My review is actually for Dr. Cobbins at this same practice…read more Almost 1 year after my original BA I am still so thrilled I went with Dr. Cobbins. She was very realistic but also open with me and what I wanted. I always felt taken care of and like I could ask questions. She did a wonderful job addressing my partner's questions too since he would be helping with my aftercare. There was a minor complication that developed preventing my right side from dropping as it should, and Dr. Cobbins was very supportive and proactive about doing a crease revision and I was only charged a partial fee for the anesthesiologist, for the procedure 3 months after my original BA. Dr. Cobbins is approachable, realistic and caring. I had another consultation (NSPS) before deciding on Aesthetic Institue of Chicago and they wanted to charge me more, didn't really listen to me and talked down to me, trying to push me towards an incision style I did not want. I was able to tell Dr. Cobbins what I wanted, she told me what she thought would fit best and I ended up going one size below my maximum. My results are very natural looking but help me finally fill out clothing the way I wanted to. Getting this surgery and having such a supportive surgical team and doctor helped me finally have the confidence I had been searching for over many years. I went wedding dress shopping about three months ago and were it not for my surgery, I don't think I would have enjoyed the experience as much as I did nor felt as good in my dress.

When I started my BA journey my very first phone call to make a consultation appointment was with…read moreDr. T. I wasn't sure what to expect with this journey (especially during a pandemic) so I opted to schedule a virtual consultation with Monika. I actually ended up making 2 more appointments with other surgeons and both of these were completed before I had my appointment with Chicago Breast and Body. My virtual consultation with Monika was actually over FaceTime as there were some technical difficulties with the website we were supposed to use. Monika herself was VERY sweet I enjoyed talking to her, but I never met Dr. T since I didn't get that far. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I was given a quote with a certain discount which was nice, but I was given until the end of that day to let them know if I would accept that quote. To me that isn't acceptable. I felt pressured! I'm not saying I needed weeks to think about my options, but I did expect to have more than a few hours. The quote Monika offered was actually more affordable than the other two, but I didn't like the fact that I was pressured to make this decision.

I had Dr Rachel do a face lift, lip filler, and rhinoplasty. I spent $20,000 and my nose now looks…read morecloser to my old nose than the picture I gave him of the nose I wanted. The face lift was okay, but he could have done better. See images below. The final results have left me with bumps and seamed (raised) skin all along my hair line. He took cartilage from my ears to put in my nose, but he didn't tell me. I found out after surgery. The day of the of surgery, I had to call him back into the room to remind him about the lip filler and how I wanted most of the filler in the top lip. Even after that, he put most of it in the bottom lip. When I came in for my one-month post-surgery appointment, I told him the nostrils were too big. He said he didn't touch the nostrils and that would be another procedure. I was so shocked and upset by his response, I didn't say anything. So, you want me to pay twice for what you should have done the first time???!!! Why didn't you touch the nostrils? It's my opinion that he is so concerned with his reputation and his work looking natural that he completely disregards what his patients ask for, what will make them look theirjawl best, and ultimately what will make them happy with the face they have to walk around with. And yes, I look better than before. But I didn't pay $20,000 to look better. I paid $20,000 to look good. Now I'm walking around with a $7,000 nose that I like less than my old nose and I'm wondering if I could have gotten the same jawline results with $1000 worth of laser tightening treatments and a good moisturizer. And to make matters worse, they gaslit me to a point where they had me give them a good review. How? They insisted in time everything would look better. It doesn't. You tell me. Look at the pictures. Would you pay $20,000 for these results? In addition: The receptionist was rude to me when I first called (At the Glenview office). The pre-surgery nurse kept repeating how thorough he was, except saying he was thorough was the only thing he was actually thorough about. He didn't return my messages. Several times he called me at the wrong time, then had to call me back because he misread his schedule. He then told me I'd have to tape my glasses to my forehead after surgery. Luckily, I found a band specifically made for glasses post rhinoplasty on Amazon. How didn't he know that? The day of the surgery the nurse was 30 minutes late, telling me that she didn't know that there was surgery that day. The anesthesiologist, however, was a dream. No stomach pain or nausea after surgery. She gave me an extra patch after I told her that I had a sensitive stomach. Their post-surgery follow up was a joke and consisted of a couple 2 min phone calls. They also sent my medication to a pharmacy an hour away from my home. All in all, this was one of the most disappointing things I've ever went through, ending up with me not wanting to look in the mirror anymore.

I had been to several consultations before I met with her, but I knew she was the one within 30 seconds of meeting. She was very clear and reasonable about my anticipated results. She listened to what I wanted and clarified what was realistic. I appreciated her honesty and it gave me a better understanding of what to expect. I scheduled the surgery with her nurse, Katie, (who is also phenomenal) and saw Dr. Cobbins a few weeks later for my preoperative appointment. I genuinely felt she was as excited as I was. She was very clear about what to expect the day before surgery, day after surgery, and follow-up instructions. She answered every single question and was available by phone, if I had any additional questions after I left. The day of surgery, I felt incredibly supported by Dr. Cobbins and Katie who have excellent bedside manner. I remember waking up after surgery with Katie sitting by me and I felt so relieved. The receptionists even entertained my mom while she was waiting for me to be discharged and I appreciate the kindness. I saw both of them again a few days later and Dr. Cobbins even met me on the weekend (when their office is technically closed) to remove the drain. The results were nothing less than perfect. I was so pleased with their size and shape, plus the scarring seems really minimal. Dr. Cobbins has also continued to follow-up consistently and has been available for additional questions/concerns. I don't think I will be able to express how much I appreciate her and her staff. Don't go to any other surgeon!

This is the first time I'm writing a review on my procedure. Six years ago I had a skinny bbl done…read moreby Dr Lorri Cobbins. I was naive at the time but I really wanted a little bit added to my bottom so I went in for a consult. I was also really skinny (like model skinny) so even then she told me oh yeah I've had patients your size or smaller do procedures by me, I wish she rejected me or at least did a less risky procedure since her skills didn't match the words I heard. My body was so perfect in every way before this procedure (just wanted a little boost on my bottom). I remember I said "I heard some peoples shoulders get bigger she was like "Oh no that's not true at all." She did Lipo to my stomach which barely had much fat, inner thighs, and back. Anyways 6 yrs later and I'm struggling with my body image. I've lost my confidence, my skinny bbl doesn't look great, can't find a solution because I have skin laxity on my back and stomach, scarring/tethering (again this is from the aggressive lipo she did and how she used the surgical tools), Lipo fibrosis on stomach and back and yes the upper back looks bigger. I followed all the instructions of wearing the compression garment and everything. The problem wasn't the aftercare instructions I perfectly followed, the problem was the poor surgical technique. She did aggressive lipo on me, took out too much fat because I was thin and ruined the look of my skin. I now have 2 rolls on my back that I never had before my procedure and I feel always bloated for some odd reason no matter what I eat healthy or not even though my diet didn't change. I only gained about 10 pounds (still at a weight women would love) but even with that if the surgical skills were good the body would grow out nice and even, it wouldn't look botched. I wish she rejected me and told me to come back in a year or 2 if I want something permanent after I try something temporary. I wish she told me thoroughly and openly what kind of problems can come up (this was only briefly discussed and none of the problems I have now were discussed as potential issues after surgery). I wish she gave me a temporary option or smaller procedure not as damaging as a first solution to see what it would look like. I didn't receive any other options. I think plastic surgeons (especially ones who've had botched outcomes from their work) need to give a couple options and really think about if the contouring will look nice with each option so the patient can have a good long term outcome and more people will trust them for procedures. Dr. Cobbins took away the most thing that made me confident back then and damaged my body. I am struggling in every way imaginable because of this procedure done by Dr. Lorri Cobbins. The most perfect parts of my body were ruined because of horrible surgical technique and now I am left grieving it. I struggle every day to look for a way to fix it and I'm too afraid to go to someone else that may further damage me. I don't take photos anymore like I used to, I don't try on clothes when I shop like I want to. I can't look at myself in the mirror the same way. Please if you want a better/different look try temporary cosmetic things first so they go away if you don't like them and you don't have to live with the permanent result of a botched procedure.

The woman who did my Botox was lovely, talked about what I wanted/needed and asked lots of questions about my previous experience so that she could provide the perfect care, which was thoughtful (and also super professional!). The Botox itself was painless (they have the buzzer for you to use which is awesome for someone with no pain tolerance like me!) and was completed in under 20 minutes. It has set in now and I am no longer waking up with headaches/tight jaw, so definitely works for TMJ girlies like myself. I also thought the pricing was super fair, very much in line with what I've paid before and the touchups being included the first two weeks is super generous (I didn't need any, but neat perk!). I will absolutely be back when I need my next dose! Highly recommend this med spa.

My initial visit put me on the moon: Dr. S was timely and…read morewanted to make things happen. His staff in the room works for me as they were all professional, personable and knowledgeable while being open to getting information for me about the look I did not want. Sidebar: I brought in pictures. Anywhoo, the front desk was personable, helpful and professional including my greeting to my exit. Unfortunately, I parked in the wrong ramp so there was no comp. What can improve: 1) follow-up. I didn't hear from anyone after the insurance submission. I don't know if they appealed or have a business manager or office manager that reaches out to just say here's our cost, out of pocket, or if they feel folks wont come up with it. 2) I learned fromy insurance billing that Dr. S is out of my network but I was prepared to pay that BECAUSE I have seen his work and talked to ladies for candid feedback/testimonals. 3) Bill arrived but I didn't see a website to pay online which I would have much rather alas I called in Friday, March 21st and the person that answered was less than stellar compared to my physical visit. To wrap it up, I asked if I may have the receipt emailed and she called out another email address. She sounded incredulous as if I don't know my classic 1990s Yahoo email that I've had since freshmen year. Anywhoo, I'm not the Gmail girl. We have our school email for Life so I use it for business. My point: let's not be testy like I don't know my email. Anywhoo...I, in turn, made it easier for her in this moment: Rather than spell out the school email we'll just slap yahoo on there and be done. Tbh, her response bothered me more than the office lack of follow-up once the denial arrived. C'est la vié. Yes, I can recommend Dr. S for the work seen on others and his let's get it done attitude. The ladies in consult are physicians in training but I don't care for the iPhone being the item used to take personal pictures.
