Philosophy

" I am honored you have chosen to learn about me and my philosophies as a plastic surgeon.

I am devoted to excellence, and over the years I have worked to achieve a practice with only one thing in mind, helping you accomplish your cosmetic surgery dreams.

Using my skill as a surgeon who specializes in cosmetic procedures to assure you of a pleasing aesthetic result is only one part of my role as a good plastic surgeon. I also commit myself to helping you look beautiful for years to come. That's why I designed a medically based skin care treatment program to help you continue your beauty at home.

I believe that beauty is twofold, aesthetic eye appeal along with inner peace combine to create a feeling of complete well being. My cosmetic surgery practice, Aesthetic Accents and Laser Surgery Center, works in synergy with Spa Bella, my innovative medical day spa, bringing you the best of both sides of beauty.

My aesthetic side and my natural passion for excellence led me to the specialty of plastic surgery. I am more than enthusiastic and feel very fortunate to be able to participate in this fabulous field as my profession. Each year, I am more convinced that what you believe, you can achieve.

During your consultation, you and I together will communicate and formulate a plan for your desired cosmetic change.

Once your cosmetic image is achieved, your recovery process necessitates physical as well as emotional healing. My professional and caring staff will hold your hand every step of the way.

Last but not least, my greatest reward is the smile on your face when your beauty dream has been achieved.

I look forward to meeting you, "

- Christine A. Petti, M.D., F.A.C.S.
