Plaza Aesthetics & Wellness was started in December of 2014. It took only a few years for Plaza Aesthetics to be recognized as one of the top medical spas in Kansas City, winning Best Medical Spa by best of KC in 2018 & 2019. Dr Botros is an expert in her field, her practice is centered around evidence based medicine and patient safety & satisfaction. She strives to empower her patients to love the skin they are in.

The office has expanded their staff, hours and services. Dr Botros is excited to have launched our new minimally invasive face & body tightening (Bodytite and Facetite) which have become a very effective alternative to more invasive cosmetic surgical procedures.

She enjoys exercise, the visual and performing arts and has recently taken to her ever expanding collection of houseplants. Dr Botros has dedicated much of her free time to supporting the body positive movement as a plus size model and content creator, encouraging women & men of all ages to feel comfortable and confident in their skin.
