Dr Christopoulos was top shelf through every phase of my procedure. She took time with me in pre-op and allayed any fears I'd had about my post op recovery. Her easy going confidence in my interactions with her was absolutely key in my comfort prior to my procedure. True to her word, my recovery was almost completely painless. I did of course have bruising after the procedure that faded away after roughly two weeks, but Dr Christopoulos had me sufficiently prepared for this that it was not a concern. 3 weeks out, and with some swelling that will continue to abate, I must say, this was the best $5000 I've ever spent. I feel like a decade was erased from my appearance and that confidence is reflected in my outlook and ability to meet people and know they are not wondering if I stayed up all night the night before.

For years I would wear sunglasses, even when not necessary, and yes sometimes indoors. I'd had people ask me if I didn't get a good night's sleep the night before upon seeing me, at which point, I would have to explain, "no, this is just how I look." My industry is a young person's game and my appearance no longer reflected the energy I have for my job.

Wow what a difference you look great! Was that a upper and lower? Fat transfer or re-position?
Thanks Jade. All credit to Dr Niki! And this was a re-position, lower only. And I am going to post an update here soon, as just days after having posted this review, the swelling visible in the post op pic has subsided significantly more and the result is even more impressive. I honestly can't say enough about how happy I am with what Dr Christopoulos did for me. So refreshing to look in the mirror and see the face you expect to see, vs one that looks tired and drooping. Ugh. Good Good Stuff!
You look awesome. I had upper and lowers done. Like you said, money well spent. :-)
You look amazing. What a fantastic result. Took at least ten years off you. Wow!
The surgery turned out great for you, and yes, it did take years off you.
