Physician Assistant-Certified
Physician Assistant-Certified | Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery | Microsurgery Trained
Erika Hopkins, PA-C, has spent more than six years in plastic surgery, dedicating her career to cosmetic and reconstructive care. Her background spans complex lymphatic reconstruction, trauma and wound care, and aesthetic injectables.
Erika’s career began at the Cleveland Clinic, where she helped build a new Division of Supra-microsurgery focused primarily on lymphatic reconstruction; among the most technically demanding work in the specialty.
That reconstructive foundation informs her aesthetic practice, where her focus is on tailored, undetectable treatment for patients seeking youthful and natural-looking results. Individual outcomes vary and are discussed during consultation.

Her Approach to Aesthetic Treatment
Years spent on reconstructive cases shape how Erika approaches cosmetic work: with attention to underlying anatomy, tissue quality, and how a result will age rather than how it photographs on day one.
Her interest is in tailorable treatment for patients who want youthful, natural results; work that reads as rested rather than as work.
Every plan begins with a conversation about goals and an honest assessment of what a given treatment may and may not achieve.
