About this practice
What patients say again and again
“My recovery went better than I thought as well.”
“I met with a local surgeon but didn't have the level of confidence with him that I had with Dr.”
From the reviews
I had a tummy tuck and liposuction in June 2019 and it was the best decision I've ever made! My results actually far exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy with my results. I went from a size 12/14 to a size 6/8. Aside from Dr.
Dr. Jim Platis is the Best. Paramount to all others. I had worked in the aesthetic field for years in Dallas and many other states where plastic surgery is the thing. Doc Platis is NOT like the other docs in plastics. He is a gem. Loving, compassionate and knows what the person and their body needs.
I went to see Dr. Platis for a breast lift and augmentation. I couldn’t be more happy with my results and it’s only been a week. The whole staff was kind and Dr. Platis was very educating on the whole procedure. I recommend seeing him! He is one of the best!
I first met Dr. Platis in 2008, after seeing his advertisement in a local NW Indiana medical magazine. He was being endorsed by none other than Dr. Phil, saying he was the leading surgeon in the Chicago area. We lived in NW Indiana so his Merrillville office was convenient for me.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
