AMAZING doctor, skillful, caring and inventive I had my 4th surgery with him after a horrific near death sky diving accident where I broke into 52 pieces and had no face. Dr. Zukowski was THE ONLY doctor who took me at this stage- after numerous reconstructive surgeries- as he understood that as a woman I still wanted to feel beautiful, not just functional. I have NO IDEA how he could achieve what we achieved- the level of difficulty of the procedures, and the problem with my skin and bone structure after so many damages- did not make his work easy. For me he did humanly impossible task and I finally can look in the mirror and like myself again. He and his entire staff are the best top-notch professionals and kind spirits you can find. read more

Lowkey diabolical. I think he messes up trans women's faces intentionally, and I KNOW he takes advantage of your heightened state and desperation. Rushing you through the process and not being transparent about your options. 0 after care. Also some really pervy comments from this nightmare doctor. I eventually realized I'm nonbinary and I like that I look a little like a monster, but I certainly didnt pay $150,000 to look like a troll from any angle except dead on . My side profile is honestly horrifying and I just try to not think about it to cope. I hope someone reads this before it's too late for them. Oh also 90% sure most of the yelp reviews on here are paid actors. worst type of care I've ever gotten. read more

I began following Dr. Zukowski's website in 1999 while at University, I knew one day I would get there. In October of 2019 I began electrolysis at the Zukowski Center with Milena and her team; only seven visits and ALL my body hair gone. I would not have been able to do that without the twilight sedation Dr. Zukowski offers. In 2020 I had FFS and breast augmentation. Dr. Z came to my hotel room to dicuss my progress with my private nurse every morning and evening. When he took the packaging off my nose I just began crying it was perfect. I had no problems at all with the FFS and BA. I then had lipo later that year, went off without a hitch. I went back just two months ago for a touch up, added fat to the lips, touch-up to ears and hair grafting to forehead. This Doctor can do no wrong. He listens, explains what he is going to do, gets in line with a patients desires, and delivers miracles. I have no been misgendered once!! And this is the truth before the Lord, not once. When he closes his clinic, it is going to be the end of an era for The Community. read more

Best surgeon . Great quality care and great post op follow up. He's definitely a hidden gem!

I underwent my third transition-related operation with Dr. Zukowski (breast implant exchange for $8,0000) on February 29th, and he certainly delivered. My last breast augmentation surgeon was wildly incompetent (Dr. Turkle in Carmel, IN), and I find myself feeling unafraid of calling out cosmetic surgeons, like her, who offer poor service or a poor product because of how botched surgeries can affect one's self-esteem. I'm speaking from experience. Dr. Zukowski is not among the long list of cosmetic surgeons who offer horrible service, however. My forehead reduction turned out great, he voluntarily lowered my hairline to make my forehead look even smaller, my jaw is very round because of him, and my chin re-contouring procedure resulted in a less prominent chin than I previously had. When it comes to my most recent surgery (he augmented my breasts, exchanging my 345cc implants for ~700cc implants), I am very pleased with the results. There is no gap whatsoever, and his incisions are mind-bogglingly small. Other surgeons I've been to create gigantic scars, which I have found myself covering with makeup - something I'm not having to do with the incisions made by Dr. Zukowski. I experience a boost in self-esteem every time I undergo surgery with him, and I need to volunteer as well that his staff treat the LGBT community with nothing but warmth. This is relevant because I've voiced insecurities to them before, about past experiences with surgeries (particularly stressful if you're a matter of minutes post-operative and find yourself feeling a bit panicked in the recovery room), and they've responded to my insecurities so compassionately and empathetically. Don't be intimidated by him and how incredibly frank he tends to be (I'm the same, exact way). It means he's genuine and is not out to swindle you, as are a lot of surgeons. So, I'll be returning for a rhinoplasty/septoplasty in the future and will show pictures of that as well, which I'm excited about. It costs about $6,000 for me, which seems to be rather cheap, given how much non-cosmetic procedures seem to cost, without insurance. Within that same vein, I am BAFFLED that trans women go to San Francisco, a much more expensive market, for these same feminization surgeries - with someone who doesn't have nearly the same amount of experience as Dr. Zukowski does. Save money and go to Dr. Zukowski for the surgeries. There's pretty much nobody who doesn't think I look beautiful because of his excellent work, and that's saying something, as someone who models and is followed by about 70,000 people on social media. I wouldn't put my face out there so courageously if his surgeries didn't make it look amazing. read more

My face is ruined, I saw other bad reviews on Reddit and real self and I didn't believe them, my life has changed, I can no longer show my face anywhere. I live in my room now, and I cry everyday. I look like a freak with my ruined nose, I don't even know how he could mess this up so bad.. I find myself asking if he did this on purpose because I can't understand how a surgeon who's been doing this for so long could give me the hideous nose he gave me. I'm so depressed and I have panic attacks daily read more

Zukowski Mark L, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Wilmette, Illinois

I am 38 years old and my husband is 28 years old. We were looking for the "best" doctor to have abdominal etching and lipo done to our abdominal area, back, chest, and flanks. We both work out daily but were not able to achieve the "perfect" body that we were seeking. We decided to search for a doctor that excelled in these procedures. We narrowed it down to 3 doctors that our friends had work done and their outcomes were perfection to say the least. Thankfully, we chose Doctor Zukowski and his team to proceed with our surgeries. Let me begin with with office staff. The office manager 'Cole' was a godsend. He communicated with us daily in order to prepare us for whats to come, assist with our travel arrangements since we were flying from Florida, and promptly answer all of our questions and concerns. Additionally, Dr. Zukowski also communicated with us prior to the surgery to ensure our that expectations and goals would be met. Dr. Zukowski served his county in the armed forces and treated wounded veterans who were severely injured in battle. Dr. Zukowski's personality was very confident and he had a great sense of humor which eased our anxiety. On the day of our surgeries, we were treated like royalty and were included in all communications between the doctor, nurses, and anesthesiologist so we knew what to expect. I am happy to say that both of our procedures were a complete success. Upon coming out of recovery, the staff transported us back to our hotel, settled us into bed, and ensured we had all of our medications and understood our post-op instructions. Since we were in no condition to fly home, we stayed in town for a week. Dr. Zukowski visited us daily in our hotel to check on our progress and to ensure that we were ok and that we were recovering properly. Cole contacted the airport to ensure that we would be ushered onto the plane without delay since we were both very sore and weak from the procedures and medications. Now that we are home, Cole and Dr. Zukowski contact us weekly for virtual check ups to ensure we are recovering well and that we are following his post-op instructions. Although we had our surgeries just over a week ago, we both see a huge difference in our bodies. I can see significant definition in my abs, a thinner waist line with defined obliques, and "V" shaped back. We both couldn't be happier with our decision to select Dr. Zukowski and his team. We will post pictures once we are completely healed and recovered.... read more

If you're looking to find truly outstanding care, I assure you that your expectations will be exceeded by your experience with Dr. Mark Zukowski and his entire team. Dr. Zukowski's excellence is due not only to his professionalism and confidence in his abilities but also to his attention and responsiveness to his patients. He graciously spends the time listening and fully understanding your vision. 5 stars are not enough to rate Dr. Zukowski's competency! The quality of care I received from Dr. Zukowski is worth noting. From the time I booked an appointment with Cole, (Cole is professional, compassionate, and a truly genuine individual.) He took the time to listen and respond to any questions I had without delay. I cannot say enough great things about Cole. Anything you need, Cole is your liaison as you navigate through your surgical journey. Cole is equally matched with an impeccable support team. Nurse Carmen is an exceptionally kind, caring, and overall happy woman. Her desire to serve her patients was evident from the moment I walked in. I was greeted with a smile and her willingness to go above and beyond was appreciated. She made sure throughout my entire experience that I knew what to expect. She was committed to supporting me until the minute I left the office. She was never rushing me, and I felt like I was looked after, not treated, and then pushed out the door. I want to take some time to mention my actual surgical experience. Dr. Zukowski has a fully accredited facility. I chose this option because a hospital just made me feel like there was much too much exposure to other illnesses during the covid situation. His surgical room was tip-top, clean, sterile, and filled with the very best equipment. When I first walked in, I was nervous about the surgery, but EVERYONE in there put me at ease. Dr. Zukowski's assistant in the OR was welcoming and friendly and I loved him. His overall demeanor was one that made the surgical room inviting, yet extremely professional. You knew he knew what he was doing. I felt like this was a group of people that worked well together and enjoyed their respective jobs. Each person went out of their way to make the surgical experience the best it could be. They were all highly trained to serve the patient throughout the procedure. My nerves relaxed and I just cannot express to you what it means to have a staff that wants you to be comfortable and well informed. The smiles on each face made the difference. And then the team went into gear, and everyone got down to the business of cosmetic surgery. My anesthesiologist was a wonderful, smart, and efficient woman. I cannot thank her enough; I do not remember a thing. : My pain was managed, and I woke up without incident. After the surgery, I was attended to every second. No one left my side and Milena and Carmen helped care for me until I walked out of the office. If I had a question, wanted a sip of water, or a piece of cracker someone was attending to it. My pain level was always managed. THANK YOU ALL! Milena sat by my bedside and always had a friendly smile. The paperwork is extensive, and I found this to be very important. The aftercare instructions, payment options, pictures, health records, and ways to care for yourself at home went beyond my expectations. I never felt like I was uninformed. Thank you Michele for sending all the information! Fast forward, I just had my first check-up and I look great. Adam welcomed me at the door with all the proper covid protocols. Adam is just a kindhearted individual and was prepared for you the minute you walked in. The areas of concern I had on my body before surgery was expertly handled by Dr. Zukowski. He has given me a beautiful shape again. His liposuction work and his ability to contour are exceptional. My pain and aftercare are still well managed. My only regret is that I did not do the aftercare with his private nursing/care option. My family did well as they navigated the post-op care at home, but next time I will do the post-op care with Milena. She wore a bright smile and was very professional. She knew exactly what to do and I went home with my family knowing the surgical team and support system were at the top of their game from the moment I walked in until I left. If you are wondering how you can reach Dr. Zukowski after hours, he provides his cell number and responds quickly. No calls centers and waiting for a return call. He did not make me feel like I was bothering him. He was very detailed on how to handle a particular situation. I followed his instructions and quickly moved past the issue I encountered. Would I do it all over again, a resounding YES! I am pleased to extend my highest recommendation to Dr. Zukowski and his team. I am grateful to have been in their care! read more

The worst plastic surgeon ever. He did my revision rhinoplasty and it was a complete failure. Please research before going for such a surgery. read more
