I have wonderful patients who come to see me because they simply want to look like a better version of themselves.

Philosophy

For board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Niki A. Christopoulos, being an exceptional surgeon is more than just having technical precision and skill. Managing patient expectations and direct communication is paramount to achieving optimal surgical and nonsurgical results. “I’m very honest with my patients, almost to a fault! I explain to them in detail what I can do and what to expect,” says the doctor. “I educate them about the ins and outs of their procedure, and most importantly, I listen to them.” Specializing in aesthetic surgery of the face, breast and body, Dr. Christopoulos helps her patients fine-tune their physiques when genetics, diet and exercise make it difficult to get the results they desire on their own.

A Minute With

Three words that best describe me

Honest, direct, kind
Why do you employ a less-is-more philosophy?

This is the key to looking younger and better. I tell all of my patients that I would rather have them come in two or three times a year for a sprinkle of this and a little touch of that. This is the best way to look natural, refreshed and more youthful instead of “done,” or even worse, “overdone”
What is the one thing your practice offers that is really unique?

We have three dermatologists and a plastic surgeon all working together. It truly is a one-stop-shop for all of your aesthetic needs
My dream innovation

How do you show patients you care post-treatment?

I give them a call the night of their surgery to check on them, see how they are doing and answer any questions they may have

By having honest and in-depth consultations. I educate patients about their anatomy, discuss their wishes and, explain what they can expect and what is not realistic
