Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini and her husband Gabriele founded VK Cosmetic Surgical Arts in 2009. It was a brave step to break into the cosmetic market, but she knew they had something unique to offer.
“We created a boutique practice—One that gives truly individual attention to every person who walks through our doors. For my patients, I do every consult, every surgery, every injectable. I never leave the room or turn the procedure over to anyone. It was the way I was trained by my mentor, Dr. Howard Tobin. My patients know they will start and finish with me; that I am always available 24/7 via my private cell phone.”
