About Dr. Wilensky

SURGICAL PRECISION, TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

Dr. Jon Wilensky, MD MBA, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, based in the San Diego and the Central Valley regions of California. With over 19 years of experience, he specializes in Aesthetic Surgery of the breast and body, including tummy tucks, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, and fat transfer. Dr. Wilensky is also a prolific researcher and writer, having published numerous papers, particularly on traumatic wounds and general Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.

A native of New York City, Dr. Wilensky was born to public servants, an elementary school teacher and an NYPD police officer. He attended The Stuyvesant High School, the premier public math and science high school, which required a rigorous 2-hour commute each way from Staten Island to Manhattan. At 17, he was one of just nine high school seniors nationwide invited to attend both undergraduate and medical school at The University of Michigan as part of the prestigious 7-Year Integrated BS-MD dual degree program. By 24, he completed his MD degree at The University of Michigan Medical School and matched into the highly competitive Integrated Plastic Surgery residency program at the University of Michigan Health System, completing this rigorous 6-year post-MD training in 2006. He achieved Board Certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery in November 2007, having just turned 32 the month prior, becoming the youngest Plastic Surgeon to ever be Certified by the Board.

Dr. Wilensky is deeply invested in the emerging fields of implantable biotechnology and cellular therapeutics. He has served as Lead Surgeon in multiple clinical trials, including studies on implantable sensors and cell therapy, and has consulted for numerous early- and mid-stage companies. He recently served as the Head of Surgery for ViaCyte, Inc., which was acquired by VERTEX Pharmaceuticals to advance curative programs for Type 1 Diabetes. He currently serves as a Surgical & Technical Consultant to both Encellin and Novo Nordisk/Aspect Biosystems, helping to guide their implantable cell therapy and implantable bioprinted tissue therapy programs, respectively.

Designated as an Emerging Leader in Biotechnology, Dr. Wilensky received a fellowship to complete an MBA from the University of California-San Diego Rady School of Management, focusing on Technology Commercialization, Disruptive Innovation, and Entrepreneurship. While at Rady, he co-founded Braykion, a digital health technology company addressing hospital-acquired infections due to non-compliance with handwashing guidelines. This technology has now been adopted by Apple and is included in the Apple Watch whereby the smartwatch can detect when you’re washing your hands and start a 20-second timer. His passion for innovative technology and patient care is evident in his work. He is committed to creating implantable, injectable, and wearable medical devices and advancements that benefit his patients and all of humanity.

Currently, Dr. Wilensky focuses his plastic surgery practice on Beautologie – Cosmetic Surgery, Medical Aesthetics & Wellness. He is a Consulting Surgeon in this premier multi-partner, single-specialty, Plastic Surgery group. For his Hospital-based Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Wilensky is an Attending Surgeon at both Palomar Health, the largest public health district in California and a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, and Scripps Health. Dr. Wilensky provided Level II Trauma Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery on-call services to his community for 16 years. This included the broad range of General Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, and Adult & Pediatric acute and chronic Burn Reconstructive Surgery.

Outside his professional commitments, Dr. Wilensky enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, ages 20 and 17. An avid outdoorsman, he has climbed Mt. Shasta twice, Mt. Rainier, and completed a 24-hour endurance walk across and back the Grand Canyon 12 times. He has scaled Mount Kilimanjaro as a member of the Global Access to Cancer Care Foundation’s “Climb for Hope,” the highest peak in Africa.

The setting appears to be a medical or cosmetic consultation room.

Our Patients Say It Best

Professional, considerate and friendly. The staff takes time to educate the patient to ensue the patient understands the process and procedures in thier entirety.

The doctor greeted me with kindness and asked how I was doing. Then asked how I liked the results of my last treatment. She explained every step and explained where I was getting the Botox and how it works. I'm very pleased with the results.

The results are what I was hoping for. I feel so much better and comfortable in my body. Dr. Ford is very kind and she seemed to care about me and my results. I’m a pretty modest person but she made me feel comfortable and not judged. After the surgery I no longer feel embarrassed by how my breasts look.

Dr. Ford walked me through every single aspect of my surgery. From weeks before my surgery to the morning of, she (and the rest of her team) did an amazing job of taking care of me. I was super anxious because this was my first surgery in general but everyone made me feel so at ease and comfortable.

Dr. Debbie is very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions without rushing. She explained everything thoroughly.

Staff was great. Surgery went as expected. Scar looks great. I had a minor complication with some infection and Dr Ford got me in and treated the issue right away with as many follow ups as needed.

The office is so clean and organized. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Ford is absolutely the sweetest. She gets all your info and narrows it down to what it is that you want and what would look good on you. She’s as real as it gets and I just love her. Surgery is tomorrow and I’m sure I’ll have more amazing reviews for that too.

Dr. Filip took a lot of time and care in his consultation to explain my options and answer all my questions. He was kind and genuine and made me feel very comfortable. He showed me different size and types of implants and discussed which ones were a good fit for my body and why. He also talked to me about the results and what to expect, which I think was very important in helping me have realistic expectations of the outcome. My surgery and recovery went really well and his follow up care was great. My results are by far the best part of the whole experience. My scars are so minimal and my breasts look amazing.

Dr. Ford prior to surgery is very thorough in telling you what to expect and her kindness and warmth make you feel at ease. After surgery she called my husband to see how I was doing . My results are amazing and continue to improve weekly like she says. I have always wanted a tummy tuck and I decided to do a mommy make over. The results of my tummy tuck are just astounding, you'd never know I have three children, and love love the results. My breast augmentation is as well awesome results.
