This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock" or the “Shares”) of Sientra, Inc. (the "Issuer"), whose principal executive offices are located at Suite 200, 420 South Fairview Avenue, Santa Barbara, CA 93117.

This Schedule 13D is being filed by and for Norman H. Pessin and Brian L. Pessin (each a “Reporting Person”).  Certain information with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth below:

The aggregate purchase price of the 5,670,923 shares of Common Stock owned by Norman H. Pessin is approximately $1,432,232.48, including brokerage commissions.  The shares of Common Stock owned by Norman H. Pessin were acquired with personal funds.  The aggregate purchase price of the 875,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Brian L. Pessin is approximately $193,288.30, including brokerage commissions.  The shares of Common Stock owned by Brian L. Pessin were acquired with personal funds.

The Reporting Persons originally purchased the Shares based on the belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
