Dr. Lalikos was educated as a medical artist. She received a magna cum laude bachelor of arts degree from Case Western Reserve University in conjunction with the Cleveland Institute of Art — designing her own degree in biological illustration. That artistic background served her well as she moved into the field of cosmetic surgery.
She received both an MD and an MA degree in medical illustration from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. It was there that she realized that plastic surgery would be the natural synthesis of her talents and interests. She completed her general surgery residency at Vanderbilt University and her plastic surgery residency at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. She has trained in cleft and craniofacial anomalies at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou, Taiwan.
Dr. Lalikos’ general clinical interests revolve around plastic surgical treatment of mother and child, including repair, reconstruction and restoration.
