Thrilled with my results - felt informed and at ease

Dr.Politis is amazing! She has the best office and surgical staff too! I live in a town that has plastic surgeons but I drove 90 miles to see Dr.Politis. She made me feel comfortable from the start and I knew she would do what was best for me. I felt informed and at ease on the day of my surgery. I am thrilled with my results. I highly recommend Dr. Politis!!

Reverse tummy tuck - finally have the stomach that I desire

I just had the most amazing surgical experience working with Dr. Effie Politis. I am a 58 year old avid fitness enthusiast. No matter how hard I tried, I had excess skin on my stomach that discouraged me. I went to several doctors in California where I live and they all suggested I have a full abdominoplasty, which involves a scar from side to side across my lower abdomen. I was also wrongfully offered cool sculpting which only added laxity to my old abdominal skin which supported 4 full term pregnancies. I discovered Dr. Politis because she does upper abdominoplasty, a procedure I had never heard of. After a virtual consultation, I went for an in person consultation where she gave her hands-on expertise of how she could fix my issues. The procedure involves pulling the skin upward and concealing it under the bra line. The upper abdominoplasty is also used In conjunction with other treatments such as liposuction and Morpheus to tighten the skin. My results from the surgery are unbelievable. I feel that I finally have the stomach that I desire and it is without altering my belly button and leaving me with an obvious scar. I felt safe, comfortable and supported throughout the entire experience, from making the virtual appointment, in-person consultation, office procedures to the surgery center and follow-up treatments. Dr. Politis and her staff are outstanding professionals that addressed all of the concerns and thoroughly explained all treatments. I am beyond satisfied with the results of my upper abdominoplasty and feel I have the contour, leanness and muscle definition I have been wanting the last 10 years of my life! Thank you Dr. Politis! You made me feel beautiful again! #Morpheus #UpperAbdominoplasty #Liposuction #BestPlasticSurgeonTampa #coolsculptingsucks #Polishedbypolitis #dreffiepolitis #Boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #abdominoplasty #mommymakeover #reversetummytuck #bodycontour

My Stomach Has Never Been This Flat!

I am so thankful to Dr Politis and her staff. I've never had a flat stomach and after gaining 80lbs with my first pregnancy, I carried around a lot of extra stretched out skin. After my tummy tuck, my stomach is flat and I can comfortably wear clothes that fit me and even a bikini! The surgery and recovery process went very smoothly and I can't say enough about the care that I received. I am so pleased with my results! Thank you Dr Politis!

Worth ItBotox

Professional and excellent results

I have had Botox injections in my face and neck and fillers injected in my cheeks with excellent results. I am very happy with how the fillers gave me the volume in my cheeks. I am nearing 40 and have lost significant volume in my face. The fillers in my cheeks have really made a difference. I am very happy with Dr. Politis' bedside manner and explanation of her procedures. She never oversells and recommends the proper procedure for you specifically.

Great Mommy Makerover -Age 52

I consulted with several Bosrd Certified Plastic Surgeons in my area and could not be happier that I selected Dr. Polits. Dr. Politis us was very concerned with not only my safety and comfort, but in achieving an excellent aesthetic outcome. I found the other doctors were more concerned with volume reduction. While I understand volume reduction is very important , so is having a beautiful outcome
