All About Your Face

As popularity for both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic interventions grows, we have seen an increased demand, especially for facial procedures. As Dr. Niki Christopoulos notes, “This increase in demand for facial procedures is likely due to a combination of factors. One, many more people are working from home, staring at themselves on Zoom all day. And more specifically, with all the mask wearing, the eyes are the focus now more than ever before.” So what exactly are your options these days and what is involved? Dr. Christopoulos likes to say that cosmetic procedures are on a spectrum from least invasive, least expensive, and subtler results to more invasive, more expensive, more definitive results. Where you fall on that spectrum truly depends on your unique anatomy, genetics, age, personal wishes and expectations. Dr. Christopoulos will take all of these factors into consideration when you both sit down to discuss your global beauty plan. Patients will typically start with fillers, neuromodulators, and skin care but will often find that at some point, they are looking for something more definitive. And oftentimes, these nonsurgical interventions are combined with a surgical procedure for the optimal result.  For example, perhaps you have been using Botox for years but recently, you have noticed that your eyebrows are just not quite getting the lift they used to. It may be time to discuss an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and possibly a brow lift. Or maybe you just look much more tired than usual, despite getting a good night’s sleep. Or perhaps the filler along your jawline that has worked beautifully for years is not quite giving you the same sharp jawline anymore. It may be time to discuss a lower face and neck lift.  Whatever is bothering you, Dr. Niki Christopoulos, a double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, will systematically and expertly guide you through the entire process. She prides herself on natural results, to bring out and improve your beautiful face, not change you into something else. As Dr. Christopoulos loves to say, “My goal is for people to say…’You look great!’ not,  ‘What did you have done?!’ ” If you would like to learn more about facial rejuvenation and discuss your personal beauty plan, call us today at 312-245- 9965 ext. 1290, for a private and customized cosmetic or plastic surgery consultation with Dr. Christopoulos.

Client Reviews

Love love Dr. Ibrahim. He helped me to find a combination that helps with my acne scars due to cystic acne in my teenage year. Just like anything in medicine, good things take time with a good skin care and medical grade products. I continue to see him for Botox concurrently with the acne scar regimen, so l can get a snatch jawline again. He is funny and a knowledgeable. The best compliment I had was when my patient see me every 3 months saw my skin recently and complimented on it. I have found myself not wearing makeup and only using tinted SPF.

Dr. Grushchak is my favorite derm I've been to so far. She is very professional and has great bedside manner. Same thing goes for all the staff. I always see great results after leaving the office. The office itself is very clean and enjoyable to visit. Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Ibrahim is AMAZING. He has such a wonderful “bed side manner” and his experience is multifaceted. I go to him for both regular skin concerns and cosmetic reasons and he has been able to help with every issue I have! He is by far the best dermatologist I have been to and I recommend him 100%!

I am BEYOND obsessed with this place! From the front door staff, to the medical assistants to wonder women herself (Dr. Jacob) and her amazing counter parts- hands down the most magical experience EVER! Not to mention if you’re going here for cosmetic reasons, Dr. Ibrahim is an absolute MAGICIAN/WIZARD with injectables! My lips are the best on Instagram! I 100000% recommend this place over and over and over again!

I have lines above the bridge of my nose, wanted a more relaxed, rested look. I had a dysport appointment, it was ontime, my nurse asked if I had any concerns.I was a little nervous… Then Dr. Jacob came in, made sure I was comfortable. She asked if I wanted more of an arch in my eyebrow. She said it would really opened my eye area… 4 days later… Full effect…AWESOME results!! Very…

I’ve been seeing Dr. Ibrahim Omer for a few months now for some derm issues (perioral dermatitis, eczema). He instantly identifies the problem and prescribes appropriately. He is also great with taking the time to explain what’s happening, and how to manage the medications and creams once I get home. I’ve never done botox or fillers, but am planning to return for a little boost once my skin heals. The front desk is attentive, and appointments run on time. I’ve never waited more than a few minutes.
