Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in Chicago

You are a vital person on the go, but after a day at the Field Museum or the Bears game, when you get home you're not exactly thrilled with way you look. Sometimes you start noticing a tired appearance even in the morning, despite a good night's rest. Perhaps you're a suburban mom on the North Shore with several children who has made many sacrifices for them, but you're beginning to notice the sacrifices you've made to your body as well. Or perhaps you've lost a lot of weight (through exercise, dieting, or gastric bypass surgery), but find yourself with a significant amount of excess, unattractive skin.

Dr. Paul Steinwald performs cosmetic plastic surgery for Chicago area women and men like you. He is a double board-certified plastic surgeon who understands that plastic surgery has the power to significantly change lives for the better. He feels it is a tremendous responsibility and honor to be involved in your rejuvenation.

Why Choose Cosmetic Surgery?

Fair or not, in this day and age in our society we are judged to a degree by appearances, even in the workplace. When a tired, aging, or "past your prime" appearance hides the vitality we still feel inside, or when our confidence flags due to the gradual changes of aging, it can feel like we are being overlooked or undervalued in society. One outcome common to most successful cosmetic surgery procedures is that the patient feels better in general about the increased attractiveness, vitality and confidence they present to the world.

Generally, "cosmetic surgery" refers to operative procedures principally designed to eliminate undesirable sagging skin or fatty tissues, and/or reposition structures in a more appealing manner, to make the patient appear rejuvenated and refreshed, but also natural. While safety is the number one priority, avoiding an obviously unnatural or "operated on" look is also paramount in our approach. Dr. Steinwald favors using modern but proven plastic surgery methods, including facial rejuvenation, breast enhancement and body contouring. He is highly skilled in combining procedures as part of his popular "Mommy Makeovers" to achieve dramatic, beautiful results for you.

Plastic Surgery in Chicago

Unfortunately, many details of cosmetic surgery are misrepresented on the Web and even in doctor's offices. Worse yet, many cosmetic procedures are being performed by under-qualified physicians. If you are a patient who is considering cosmetic surgery, Chicago provides a multitude of options with respect to practitioners as well as techniques, which can be confusing if not confounding to the patient. We respect our patients and value the role of education as part of the patient experience, working hard to educate you, build trust and develop a lasting relationship. We also believe in offering effective but safe surgical options, and in following through, with follow-up visits personally overseen by Dr. Steinwald up to a year post-operatively.
