surgical excellence
In the same demographic as most of her patients, board-certified, Ivy-league-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Christine A. Hamori can relate to their concerns, speaking candidly about the aging process. “As a working mom in my forties, I understand where my patients are coming from; how they want to project a positive self image and feel good about themselves.”
Offering a plethora of both surgical and nonsurgical services, Dr. Hamori believes having a variety of technologies helps serve her patients’ unique needs. Prior to offering any suggestions, however, she dedicates adequate time to initial consultations, listening intently as her patients do most of the talking. “The goal is to develop a trusting, open rapport with patients to gain insight into what, specifically, is bothering them so we can explore effective procedures.”
Dr. Hamori offers patients everything from nonsurgical treatments—like injectables and fractional ablative skin resurfacing via her new Palomar 2940 laser—to surgical face, breast and body procedures. Sensitive to patients’ desires for confidentiality, comfort, convenience and support, she assesses the injectable needs of each patient and personally administers injectables herself. “My patients have entrusted me to care for them, so I feel it is my responsibility to perform all of my own procedures,” says Dr. Hamori, who calls surgical patients herself the evening after their procedures to see how they are doing. “Being a plastic surgeon involves just as much compassion and bedside manner as it does surgical skill.”
