Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Latisse was discovered in 2001 when pharmaceutical company Allergan was developing an eye drop to treat glaucoma. A side effect of these drops was that patients would develop noticeably fuller, darker, and thicker eyelashes, such that researchers had to take note of it. A clinical trial granted Latisse approval by the FDA for eyelash growth treatment.
Ophthalmology
Dr. David B. Samimi earned his M.D. degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and internship at Harbor UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Samimi then completed his ophthalmology training at the #1 rated residency program in the United States, the University of Miamiâ€™s world-renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.

Eye Exam
Thankfully I received a referral for Dr. David Samimi, MD, from another great (Family) Physician, Dr.Velinda Paranal MD. My main concerns were tiredness, trying to hold up my eyelids, using the eyebrow muscle. A first consultation with Dr. David Samimi MD, and his team, at Eyestetica in Santa Monica, resulted in my complete trust to allow the proposed upper, and lower eyelid, and eyebrow surgery be done by Dr. David Samimi MD. I had an excellent comprehensive eye exam, a follow up visit with eye specialist, and very personable Dr. David Samimi, and scheduled the surgery, which was done under local anaesticia at his Encino Office. Following the instructions of Dr. Samimi, already three days after the surgery, still on rest, and recovery schedule, at home, I already felt great relief, not having to use the eyebrow muscle to "pull up" the (also surgically reduced) eyelids. This is a fantastic improvement, to have a relaxed eye, and reading position, instead of using the eyebrow muscle all the time. This rather specialist surgery Iam sure, not to be mistaken by general plastic surgery, has been, in my opinion, therefore, a successful procedure (at just 7 days ago, as I am doing this review). My daily improvements still are remarkable, and on day 6, after the surgery, stitches, and staples were removed. An added great benefit, post surgery, is, that eyes are looking wider, open, and according to my Family, generally are looking as they remember me, in younger years. Continuing care, and follow up, by Dr. David Samimi, MD, and his team, deserve my very best I CARE REVIEW, for any one, who needs EYE CARE, now, or later, and we all do. Thank you Dr. David Samimi MD and Team, at Eyestetica. Anna E

Endocrinologist

Endocrinology
The most important factor in treating and controlling the changes of the eyes from thyroid disorders is good control of the underlying condition. This involves close care with an endocrinology specialist to monitor and control the thyroid function. The doctors at Eyesthetica communicate closely with other doctors to ensure complete care.
Thyroid
Thyroid eye disease is most commonly associated with Gravesâ€™ disease or an overactive thyroid, but can also be caused by other thyroid disorders. It is crucial for patients with TED to be seen by an oculofacial plastics specialists, as this disease can be difficult to diagnose and can cause considerable risk to your vision.

MRI
Bringing the completed packet, your insurance cards, a list of current medications, discs with pertinent CT or MRI imaging studies and any other relevant medical records will help minimize any delay on the day of your visit. We will collect office co-pays at the time of the visit, as well as any portion of your insurance deductible that has not been met. Cosmetic or non-insurance related visits usually have a consultation fee of $200, which will be used as credit towards any treatment.

General Surgery
Dr. Steven C. Dresner earned his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School. He completed an internship in general surgery at the University of California at San Francisco. He was a resident in ophthalmology at Louisiana State University in New Orleans.
Mohs Surgery
Each fellow will be learning the bread and butter clinic evaluation and surgery techniques in Oculofacial Surgery. The fellow will see and manage patients at LA County (LAC) + USC Medical Center under the guidance of the ASOPRS preceptors on a weekly basis. Here, the fellow will be actively involved in resident education. The remainder of the week will be with the preceptors from Eyesthetica, growing their surgical skills and gaining competence in pre- and post-operative patient management. The fellow will begin outside rotations during their first year and will spend time with our local ocularist group learning impression-fitting techniques and with Richard Bennett, MD, former President of Dermatology Surgery for Mohs surgery reconstruction techniques around the body, including flaps and grafts. The techniques learned have ready applications to the periorbital area and face. Other elective rotations include cosmetic dermatology and Facial Plastic Surgery.
Reconstructive Surgery
As such, the facial trauma specialists at Eyesthetica are all highly-trained members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS), and certified plastic surgeons specializing in surgery around the eyelids and orbital injuries. We routinely care for trauma patients at California Hospital Medical Center, a high-volume Level II Trauma Center in Downtown Los Angeles, and can provide expert care in the event of an emergency.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and neck are common signs of the aging process. Sun exposure is the main cause of wrinkles, but lifestyle factors and genetics can play a significant role too. No matter the cause, our doctors have the specific training to both treat and prevent unwanted wrinkles. Botulinum Toxin (BOTOXÂ®) injections are a powerful tool to restore and maintain a youthful and well-rested appearance. At Eyesthetica, we use our specialized knowledge and experience to provide our patients with safe Botox treatment with results that show a refreshed and natural look.
Brow Lift
Some candidates for brow lift surgery notice a decrease in their field of vision. Others feel tension or discomfort in the forehead muscles at the end of the day. Patients commonly complain that their eyebrows make them look tired, angry, or sad.
Eyelid Surgery
At Eyesthetica, we understand the importance of learning whether eyelid surgery or nonsurgical treatments are right for you. Request your consultation online now, or give us a call! We do our best to honor all day/time requests for appointments. However, due to the complexity of each case, we may propose a different day and time and will reach out to confirm your appointment.
Plastic Surgery
Your vision is precious and your face is continuously on display. When picking a provider for your cosmetic eyelid and facial needs, why not choose a surgeon with the most specialized training? Oculofacial plastic surgery focuses on cosmetic and reconstructive aspects of the eyelids, lacrimal (tear) system, orbit (the bony cavity surrounding the eye), and adjacent face. The subspecialty requires years of experience and training dedicated to these very specific areas. Choosing a surgeon with the highest training and experience positions you to get the best, most natural looking surgical result while preserving your critical sense of sight.
Face Lift
A facelift is a surgical procedure used to address sagging facial muscle and skin to create a more youthful-looking appearance. There are many types of facelifts that achieve different results, but most involve making small incisions around the perimeter of the face and then lifting the skin and muscles for a tighter, more defined look.
Blepharoplasty
It is often said that the eyes are the â€œwindow to the soul.â€ If droopy upper eyelid skin is making your eyes look or feel tired, upper eyelid blepharoplasty may be the procedure for you. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a surgery that involves the removal of excess skin and/ or fat above the eyes. The goal is to achieve a more refreshed look that still feels natural. At Eyesthetica, we perform over 2500 blepharoplasties each year and use our experience to provide the very best care of your eyes and eyelids.
Scar Revision
Revision surgery is tailored to each patientâ€™s specific needs. Overall, the techniques employed by the doctors of Eyesthetica focus on improving the position of the eyelids, scar revision, and volume restoration. Specific methods of rehabilitation may involve the surgical reestablishment of anatomical structures and connections. Scarred or retracted eyelids may be addressed by borrowing skin and other tissue from the ear or roof of the mouth (hard palate). Skin and soft tissue scars may be revised with injections, surgery, or laser therapy, and volume changes can often be restored with dermal fillers or fat grafting.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser treatment can reduce and eliminate wrinkles or fine lines around the forehead, mouth, or eyes, as well as lessening or removing scars caused by acne or other damage. This improves the overall appearance of sun-damaged and aging skin. Laser resurfacing is also used to improve pigment spots and target patient complexion, color, and evenness. It can additionally be utilized to eliminate blemishes like warts, birthmarks, or enlarged glands.
Cosmetic Surgery
Unfortunately, cosmetic surgery can sometimes lead to unwanted changes in the appearance or function of the eyelids. The structures around the eyes are complex, and any results that are less than perfect can be devastating. The doctors at Eyesthetica are experts at both surgical and non-surgical options for revising previous oculofacial surgery that has gone awry.
Facial Implants
Dr. Burnstine lectures locally, nationally and internationally. His most recent international lectures have been in Iran and India. He has many peer-reviewed papers and book chapters in the literature on aesthetic facial implants, orbital trauma management, and tumors in the orbit and eyelids.

Cosmetic Dermatology
The combined Eyesthetica/USC Roski Eye Institute ASOPRS fellowship provides an excellent combination of university and private practice experience. The fellowship objectives include education of future oculofacial plastic surgeons with state-of-the-art functional eyelid, lacrimal, and orbital surgery and cutting-edge cosmetic facial surgery in order to create future leaders in our field. This training will allow the graduating fellow to acquire the skills to pursue an academic career or tertiary care private practice. All of the preceptors have well-balanced practices in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. In addition, subspecialty colleagues are available for additional training in facial plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology.
Skin Cancer
The doctors at Eyesthetica regularly perform surgery for all types of eyelid growths, ranging from moles and other benign tumors to skin cancer. We have extensive experience reconstructing both upper and lower eyelids and the surrounding facial structures. We take great care to remove and reconstruct with attention to minimizing scars, maximize the cosmetic appearance and preserving the function of the eyelids and safety of the eye.
Dermatology
Acne Treatment
Lesions
The doctors at Eyesthetica routinely perform surgery on eyelid growths ranging from small benign moles to large skin cancers, and have extensive experience reconstructing the eyelids and surrounding facial structures. In all eyelid surgeries, the goal is to minimize scarring and preserve the function of the eyelids so as to protect the eye. In addition to removing and diagnosing potentially dangerous lesions, our doctors will prioritize maximizing your cosmetic appearance.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a minimally-invasive treatment that can make your skin appear younger and softer. This technique removes the damaged outer layers of skin and reveals a new layer of skin that is smoother, less wrinkled, and less pigmented. While chemical peels are generally performed on the face, they can improve skin features on the neck, upper chest, and hands. Chemical peel treatment is often combined with surgery to enhance the end cosmetic outcome.
Skin Care
The doctors at Eyesthetica believe in a combined approach to aging prevention and facial rejuvenation. As the health and appearance of the skin are one of the most important factors in achieving these goals, we provide a wide range of skincare regimens and products to complement your overall treatment strategy.
