Northwestern Plastic Surgery Results in Our Photo Gallery

The decision to have plastic surgery is not one to be taken lightly. Most men and women that consider a cosmetic procedure to improve their appearance do plenty of research before their mind has been made up. While there is plenty that can be learned by reading articles about a given procedure, it is often difficult for potential patients to imagine what they will look like after their procedure.

Northwestern Plastic Surgery in Chicago offers a wide variety of cosmetic procedures to improve various parts of the body. In our complete before and after photo gallery offers men and women interested in plastic surgery the opportunity to view photos of real Chicago plastic surgery patients. While these photos are a good representation of the kinds of results that can be achieved at Northwestern Plastic Surgery, it is important to remember not everyone will achieve the same results.

We invite you to schedule your consultation with one of our board certified plastic surgeons to discuss how you might benefit from cosmetic surgery.

Breast Lift – Chicago

It’s no secret that gravity takes its toll on all areas of our bodies, but for women, perhaps none so severe as the breasts. In addition to gravity, we also have genetics, pregnancy, nursing and changes in weight to battle against. If you are unhappy with the sagging, droopy appearance of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for Breast Lift Surgery.

In a Breast Lift procedure the excess skin from around the areola is removed, the breast are lifted and the remaining skin is closed around the areola to create perkier, firmer and more youthful breasts. The areola can also be adjusted in shape, size or location to better complete the transformation in the most natural and aesthetically pleasing way, but the in almost all cases the areola and nipple will remain intact to their original blood supply and nerves.

Some women may find that in addition to sagging, their breasts have also suffered a loss of mass. If this is the case, a Breast Lift in combination with a Breast Augmentation may be the best route to achieve your goals. Take a look at our Before and After Chicago Breast Lift Photo Gallery to get an idea of the results Breast Lift can achieve and contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation when you are ready to start discussing your options.

Chicago Nose Surgery – Rhinoplasty

There are many parts of the body which plastic surgery can be used to improve. One of the most common body parts that people are unhappy with is the nose. There are a number of nose imperfections, both aesthetically and structurally, that can be improved through Rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, can improve or alter the appearance of a nose that is too large, too small, has a bump on the bridge of the nose and more. Rhinoplasty alters the nose so it is in better proportion to the rest of the facial features. Nose surgery may also improve breathing problems associated with a misshaped nose such as snoring.

Helping You Trim Your Trouble Areas with Chicago Liposuction

There are various parts of our body that fat likes to collect. The midsection, upper arms, thighs, hips, and buttocks are among the most common areas people struggle to get rid of pockets of fat that have made themselves at home. Using the latest in surgical techniques, our Chicago board certified plastic surgeons are able to remove stubborn pockets of fat using liposuction.

Diet and exercise is the preferred method of weight loss and should be attempted before considering cosmetic surgery. Unfortunately, the above mentioned trouble areas don’t always respond well to diet and exercise often leaving people feeling defeated. While liposuction is not a form of weight loss, it is a good alternative for some after hours in the gym and a good diet do not produce the results they are looking for. A consultation with one of our skilled surgeons is needed to determine if you are a good candidate for liposuction.
