About Christine Petti

I am honored you have chosen to learn about me and my philosophies as a plastic surgeon. I am devoted to excellence. I have worked to achieve a practice with only one thing in mind — helping you accomplish your cosmetic surgery dreams with minimal risk and maximum results. Using my skill as a surgeon who specializes in cosmetic procedures to assure you of a pleasing aesthetic result is only one part of my role as an exceptional plastic surgeon. I also commit myself to helping you look beautiful for years to come. That’s why I direct a medically based day spa, Spa Bella, dedicated to providing customized medical skin care treatment programs to help you continue your beauty infinitely. I believe that beauty is twofold, combining aesthetic eye appeal with inner peace to create a feeling of complete well-being. My cosmetic surgery practice, Palos Verdes Plastic Surgery Medical Center, works in synergy with Spa Bella, our innovative medical day spa, to bring you the best of both sides of beauty. We work to achieve total enhancement in one beautiful setting.
