In her nearly 30 years, Dr. Christine Petti has sculpted her way into becoming a pioneering presence in the field of plastic surgery — and a very busy one at that. When she’s not at her private practice, the Palos Verdes Plastic Surgery Medical Center, Dr. Petti provides her expertise on television as a guest speaker on CBS series “The Doctors.” She’s also appeared on ABC’s “20/20” as a medical expert and has been featured on NBC’s “Inside Edition.” Her practice stands on the philosophy that beauty stems from a combination of aesthetics and inner peace. Her medical spa, Bella Spa, is the first of its kind in the South Bay. – EK
