Cosmetic Surgery

Our plastic surgeons have specialized training and experience in surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. By combining advanced and innovative procedures with academic medicine, we can provide the best outcomes for our patients.

Our plastic surgeons offer the full spectrum of cosmetic surgery, including facial, breast and body surgery.

We take a conservative approach to minimize the chances of complications and side effects. Because surgery can cause drastic life changes, the plastic surgeons at the University of Chicago Medicine Cosmetic Surgery Program take the time to thoroughly discuss your procedure, your specific expectations and your desired outcomes for the surgery.

Policies and Procedures

A $175.00 non-refundable consultation fee is due upon check-in at the front desk. We accept all major credit cards and debit cards. We do not accept cash, personal checks, money orders or electronic phone payments.

Please note: The consultation fee remains regardless if the plastic surgeon moves forward with surgery. It is not a deposit for the case, and we do not guarantee surgery or a quote as a result of the consultation. We are not able to provide pricing information or quotes for surgical procedures until after an initial consultation has been completed.

Breast augmentation, or enhancement, is a cosmetic surgery that increases breast size and enhances breast shape, typically through the placement of silicone or saline breast implants.

Breast enlargement procedures are done using the latest technology to ensure the safety of our patients and to optimize the surgical results.
