If there’s something you need to pluck, freeze, zap, remove, shrink, or enhance on your skin, Dr. Amber Botros has your back. And your front. And any place in between.
Dr. Botros is the brains and beauty guru behind Plaza Aesthetics & Wellness, which will celebrate its tenth anniversary later this year. The acclaimed med spa boasts a who’s who of influential clients in the metro. “My practice is centered around evidence-based medicine, and patient safety and satisfaction,” she says. “I strive to empower my patients to love the skin they are in.”
If Dr. Botros looks familiar, she should. In addition to her beauty-preneur duties, she’s dedicated much of her free time to supporting the body-positive movement as a plus-size model. She tells us her goal is to encourage women and men of all ages to feel comfortable and confident in their skin.
We dished with Dr. Botros over a back wax recently to ping her with our pithy questionnaire. She laughed. We cried. Everyone wins. Bless.
The Pitch: What iconic TV/film hat could you wear on your head every day for the rest of your life?
Dr. Amber Botros: Lady Dimitrescu’s hat from Resident Evil. I’ve never seen the series but have been told on numerous occasions I should attend Planet Comicon as Lady Dimitrescu. She’s a curvy, 9’6 queen who never ages. Oh, and she can turn into a dragon at any time. I’m here for this.
Other than expired sunscreen, what’s the worst possible product you could use on your skin?
Tanning or baby oil. You know, the Hawaiian Tropic that smells of coconut and pineapple rum? Basically, anything that could possibly accelerate the tanning process and worsen the sun’s harmful rays to your beautiful skin.
If you were a bean, what bean would you be? (Yes, like the legume.)

I prefer jelly when it comes to beans. Give me all the sweets. Please and thank you.
What Halloween costume have you always wanted to unveil, but have yet to do so?
Jessica Rabbit! My only holdup is that I have yet to find the perfect wig. This sex pot icon could be so good, but if done poorly, it would be a catastrophic fail to the beloved legend. In 2023, I knocked Peg Bundy out of the park. In fact, I still have people bringing up that costume. So, unless I can appropriately portray the character, I’d prefer to save it for future use.
Bonus 5th Question: What’s the most expensive plane ticket (or hotel room) you’ve ever purchased?
Haha! I’m super-fresh off Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. Go Chiefs!
