Testimonials
It is difficult to find enough superlatives to describe the incredible results and the expertise, care, attention, compassion and above-and-beyond follow-up that I experienced with Dr. Petropoulos!
I had a chin lift, with lower facelift with Dr. Petropoulos. Five years prior, I had had this procedure done (with a different plastic surgeon) and had been disappointed in those results. It took me a long time to decide to try it again and I was originally a bit apprehensive. From the very first, Dr. Petropoulos put me at ease, gave me her undivided attention and respected and encouraged my input. My results, my wishes and my satisfaction seemed more important to her than they were even to me. I can honestly say that I have never seen ANY doctor who made me feel as secure and as well-informed and cared-for as Dr. Petropoulos did (and does). I felt totally confident in Dr. Petropoulos' abilities, professionalism and personal integrity as I went into surgery (which means a lot) and I was not
disappointed. I give Dr. Petropoulos my highest recommendation and every time I see my neck now, I'm happy all over again.
Warm Regards,

Dear Dr. Petropolus,
I wanted to tell you how delighted I am with the results of my first Fraxel treatment. I'd been feeling that my skin was looking old and tired. Since the treatment, I've really noticed an improvement in my skin – my friends have commented, and shockingly enough, so has my husband! I've heard that my skin looks "very soft", "smooth" and "glowy." My husband told me I "look gorgeous!" This is the best thing since BOTOX! I can't wait for my next treatments.
Thanks,
Jill Jacobsen
I am a 55 year old woman who, just one week ago, had a face lift. I am inspired by post-surgery feelings of gratitude & an overwhelming sense of awe at what Dr. Anna Petropoulos, a gifted surgeon, has done for me!
Before this transformation, I found myself increasingly dissatisfied with the appearance of the skin on my face. I could no longer ignore the negative effects of time. If only exercise & great nutrition could keep the skin firm – I'd be all set! But, I needed more.
At this point I began to search for the right doctor to help me achieve what I had in mind. The 'who' part being key.
Dr. Petropoulos approaches the face as a gifted artist would a canvas. Whether it be botox, one of the popular fillers or surgery. Her gentle & conservative approach made me feel confident from the very beginning that I was in skilled hands. Her communication skills & caring attitude or "bed side" manor was the first thing to touch me. There is a graciousness & a wholesome honesty that she possesses, all contained in this beautiful, yet humble person.
Dr. Petropoulos takes her time & tries to understand you as a person as well as what you want from her. It became a partnership. I felt enthusiastic & at ease. It took a year for her to agree to surgery, which in her professional opinion, should be the last avenue explored.
After surgery, I expected at best to be improved & satisfied after a month to 6 weeks. What I did not expect was the ease in which the near perfect results were achieved! To my delight, I never developed a single bruise. If not for the well hidden stitches I could have gone out in public in just one week.
My experience with Dr. Anna Petropoulos has been awesome! With great enthusiasm, I feel proud to recommend her. In my opinion, Dr. Petropoulos is a true talent & a total class act!
Sincerely,
Care Beecroft - Picone
I wanted to send you an email thanking you - thanking you for being one of the best plastic surgeons I have ever encountered. When I first came to you regarding my nose and how unhappy I was with my image, you were so kind and helpful. Even though I was very nervous to begin with, you made my whole rhinoplasty experience such a pleasure. I admire your talented perfectionist mind set, as well as your meticulous work. What I really admire about you is your patience and time you spend with your patients and how you get to know them. I felt very close to you and I really appreciate that - it is such a great quality for a surgeon to have.
The day of my rhinoplasty I was very nervous. I finally relaxed when you came in and talked to me before surgery and after. I also appreciated how you called to see how I was a couple hours post surgery.
You are one of the most talented and skillful doctors in the Boston area. In my day to day life, image means a lot to me, especially when I have face time with clients. You have made me feel extremely confident about myself after surgery. I was very impressed when I was in recovery and had only slight bruising and swelling, leading me to believe that you are also a very gentile and meticulous plastic surgeon.
I wanted to thank you for such an amazing and positive experience. Everyone I have seen post op has said very positive words and asked me for your number! I honestly cannot express how much I admire your talent as a plastic surgeon.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Dr. Anna Petropoulos came highly recommended to me by a friend. I received a Botox injection at another clinic and as a result had severe drooping in both of my eyelids (ptosis) which lasted for several months. My eyelids were already beginning to droop due to age, but the Botox injection made it significantly worse. It caused a dramatic changed in my appearance and was an uncomfortable and embarrassing experience. On the advice of my friend, who has been a patient of Dr. Petropoulos for several years, I hesitantly decided to give it another try. Upon arriving at the office, I was immediately impressed with the professionalism of the office and her staff. When I met with Dr. Petropoulos she listened to my concern about the droop in my eyelids (due to age) and my experience with my last Botox injection. She decided on a conservative dose of Botox and was knowledgeable about where the injection sites should be located to prevent ptosis. The results were incredible. I now see her on a regular basis for my treatments and am very pleased with the results. She also suggested that I see an ophthalmologist to determine if the drooping was affecting my sight. I was tested and the results showed that there was a significant impact on my vision. With this information, Dr. Petropoulos and I decided the best treatment would be an upper blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift.) From my experience with her as my clinician for my Botox treatments, personal recommendations, the before and after pictures on her website, as well as the articles I read about her in both the North Shore Magazine and the Danvers Herald, I had full confidence in her skill as a surgeon. My confidence was justified. I had the surgery almost two years ago and I am extremely satisfied with the results. Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr. Anna Petropoulos for both surgical and non-surgical skin care treatments.

We recently moved to the North Shore from Southern California. So, I was used to the best care, and I have found that with Dr. Petropoulos. She is always so kind and does EXACTLY what it is I wanted.
By the way, I am 71 years young.

Being very conscientous when it comes to my health and well-being, I found myself wondering in 2006 how I might benefit from products such as Botox and Restylane. While I take very good care of myself, there are certain things about aging I cannot effect through good nutrition, regular exercise and sleep. To help combat the effects of aging, I began to see Dr. Petropoulos for facial treatments such as botox, juvederm and like injectables. In 2008, even though I was highly satisfied with both the care and time Dr. Petropoulos provided to me as well as the results, I found myself no longer working in the North Shore area and needed to find a closer location for my treaements. Given the approximate two hour round trip commute from my home to Dr. Petropoulos' offices in Danvers, I felt it prudent to find a local physician to provide me with the same services. After some research, I chose a physician closer to my home and went through the fee-based consultation process to continue receiving periodic botox treatments. While I had some trepidation over changing physicians, I reassured myself that any board certified plastic surgeon should be able to deliver the botox treatment and produce the same results I have come to expect with Dr. Petropoulos. Well, I was so wrong. And, even though I counseled the physician before hand as to the locations on my face where Dr. Petropoulos normally injected me, the physician assured me that the right muscles were being treated in the right amounts for the desired outcome. Unfortunately, the results I derived were not satisfactory, nor equal to the results I was used to receiving with Dr. Petropoulos. In fact, I was left with a different facial expression until the botox wore off several months later. Needless to say I am back with Dr. Petropoulos and very happy to take the time to commute to her offices in order to benefit from the desired results to which I have grown accustomed. I find that Dr. Petropoulos understands the symmetrical configuration of the aesthetically classic face and with an adept eye, knows how to best achieve the desired results using well researched and time-proven products and procedures. I cannot recommend her highly enough and do so on a regular basis to both friends and family members who comment on how good I look. I wear my face everyday and feel it is well worth the investment to look as young as I feel...not to mention the career benefits of looking fresher and more youthful.
