About

Dr. Cristina Dracea, MD, FACS, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in East Northport, New York. She specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, breast, and body, including Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL) and Mommy Makeovers. Dr. Dracea offers a range of abdominoplasty procedures, each designed to address specific patient needs, from Mini and Regular Tummy Tucks to Extended, Circular, and Fleur de Lys options. Dr. Dracea emphasizes tailored results, stating there is no single "right size" for treatments like lip fillers; instead, outcomes are determined by the patient's taste and what complements their face. She collaborates with patients during consultations to achieve results that make them happiest and most confident, focusing on proper technique and respecting natural shapes. For injectables, she uses Botox to address facial asymmetry, downturn smiles, gummy smiles, and to enhance facial harmony by easing symptoms like teeth clenching. She also provides lip fillers to boost hydration, improve symmetry, and smooth fine lines.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Cristina Dracea

Sourced directly from Dr. Cristina Dracea's social posts and replies.

What are the various applications and benefits of Botox treatments offered by Dr. Dracea?
Dr. Dracea offers Botox as a versatile, non-surgical treatment for various concerns. It can correct a downturn smile, enhance facial harmony, and ease symptoms like teeth clenching and grinding (Masseter Botox). Botox also improves facial symmetry by lifting brows, softening uneven jawlines, adjusting asymmetrical smiles, smoothing chin dimpling, and addressing tension-related imbalances. For a gummy smile, Botox is injected into upper lip muscles to reduce their activity, subtly lowering the lip and minimizing gum show. This temporary treatment typically lasts 3-6 months. Overall, Botox aims for wrinkle reduction, more youthful skin, and a beauty transformation.

How far in advance should Botox be scheduled before a big event for optimal results?
For the most natural and flawless Botox results in photos for a big event, patients should aim to get Botox at least a month before, preferably 5-7 weeks prior. This timing allows the product to settle, bruising to diminish, and provides ample time for any necessary touch-ups.

They are perfect for those looking to refresh their look confidently and comfortably.

What is a Lip Flip with Botox, and what are its benefits?
A Lip Flip with Botox is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, causing it to roll slightly outward. This creates the appearance of a fuller lip without adding volume. Benefits include a natural-looking subtle lip enhancement, improved lip shape, and a reduced appearance of fine lines around the mouth, all with little downtime.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$1,085

Payments

22

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Cristina Dracea received $1,085 across 22 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Organogenesis Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
