Deborah Crowe interviews Dr. Persky in the recent issue of The Los Angeles Business Journal (Vol.31, Number 11; March 16-22) in an article entitled “Putting a Good Face on it”. Dr. Persky addresses the current recession and the effect that it is having on facial plastic surgery. There has been a marked decrease in surgical procedures, while Fraxel laser skin rejuvenation, fillers, and Botox have increased in demand.

The article makes for good reading for the 80% or so of Dr. Persky’s patients who while in his treatment chair ask, “So Doc, how’s the economy affecting your practice?” For a related philosophical take on the subject, see the blog entry in this section entitled, “Facial Plastic Surgery and the Economy”.
