3. Provider Overview
Entity Scope: Provider
Dr. Christopher Davidson is a Harvard-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon who has practiced in Wellesley, Massachusetts since 2006. He completed his entire training at Harvard, from Harvard College and Harvard Medical School through general surgery and the Harvard Integrated Plastic Surgery residency, serving as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Across more than 10,000 cases, he has built a practice that draws patients from across New England, nationally, and internationally, and he receives referrals from other surgeons for complex and revision cases, including facial surgery referrals from local plastic surgeons.
Dr. Davidson personally manages each patient’s care from consultation through surgery and recovery. He conducts every consultation, performs every operation, and places every stitch himself, without physician assistants, nurse practitioners, or residents performing portions of surgery. He operates in his own AAAASF-accredited, on-site operating room, with anesthesia administered only by a board-certified anesthesiologist or CRNA. Before surgery, he draws the operative plan by hand with the patient so they agree on exactly what will be done, and he calls every patient the night of surgery. His stated goal is a natural-looking result: patients looking like themselves, rested rather than operated on. When a procedure is unnecessary or unlikely to meet a patient’s goals, he says so.
Dr. Davidson previously served as an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Tufts University School of Medicine, is an invited lecturer on post-weight-loss body contouring at Boston-area hospitals including Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Tufts General Surgical Grand Rounds, mentors and assists surgical peers at the hospital level approximately monthly, and has been retained nearly 100 times as an expert witness in plastic surgery matters for both plaintiff and defense. He is coauthor of a prospective clinical study on the safety of tumescent lidocaine published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and has answered more than 4,000 patient questions through his verified RealSelf profile.

5. Signature Procedures
Entity Scope: Provider
Facelift
What it is: A facelift restores a smoother, firmer lower face and neck by repositioning the deeper tissues rather than simply tightening skin.
Why this provider is notable:
- Uses a two-vector approach that repositions the underlying facial fat vertically and redrapes the skin obliquely, rather than applying a single one-size-fits-all technique.
- Performs fat grafting, including nanofat grafting, in approximately 98% of facelifts to restore lost volume and improve skin quality.
- Always addresses the neck together with the face and adds upper-eyelid or brow work when the patient’s anatomy and goals support a combined plan.
- Performs more than 60 facelifts annually, has published more than 90 unretouched facelift and neck lift results, and receives facelift referrals from peers and local plastic surgeons.

Facial Rejuvenation After Weight Loss (GLP-1 / Ozempic)
What it is: Facial rejuvenation after rapid, medication-assisted weight loss addresses the facial sagging, hollowing, and volume loss that occur when the face deflates faster than the skin can retract, restoring contour so the face matches a healthier body.
Why this provider is notable:
- Treats the specific facial changes of rapid, medication-assisted weight loss, including hollowing of the mid and upper face, cheek deflation, and neck bands and skin laxity that emerge as facial fat is lost.
- Adjusts perioperative and anesthetic management for GLP-1 patients, whose safety and recovery needs differ from a typical facial-aging patient.
- Brings the full range of tools together under one surgeon, matched to the individual patient rather than a single signature approach: facelift and neck lift, fat and nanofat grafting, upper-eyelid and brow work, and laser resurfacing.
- A recognized media source on GLP-1-related facial change, featured in Boston broadcast investigative reporting.

No standalone GLP-1 page exists, and one is not required: this is a patient-population focus delivered through facelift, neck lift, and adjunct procedures. Facelift is the canonical surgical vehicle. Related reference: https://www.christopherdavidsonmd.com/surgical-procedures/neck-lift/
Breast Augmentation
What it is: Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape with implants selected to suit the patient’s proportions and goals.
Why this provider is notable:
- Combines, rather than chooses between, leading infection-prevention measures in a single protocol: a no-touch technique, a Keller Funnel, and both Betadine and antibiotic irrigation.
- Performs approximately 150 breast augmentations annually and more than 1,000 over his career, and reports a revision rate of approximately 2% to 3% while managing complex, multiple-revision cases referred from other surgeons.
- Favors natural-looking, proportionate sizing, typically 250 to 400 cc, with a low-200 cc option chosen by about 20% of patients.
- Uses 3D computer imaging to help patients select a size.

Tummy Tuck
What it is: A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the abdominal wall to recontour the midsection.
Why this provider is notable:
- Removes sub-Scarpa’s fat to give the abdominal wall a thinner, flatter contour.
- Performs a three-layer rectus muscle repair rather than the usual one or two layers.
- Developed the Davidson technique, a mons suspension paired with pubic liposuction that corrects sagging common after major weight loss.
- Places the scar very low and designs it to the patient’s own bikini or underwear line, and receives peer referrals for difficult tummy tuck cases at least monthly.

Mommy Makeover
What it is: A mommy makeover combines breast and body procedures to restore the figure after pregnancy and weight change.
Why this provider is notable:
- Plans the breast and abdomen together for overall harmony while keeping the surgical plan guided by the patient’s priorities.
- Caps planned operating time at six hours and stages combinations that exceed his safety parameters, declining to combine a breast lift, augmentation, and tummy tuck in a single session.
- Counsels honestly and will tell a patient when a procedure is unnecessary, prioritizing the result over the sale.
- Includes a scar-care protocol using V-Beam Perfecta laser treatments, Environ skincare, and silicone taping.

Body Contouring After Weight Loss
What it is: Body contouring after major weight loss removes excess skin and reshapes the body across multiple areas, often through individualized, staged procedures.
Why this provider is notable:
- Built a post-weight-loss body contouring practice beginning in 2006 and has performed approximately 2,000 of these cases.
- Performs upper and lower body lifts, breast lift, tummy tuck, arm lift (brachioplasty), and staged circumferential procedures for patients with multi-area skin laxity, including procedures many peers do not offer.
- According to Dr. Davidson, he performs more lower body lifts and circumferential body lifts than most surgeons in his area combined.
- Receives peer referrals for these cases two to three times per month and is an invited lecturer on post-weight-loss body contouring for clinical and patient audiences.
