Introducing “The Doubles”
During the episode, “Solve Your Biggest Double Dilemmas”, Dr. Petti was asked to evaluate and correct a “double chin”. Tricia, the patient chosen by Dr. Petti, is a 30 year old model, actress and bride to be! She has had a double chin all her life, despite the fact that she had been in perfect physical condition. She thought about having it corrected all her adult life, but with the wedding coming up-she now had a timely motivating factor.
Tricia’s Treatment Plan
Dr. Petti performed a combination of procedures which included placement of a silicone implant along the chin and jaw line to create a very natural augmentation of her weak chin and mandible. Dr. Petti also performed Smartlipo TriplexTriplexSmartlipotrade;trade;trade; ™ of the neck to remove a congenital pocket of fat under her chin, which was always there, despite the patient’s ideal body weight. She also performed SmartSkin ™ fractional CO2 laser resurfacing of the skin of the neck for further tightening and contouring of the neck skin. The surgery was remarkable for being minimally invasive-as the silicone chin/jowl implant was placed through an incision hidden in the lower lip of the mouth and the Smartlipo TriplexTriplexSmartlipotrade;trade;trade; ™ was done with small incisions behind the ear. Tricia had tears of joy when she saw her result! She was ready to hold her head high and her chin up for her October wedding on her family’s Texas ranch!
Tricia’s Before and After Photographs
As Seen on “The Doctors” Tricia is pictured before and 15 days after Chin augmentation with Silicone Chin/Jowl Implant (medium size), Smartlipo TriplexTriplexSmartlipotrade;trade;trade; of Neck, SmartSkin/Affirm Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing of the Neck.

A Third Time Star on “The Doctors”
In her last appearance, in 2009, Dr. Petti was featured on “The Doctors-The Biggest Makeover Show Ever” as she revealed the aesthetic enhancement she performed on Debra, who flew in from Washington state for a facial makeover which included the surgical procedures-rhinoplasty, Smartlipo TriplexTriplexSmartlipotrade;trade;trade; ™of the Neck and SmartSkin ™ of the face and neck, along with nonsurgical enhancement using Botox and Juvederm facial dermal filler in the postoperative recovery phase. The year before in 2008, Dr. Petti performed Smartlipo TriplexTriplexSmartlipotrade;trade;trade; ™ of the abdomen on a young mother, who was challenged by fat in her tummy that was resistant to diet and exercise! She was awake for the surgery and it was one of the first demonstrations of Smartlipo TriplexTriplexSmartlipotrade;trade;trade;™ to the pubic in the entire country.
Whether focusing on plastic surgery procedures, or less invasive procedures such as dermal fillers and laser skin resurfacing in Los Angeles, Dr. Petti says she is very excited about the makeover results, and is looking forward to unveiling another transformation achieved through the combination of procedures available through both her plastic surgery practice and her medical day spa in Los Angeles.

Visia – Our Computer Looking Glass
Everywhere we turn, it seems as though another new beauty product or treatment emerges and touts itself as the newest anti-aging miracle. The question: Is it marketing hype or do they really work? Well, maybe. As Los Angeles plastic surgeon and Spa Bella Medical Spa Director Christine Petti, M.D. explains, “The real secret is knowing how to select the right things for your specific skin type. And not just what you see on the surface – when it comes to skin damage, what you see isn’t always what you get.”
But thanks to a breakthrough technology found in the computerized Visia Complexion Analysis System, it is now possible to capture images of skin surfaces and assess issues like sun damage that are invisible to the naked eye. The results aren’t always pretty, but they are telling of how the skin will eventually show the signs of aging. The good news is early intervention can often reverse many of these undesirable characteristics. Using the results of your Visia screening, Dr. Petti’s licensed medical aestheticians can custom tailor a skin care regimen for your specific skin and help you achieve the glowing skin you desire just in time for summer.

Dr. Christine Petti Featured in “Hollywood Life” Blog
