Dr. Sikorski is a recognized professional in skincare and facial surgery. Her eye for detail, extensive training in the arts, and technical skill contribute to exceptional outcomes and an excellent patient experience. In her words:
“I believe in treating patients—not just performing procedures—because cosmetic services are a personal journey. I invite you to share your goals, talk with me about your motivations, and feel great about the treatment and results you receive.”

Dr. Sikorski understands how to use light, shadow, and contouring to create attractive features through both surgery and cosmetic treatments. She typically can apply subtle changes—rather than dramatic alteration—to provide significant and natural-looking improvement.
“I believe that the study of art is an integral part of aesthetic care. In my procedures and treatments, I emphasize harmony, symmetry, and flow between the features for a more beautiful outcome.”
