Kristopher Hamwi, MD

With so many med spas and injectors to choose from, it can be super scary to trust anyone with your face and/or body but this office is by far the best in Sarasota. Ask for a consult with Sia. She is the best! Highly skilled, knowledgeable, and a perfectionist. She understands the importance of a natural result and executes it every time while keeping you safe. If you are on the fence about getting any type of injectable, go see Sia and you will never be disappointed. She is the real deal.

I found Dr. Hamwi through a Facebook brachioplasty group where everyone kept calling him the GOAT of arm lifts and now that I’ve had my surgery, I can say without a doubt: they were absolutely right! From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Hamwi was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely listened to my goals and concerns. Surgery day went smoothly, and just a few weeks post-op, I’m already so happy with how everything is healing and looking. The results are better than I imagined, and I’m gaining confidence by the day. What really stood out was the support from his entire team. Jena was so warm and welcoming during my consultation, Dianna was very comforting and supportive on surgery day, and since surgery day Danasia has been amazing at answering all my questions, even outside of typical office hours. I never felt rushed, and every concern I had was taken seriously. If you’re considering a brachioplasty, do yourself a favor and schedule a consult with Dr. Hamwi. His expertise, care, and attention to detail are unmatched. I’m beyond grateful I found him!

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Hamwi in August 2025, and it was truly the best decision! He guided me through every step of the process and answered all my questions about sizing. I shared what I liked and didn’t like, and he recommended the perfect size, it couldn’t be more spot on! He even called me the night of my surgery to check in. Dr. Hamwi truly cares about his patients!

Dr. Hamwi is an amazing plastic surgeon! He is incredibly kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and warm demeanor truly set him apart. Not to mention his pleasant staff members. Highly recommend!

Very kind and warm Dr and staff. Everything fell into place for me when I reached out to Dr. Hamwi's office. He even picked up the phone when I called because he happened to be right at the front desk. I was immediately put at ease by his demeanor

Dr. Hamwi and Chelsea C.S.T were wonderful! I had a Lipo procedure done before at Sonobello 10 years prior and I can tell you it is not worth the money to go to these type of places. I had lumps in my abdomen and just weird leftover fat pockets that were more noticeable when I worked out and lost weight. I knew that I had 1 more shot to get this right since I didn't want a bunch of scar tissue from going too often to get things "fixed". I saw Dr. Hamwi at Artlipo's videos on YouTube and was sold!! I love that they have you awake and he stands you up to see areas that he may need to do more work on to get your shape proportioned and remove as much fat as possible. (They had me asleep at the other place and laid on the table the whole time, they never saw what I looked like when I stood up to be sure I was even). I will be honest and say that the awake procedure was a bit uncomfortable, not really due to pain, but it is just a weird feeling with the cannula, but I much rather make sure it is done right. Chelsea was assisting him and she was great! During the procedure she kept me calm and Dr. Hamwi was fun to talk to the whole time! They both did a great job at keeping me distracted during the procedure and he constantly would check if I was okay and would take breaks when necessary. Chelsea takes the time to followup with me every two weeks and advises of the changes I should be experiencing at each milestone. My recovery has been easy with all changes taking place as expected. They boast on their site about using a technique to remove as much fat as possible rather than only partially removing fat and you can definitely tell the difference. I agree that the ArtLipo technique has caused my skin to adhere much better to my frame than other procedures where they don't remove enough fat risking weird lumps that are not visual as you are lying down. They are a bit more expensive than a place like Sonobello but you definitely get what you pay for. I was working out/lifting weights faithfully for years and I know that I would have never achieved my ideal shape with diet and exercise alone. I could not make my waist and small of my back shrink-in giving me the hourglass figure I have always wanted. The more I worked the more my waist and hips would stay in the same proportion to each other. The lower back lipo procedure really does accentuate the buttocks making it look like you had a butt-lift. the best part is you can see the work they do for yourself on youtube and will be blown away, go see for yourself. I will followup with before and after pictures soon. I was waiting to get to 6 weeks so the swelling would have come down enough to give accurate photos.

Received liposuction from Dr. Hamwi 10/19/23. At the beginning of the procedure, he injects numbing agents into the treatment area, as many other patients have described, this is the "worst part". Surprisingly even this tumescent injection process was more tolerable than anticipated, would objectively say the pain and discomfort level did not exceed 3/10. Denaisea, the assistant, was present the entire time and would help distract you from this process. Everything after this was smooth sailing. To be honest, during the procedure I felt so comfortable I began to become sleepy, haha. And was already planning future procedures with Dr. Hamwi even whilst the canula was inside my body! I am a "veteran" when it comes to getting elective surgeries and have had experience with many acclaimed surgeons, Dr. Hamwi is the most calm, patient and humble doctor I have come across. He takes his time, communicates expectations clearly, and boy does he deliver! To anyone considering getting any procedures with Dr. Hamwi, rest assured you are in good hands, 10/10 recommended.

My experience with Dr. Hamwi far exceeded my expectations. He and his staff are amazing. They genuinely care about your surgery and aftercare. The communication between Dr. Hamwi and myself has been wonderful. He truly cares and takes the time to listen. My arms have been a source of embarrassment for many years. I researched extensively for a surgeon who had results that impressed me. I'm realistic yet selective about whom I entrust to do surgery on my body. Although I live out of state, it was well worth the travel to get my beautiful "new" arms. All that said, I 100% recommend Dr. Hamwi and will go to him for any procedures that I may decide to do in the future. He is exceptional!

I am not sure where to start. Dr.Hamwi’s bedside manner is beyond what I could have expected. After my liposuction procedure, he gave me his personal cell and every time I called with any problem, he listened, comforted and addressed all my concerns no matter how little they were. There was a very small area that really bothered me, after I healed. This could have been because I didn’t follow all post operative instructions of not lifting anything. Anyway, Dr. Hamwi fixed my small problem area with fat grafting just to ease my mind. He did this free of charge and completely restored my confidence! Also, the staff in his office were so comforting and friendly. The nurse, Danaisa even called me a few times to check in on my recovery. I was able to text her anytime I had a question. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon who genuinely cares, is compassionate, and very knowledgeable, Dr.Hamwi is phenomenal! You won’t regret it. My results are so natural!

First , I’ll say that Dr. Hamwi is a perfectionist! He is amazing at what he does. I’m so mad that I did not find him sooner on my journey. He is funny, he checks up on you and (my experience) the procedure was painless!!!! I’ve had many procedures and none have gone as smoothly as this. Dr. Hamwi explained what he was doing the entire time throughout the procedure and I like that I am awake to say a can you take out a little more here please LOL…
