took such good care of me before, during & after my surgery. I am very grateful to everyone there for taking such great care of me! Thank you Dr. Umansky for taking such good care of me & for giving me exactly what I wanted! You are amazing! I highly recommend Dr. Jeffery Umansky to anyone looking for someone professional, caring & truly talented to care of them! You’d truly be putting yourself in the greatest hands possible! Once again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Dr. Umansky, Margie, Heidi and everyone else who took such great care of me!!!

I found Jeff after having a bad experience with injections from another doctor. He was very kind, gentle and understanding and listened to me carefully. I have now been going to him for about 5 years and really like his conservative approach with me as I don’t want to look «overdone». I have recommended many friends and relatives to him who have also been very happy! I would highly recommend treating yourself to a consultation if you are considering any area of plastic surgery, injectables or laser treatments. His staff and office are also wonderful!

I was extremely happy with my surgery, my results, Dr. Umansky’s professionalism and his staff’s demeanor from my consultation all the way up through my post op follow-​ups. I’d highly recommend anyone to him for their procedures.
