Our experienced staff at Boston Plastic Surgery are here to help you through every step of your journey. We invite you to get to know our staff a little more at a personal consultation.
Maureen Walls, RN: Patient Coordinator
Maureen Walls, RN, our Patient Coordinator at Boston Plastic Surgery, says that the reason she believes the staff is so extraordinary is that Dr. Samaha has chosen each one for not just their professional expertise but, just as importantly, the way that they treat patients. From the friendly, helpful attitude at the front desk as soon as you walk in the door to sensitive post-surgery care, everyone on the team treats each patient like they are a part of the family. The staff is made up of mature, seasoned professionals with extensive experience in the field of cosmetic surgery.
“Change is never easy and can be scary. We really understand that, especially when it’s in such an unfamiliar terrain like cosmetic surgery. Our job is to make each patient feel informed, comfortable, and cared for. The experience should be as satisfying as the results.”
Maureen combines her extensive experience as a nurse with a genuine caring for people to help provide a safe and comfortable experience for all of our patients.

Kathy Antonowicz: Medical Aesthetician & Laser Technician
Kathy specializes in skin care services, laser treatments, and hair removal. She provides skin care evaluations, helps our patients determine their skin care goals, teaches home care to help her patients reach those goals, and provides a range of treatments to combat skin conditions and premature aging of the skin.
Kathy is a certified Electrologist, Electrology and Aesthetics instructor, performing and teaching the technique for permanent hair removal from the face and body. As a laser instructor, Kathy has taught many doctors and nurses how to use Cutera and Sciton lasers and contributes data to research studies underway pertaining to these technologies.
Kathy has been providing skin care services, laser, and electrology treatments for over 16 years, and has worked with doctors for the past 26 years.
“I consider patient education the most important service I can offer our patients. Today’s most innovative skin care products are now formulated to penetrate more deeply and are actually capable of restructuring the skin. They change your skin from the inside out, while you’re also treating it from the outside in. These are exciting developments in skin care, and I want our patients to understand the potential of the products and services we have for them.”
Olivia Powers, Licensed Aesthetician
With 6 years of experience, Olivia is passionate about helping others feel their best, drawing inspiration from her own journey with skincare. She is thrilled to work alongside Kathy here at the Skin Wellness Center at Boston Plastic Surgery. Olivia loves performing Hydrafacials, which leave skin glowing with no downtime, making them perfect for any special event or just a nice refresh! She also swears by the ZO Exfoliating Polish for a soft, refreshed complexion. When she’s not at work, you can find Olivia spending quality time with her beloved niece and nephew.
“Each patient that walks in is a new connection I have the opportunity to make and I am forever grateful for that. I love seeing smiling faces leave my room after a treatment and my goal is to always provide you with just that!”
