How Dr. Jeffrey Umansky describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • We want you to leave feeling prepared, informed and comfortable with exactly what comes next
  • The doctor believes that how the practice cares for patients after the procedure matters just as much as the procedure itself.

Specialization

  • Focuses on natural aesthetic results

  • The practice does not choose an implant based on only one factor.

Training & credentials

  • Dr. Jeffrey Umansky is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
  • The practice operates a board-certified surgical facility in San Diego.

Consultation

  • We look at your starting anatomy, skin, proportions and goals together to determine what changes will create the most balanced, natural result for your face
  • A full consultation and try-on gives you a much better understanding of what different sizes and profiles could look like on your body
  • So at the patient's pre-op appointment, they're gonna meet with the medical assistant first and go over all your pre and post-care instructions, get you nice and prepared for that surgery, leading up to surgery, and then for the few weeks following

Recovery guidance

  • Post-op care is where we focus on healing well, monitoring your progress, answering questions, and making sure everything is moving in the right direction
  • He wants to check your incisions, make sure everything is looking good, that there's not any abnormal swelling or bruising
  • Dr. Jeffrey Umansky's practice requires patients to return for a post-operative appointment the day after many surgeries.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Jeffrey Umansky

Sourced directly from Dr. Jeffrey Umansky's social posts and replies.

What does Dr. Umansky aim to achieve with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)?
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and restores a smoother, more supported, and defined abdominal contour, addressing structural changes caused by pregnancy that are difficult to reverse naturally. The goal is not perfection, but to help patients feel stronger, more comfortable, and more like themselves again, with results that feel balanced and proportionate to their body.

How is Umansky Plastic Surgery structured regarding its doctors?
Dr. Jeffrey Umansky and Dr. William Umansky operate as independent surgeons within the practice.
Source →
What are the features of Umansky Plastic Surgery's facility and their patient care philosophy?
The San Diego plastic surgery office combines advanced technology with private surgical suites. It operates as a board-certified surgical facility designed for safety, comfort, and results. Their associated med spa is staffed by board-certified providers. A patient-first philosophy guides every step of care, from pre-op to post-op, ensuring the space is designed with patient comfort in mind.
Source →
What is Dr. Umansky's approach to Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin from the upper eyelids to create a more open, refreshed appearance. The goal is not to change the patient's eyes, but to help them look more like themselves again, while preserving their natural appearance.
Source →
What is Dr. Umansky's philosophy and process for post-operative care?
Dr. Umansky believes the patient's relationship with their surgeon should not end after surgery, and that post-operative care matters just as much as the procedure itself. The practice focuses on ensuring patients heal well, monitoring progress, answering questions, and seeing patients throughout their recovery to ensure everything is moving in the right direction.
Source →
What is Dr. Umansky's philosophy and consultation process for Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is not about creating a 'perfect' nose, but about understanding what a patient's anatomy will realistically allow. The consultation and surgical game plan are crucial. During the consultation, Dr. Umansky considers the patient's starting anatomy, skin, proportions, and goals to determine changes that will create the most balanced and natural result for their face.
Source →
What happens during a pre-operative appointment with Dr. Umansky?
Dr. Umansky believes a great surgical experience starts well before the operating room. The pre-op appointment is dedicated to walking through surgery details, reviewing what to expect before and after, going over medications and instructions, and ensuring every question is answered. The goal is for patients to leave feeling prepared, informed, and comfortable with what comes next.

How does Dr. Umansky approach breast implant selection for augmentation?
Dr. Umansky emphasizes that there isn't one 'better' option between saline (filled with sterile salt water) and silicone (filled with cohesive silicone gel) implants; rather, it's about what makes the most sense for the individual patient. Implant material is only one part of the decision. Factors like anatomy, existing breast tissue, implant size and profile, lifestyle, and desired aesthetic look all matter. During a consultation, Dr. Umansky walks through options together with the patient, ensuring implants are not chosen based on a single factor, to find the right fit.
Source →
What does Dr. Umansky say about blepharoplasty for aging eyes?
Aging can cause changes around the upper and lower eyelids, making eyes look heavier or more tired. Dr. Umansky notes that beyond a certain point, eye creams or concealers are ineffective at changing the underlying anatomy. For suitable patients, blepharoplasty can address these structural changes, with results often being subtle.
Source →
How does Dr. Umansky use inspiration photos and try-ons during breast augmentation consultations?
Dr. Umansky encourages patients to bring inspiration photos to their consultation, as they can be helpful. However, he emphasizes that the same implant can look completely different on individuals due to variations in starting anatomy, proportions, breast tissue, and overall goals. A full consultation and try-on process provides a much better understanding of what different implant sizes and profiles could look like on a patient's body, rather than relying solely on photos or numerical sizes.
Source →
What is Dr. Umansky's approach to breast revision surgery?
Dr. Umansky emphasizes that breast implants are not necessarily a lifelong decision. Breast revision surgery is highly individualized, especially when addressing changes over many years. The goal is to understand what has changed and what the patient wants now, creating a surgical plan that feels balanced and natural for their current state. During replacement, tightening of implant pockets can be performed to improve support and positioning.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$3,892

Payments

17

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Jeffrey Umansky received $3,892 across 17 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
