Affirm CO2 ™ Laser Skin Renewal – Actual Experiences as Told by Our Patients
“What a difference an Affirm FX makes. We treated my left hand first due to my work schedule. The pictures are remarkable. The sun spots are gone and the skin is tighter. My left hand looks 10 years younger and I can’t wait to do the right hand.”
-JD (from Torrance, CA)
“What a positive experience! Dr. Petti offers so many options for non-surgical procedures. Skin resurfacing is the way to go. I had the Affirm CO2 Fractional to my face and neck and I couldn’t be happier. At least once a day, I am told that my skin looks beautiful. Dr. Petti and her knowledgeable staff have taught me ways to care and maintain the health of my skin. Dr. Petti is always on the cutting edge of new technology and procedures. I know that when I am ready to have surgery, my skin will be in the best condition possible. The procedure was effortless, painless and I was able to put makeup on after 5 days. What an improvement to my skin texture! My hats off to Dr. Petti and her staff for their outstanding ability to make a patient feel confident and cared for.”
-SS(Brentwood, CA)
Dear Dr. Petti,
I want to thank you so much for recommending the Affirm CO2 laser resurfacing for my face, neck and chest. I can’t believe how great my skin looks and feels in less than two weeks! The treatment was fast, comfortable and required just a few days of social downtime. I was wearing makeup after one week and my wrinkles and brown spots are gone! I know that the texture of my skin will continue to improve over time as the collagen is stimulated and I can’t wait to see the tightening results. My skin hasn’t looked this good since I was a teenager and I can’t thank you and your wonderful staff enough. I am recommending the Affirm treatment to all of my friends!

“I highly recommend Dr. Petti and her entire staff. I cannot express enough their many great attributes. From my initial consultation through to my post-surgical care, I was made to feel welcome, and encouraged to discuss anything that was on my mind. Every effort to make me feel comfortable and ensure that I was knowledgeable about the entire process was made. Dr. Petti herself was very friendly, confident, and entirely professional. You can tell she is a perfectionist and loves what she does. That is exactly the type of passion I was looking for in a surgeon. Rest assured that you will receive great care from her practice. My thanks to everyone.”

Breast Reconstruction Testimonial
“I want to thank Dr. Petti and feel extremely grateful for the way she handled reconstructing my breast after my lumpectomy; how caring she was and respectful, and how understanding and knowledgeable she was with regards to the results I wanted. The staff and Dr. Petti were very concerned about my welfare and worked hard on making sure my recovery would be smooth. Roberta and Susie both called to wish me a good night the night before my surgery. Dr. Petti made sure my stress level was down and really took “extra” time with me. Dr. Petti has my full confidence in her ability as a plastic surgeon.”

SmartLipo Patient Testimonials
“You and your staff treated me like a friend while still being very professional. Dr. Petti thank you so much for making me feel good about my appearance again. Menopause is so ugly and you helped me get through it much easier. Thank you for helping and understanding WOMEN!“
-P.R., SmartLipo Patient
“Dear Dr. Petti and Staff,
I can’t begin to tell you what a wonderful experience I’ve had not just with the surgery in 2005, but once again this October. I’m very pleased with the outcome and so galt I decided to have the SmartLipo and my neck done.
You are a wonderful, caring, and talented person and surgeon. And your staff exemplifies all those attributes too. You and your staff are diamonds in your profession.”
Sincerely,
-M.H., Los Angeles SmartLipo Patient
“Words cannot express how happy I am after having the SmartLipo Laser Body Sculpting. I am a very active & athletic individual, I watch what I eat, and exercise on a regular basis, but have been very frustrated with the stubborn bulging areas around my entire abdomen, back and hips. I have come to the conclusion that I need help with those unsightly pockets of fat that I cannot stand anymore! After doing extensive research and checking out websites, I wanted a qualified, board certified female plastic surgeon, to do the job understanding my situation, being a woman and all the changes our bodies go through as we mature. To me a woman’s touch is important and Dr. Christine Petti of the Los Angeles area met all my expectations! I found out as well, Dr. Petti is the only plastic surgeon in her area who does the SmartLipo LaserBody Sculpting. I had her do my abdomen, hips, flanks and neck. Dr. Petti made some recommendations to me that I never realized, the consultation was educational and informative and my results were dramatic! I saw results immediately, with a quick recovery to follow. I fit beautifully in my clothes, my body and neck are truly tight and toned! Dr. Christine Petti helped me achieve all my goals and wishes! – I now finally have the body I have always dreamed of!!:
-Sandra, Orange County SmartLipo Patient
“Special thanks to Susie, Roberta, surgical team, and follow-up care nurses and of course, Dr. Petti. A very happy thoughtful and caring staff.”
-M.M. Los Angeles Liposuction Patient
“The office was fantastic – organized & flexible, followed-up with phone calls, friendly and sincere, and highly professional and caring. Many thanks for all! I was very nervous and hesitant about having SmartLipo (or and kind of surgery), but Dr. Petti and the staff held my hand every step of the way – through all of the uncertainties – and I am incredibly grateful! If SmartLipo is for you, Dr. Petti’s office is the only place to go.
-Lisa, Los Angeles SmartLipo Patient
“Everyone I came in contact with was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Loved that Dr. Petti took the time to call and did not make me feel like I was bothering her (it was a weekend night when I left her a message).
-Los Angeles SmartLipo and Abdominoplasty Patient
The office was so friendly, so caring, so always ready to answer questions and readily available.”

Which breast implant placement gives a more natural appearance?
When getting breast implants, will it look more natural to place the implants going under or over the muscle?
Breast implants can be placed above or below the (pectoralis) muscle. Placing the implant over the muscle may result in less pain and faster recovery. However, placing the implant under the muscle looks and feels more natural (because there is more tissue covering the implant), may lead to less incidence of capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around the implant), and offers less interference with mammograms. I also believe that it offers better long- term support when placed under the muscle. There is further distinction between placing the implant partially or fully under the muscle – the advantages of which can be discussed with your surgeon as they are relevant to your personal breast shape and ultimate goals
