Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mark Hestrin, M.D., and I have an exciting and innovative vision for re-defining cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Santa Barbara. I have administered anesthesia in cosmetic surgery centers of Beverly Hills for over 13 years, working alongside some very prominent plastic surgeons. I serve as Medical Director and chief anesthesiologist for the practice.

Aesthetic Surgical Partners is a carefully assembled group of OUTSTANDING board certified and seasoned plastic surgeons - Drs. Marc Mani, and Vishal Kapoor. While all of them deliver exceptional plastic surgical results, each of them has a particular area of interest - facial surgery, body contouring, breast augmentation & reconstruction, and post-bariatric body adaptation. A number of them have been featured as experts on such programs as the Learning Channel and the Discovery Channel. They are all very accomplished academically and well published in their respective professional journals. Not only are they all highly skilled plastic surgeons, but they are artists in their own right.

By assembling such a talented chorus of plastic surgeons we are, in essence, combining the tremendous talents and reputations of Beverly Hills' best with the serenity of Santa Barbara in a very personal, intimate boutique-style practice atmosphere. Our focus is all about the QUALITY of our results, not the QUANTITY of them. Our motto is "making you as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside," and that's exactly what we do! Just important, we focus all of our attention on creating the most natural appearing results possible. In fact, we believe that Aesthetic Surgical Partners is the Natural choice for top quality cosmetic surgery.

However, this practice is not about one 'superstar' plastic surgeon. Our mission is to provide the most comprehensive, fully integrated cosmetic surgery/beautification/wellness practice in the area, leveraging the expertise of the entire team - surgeon, anesthesiologist, nurses, wellness director/nutritionist, patient consultant, and aesthetician. We will ensure that each team member is accessible to every patient from the first consultation forward. Each will contribute his/her expertise to the goal of giving you the very best cosmetic surgical outcome possible. To that end, we never "rush" our consultations or our surgery. In fact, we never schedule more than two surgeries per day, and often only one, so that we may achieve the best result for you possible, the first time through.

Many patients come to us from all over the country with complications from previous cosmetic surgery, especially breast augmentation related complications such as capsular contracture and breast asymmetry. As a result, we perform many revision augmentation and revision mastopexy (breast lift) procedures at our Santa Barbara surgery center, markedly improving if not fully correcting the deficiencies of past surgeries.

As part of our effort to offer the most comprehensive cosmetic care, the Aesthetic Surgical Partners is pleased to offer the services of Christine Farrell, FNP-C, our Wellness Program Director with great expertise in BOTOX®, Restylane, and Collagen treatments, laser hair removal/laser skin rejuvenation, nutritional therapy, bio-identical hormone replacement, as well as those of Anita Snow, our highly experienced aesthetician. In fact, we just acquired a state-of-the-art Cutera laser to facilitate leg/facial vein removal, 'Photofacial' treatments, and skin tightening therapies (Titan) that are far superior to 'Thermage'. We are eager to invite you into our new 'family' and to help you achieve the very best cosmetic rejuvenation possible.

I look forward to meeting each and every one of you.

Warm Regards,

Mark Hestrin, M.D.
