From the reviews
I've been considering having breast augmentation for well over 10 years but my fears of possible complications stopped me from doing it sooner. I've had 5 consultations with top plastic surgeons in the Chicago land area but Dr.
Dr. Braithewaite has been my doctor for a decade for various procedures from botox to filler to augmentation. He's even corrected by c-section scars. He is a genuinely good-hearted doctor, never pushy, takes time with you, and I've never had pain from his procedures.
I flew into Chicago from California to be seen by Dr. Cobbins due to her and Dr. Braithwaite’s phenomenal reputations. She’s truly an expert in her field and makes you feel welcome the moment she walks into the room.
I so enjoyed my experience with Dr. Cobbins. I had been considering a procedure for years and I cannot believe I waited for so long. The results are perfect. Dr. Cobbins gave me honest feedback when I spoke about my concerns and has such a wonderful personality. Everyone was so helpful on surgery day.
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.
