Dr. Sarmela Sunder is a double board certified and fellowship trained surgeon specializing in facial plastic surgery. She dedicated years of training to the face and neck, knowing that a surgeon should properly focus on one field in order to be truly exceptional.
Amazing. My favorite plastic surgeon experience, and I've had consults and experiences with a few, all quite talented. Masterful surgeon and an incredible eye for aesthetics, exceeded expectations and has made my friends want to see her in the future.
I was referred to Dr. Sunder by one of her other patients who had a neck lift. As a 35 year old with poor neck genetics on both sides of my family, I was ready for some help. Dr. Sunder was very honest, kind, and explained in an easy to understand way what she could do to improve my side profile. Lipo alone would not correct my saggy neck, I needed a full blown lift and platysmaplasty. She also offered a less invasive treatment plan but I told her I wasn't going to take any half-measures, let's do it all to get the best results. The Clinic coordinator answered all of my questions, got me set up for overnight care at a local boutique nurse experience (it was worth every penny-a nurse at your beck and call 24/7 immediately after my surgery, they also took me to my follow up the next day. It was like a "Hotel Hospital") I knew I was in the best hands the day of my surgery, I wasn't scared at all. When I woke up, I was blown away at how fine I felt, my head was wrapped as expected, but my anaesthesia experience was fantastic. It was as if Dr. Sunder and the anesthesiologist were alchemists. I didn't feel crazy loopy yet I wasn't in pain. I experienced NO bruising, minimal swelling, and an immediately snatached neck. I looked incredible the day after my surgery, and it's only gotten better. The incisions by my ears and under my chin were barely noticeable and are healing nicely, 2 weeks after we were even able to do some microneedling over the scar to help with collagen production and healing. I would do this procedure over and over again. It has given me so much confidence. Crazy to think that multiple sessions of Kybella hurt so much more than this, and my results are better than I could've imagined. Beyond the tremendous results, Dr. Sunder is so down to earth, just looking at her calmed me down. Not that it's incredibly important but she is so gorgeous, she is like my double board certified neck angel!!!! If you are already seeing a sag and you think it's too early to do anything in your 30's.....DO IT NOW. No need to wait until you're in your 50's for a neck lift. Preventative measures mean less work in the future (with results that aren't as good!)
I went in to see Dr. Sunder for preventative Botox and rhinoplasty consultation. She was kind, knowledgeable, attentive, and thorough and addressed all of my questions and concerns. She is not salesman like at all but will look to give you the best treatment for the best outcome based on your individual preferences and expectations. I decided to go through with the preventative botox and she opted for jeauveu as it would work best for my concerns. she also gave me a follow up in two weeks to come back and alter if I wanted more! I highly recommend Dr. Sunder, stay tuned for potential rhinoplasty updates.
I met Dr. Sunder over a year ago. We started with a consultation in her office. She listened to my thoughts and feelings and then gave me her expert opinion on natural realistic expectations. Dr. Sunder did an amazing lower face and neck lift. The follow up care was beyond caring and thorough. I continue to see Dr. Sunder for maintenance . She truly is a amazing. I trust her so much!
I couldn't be happier with my newly "opened" eyes, thanks to Dr. Sunder at Cassileth Plastic Surgery. To address the problem of sagging eyelids and dark shadows, Dr. Sunder performed an upper blepharoplasty and under-eye laser treatment. The procedure was virtually pain-free and the outcome was very natural. My whole appearance was rejuvenated and with it, my confidence. I found Dr. Sunder to be a caring and skilled plastic surgeon, with a natural gift for facial aesthetics. She is refreshingly honest about expectations, and the importance of patience during the recovery period. Her assistant Mitzi was invaluable, guiding me through the post-op instructions to make sure everything was healing the way it should. If you're looking for a talented facial surgeon who really cares about her patients, Dr. Sunder and the team at Cassileth Plastic Surgery won't let you down. They're the best!!
Dr. Sunder and her team are amazing! My experience with Dr. Sunder is always great from start to finish. The procedure I had done is a non-surgical nose job and let me tell you... she has transformed my nose! Upon arrival on the day of my procedure, I was extremely nervous, but her team made the entire visit a breeze. They are all so kind and patient and what's so significant about it is that from my first visit, to the next, I never feel rushed. Dr. Sunder really took her time to explain the possible outcomes for my nose with filler. She knows exactly what she's talking about when it comes to placement of filler! What I really loved about her is that she takes the time to listen to questions, and any concerns with the procedure. During my procedure, she would calmly ask how I was doing, and we would take a look at the progress of each injection. I couldn't believe how much much more elegant my nose looked when she was finished. I absolutely love my "new" nose and my new confidence!
I had the absolutely Best experience with Dr.Sunder! Dr. Sunder is a very skilled surgeon. She and her staff are top notch, professional, kind, and caring. I had trauma to my head and neck area due to an infection in my neck and a brain tumor. There were several surgeries required that left me traumatized. I certainly didn't want anymore surgery! I had a lot of scar tissue in my neck and it bothered me. The time came when I felt ready to consider a face and necklift. When I talked to Dr. Sunder she put me at ease about the procedure. She has skill, experience, and knowledge. These are not her only attributes, she is also very compassionate. I felt total confidence going into surgery and I am beyond happy with the outcome. The results are so natural and I feel grateful to Dr .Sunder and her staff. The aftercare is so through and every question is answered. I can't thank Dr. Sunder and her staff enough!
Dr Sunder and her staff were incredible! I specifically sought out a highly educated, experienced, skilled surgeon and she was the real star! She is a true professional who really cares about her clients. If you want a team who will deliver on their promises, take excellent care of you both during your procedures and also in recovery while addressing your needs, they are the ones to do it! Call today to make your appointment - let the collaboaration and planning for your transformation begin!
I am coming up on two years since I had a mini face lift from Dr. Sunder. I can not begin to say how happy I am with my results. In my heart I was not feeling like I was looking and Dr. Sunder changed that all and has made me feel and look amazing. A few of my friends will definitely be seeing her in the near future and I tell them they need to look no further she is truly amazing. So so happy I did it!!!!
I’m an unbelievably picky person . I feel as if I want doctors to go above and beyond my expectations . Dr . Sunder truly does this . Every filler I’ve ever gotten from her was precise and perfect . I didn’t have to go back again and again because they missed something or just because things weren’t quite right . After a few years of fillers, I wanted something more . I knew my face was starting to sag a bit . We decided on a non surgical procedure called profound . It worked great . My skin was smooth , tighter and glowing . I loved the results but after a few years I really wanted a facelift . I could never dream of going to another plastic surgeon . I’ve had the luxury of seeing a bunch of my friends using other doctors , but I wasn’t impressed . I knew Dr. Sunder would do exactly what I wanted . She listens , is compassionate and truly an skilled artist . I trust her completely . I ended up getting a facelift and laser at the same time . The procedure wasn’t as scary as I had expected . I’m 5 weeks out and I look fantastic ! I’m so happy :) Every one that sees me has to comment . I can’t thank her enough . I Love My Face !!!! Never thought I’d say that :) I don’t look crazy or to tight . Dr. Sunder and her work is way beyond comparison !!! I’m her biggest fan .
A minilift is a great option for patients who are starting to see early signs of jowl formation. It is primarily intended to improve the lower third of the face with improvement of the jawline. It generally does not improve the appearance of the nasolabial folds or the smile lines. Those are areas that are better served with volume augmentation, such as with filler or fat grafting.
Without examining you, it is difficult to say whether you would be an ideal candidate for a minilift. However, a minilift is a great option for patients who are starting to see early signs of jowl formation and that the jawline does not look as smooth. A minilift can lift the excess skin of the jowls back up and give the appearance of a tighter jawline. It does not help to improve the neck, so if that is a concern, then I would advise against a minilft. I think putting more filler along your marionette lines/jowls will likely make your lower face look even fuller, which is the opposite of your desired outcome. Hope this helps!
As long as the parotid tumor is benign, it is possible to undergo a partial parotidectomy and a minilift during the same procedure. In most cases, the procedures would be performed by 2 different surgeons. An otolaryngologist/ENT/Head & Neck Surgeon would perform the parotidectomy and a facial plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon can perform the mini-lift. A surgeon who is dual board certified in both Head & Neck Surgery, as well as Facial Plastic Surgery could potentially do both for you. However, I would recommend seeking out someone who has significant expertise in parotidectomy and is well-versed in facial nerve dissection.
In my practice, we apply numbing cream to the area to be treated for 45 minutes prior to a Venus Viva treatment, and have found that patients have done really well. We do offer local anesthetic injections if a patient is going to have a more aggressive treatment. However, most patients do well with the topical anesthetic/numbing cream alone.
Venus Viva is a great option for certain types of acne scars, as well as for improvement of skin texture and quality. The device is set, so that the needles and the energy being delivered do not penetrate deep into the subcutaneous layer (which is where fat lives). Viva has tiny needles through which the radiofrequency energy is delivered. This combination of the needling and radiofrequency allows for collagen stimulation and remodeling. Thermage, on the other hand, while also a radiofrequency device, works at a deeper level. That’s why Thermage can achieve more of an overall tissue tightening effect. Most patients require a minimum of 3 sessions for mild acne scars. The downtime is generally 2-4 days.
