Many mothers turn to the “mommy makeover,” which reconstructs both the abdomen and the breasts. Depending on the severity of the changes, there are several options for women. To reconstruct the tummy, there are several different options available at my practice. After pregnancy, some mothers only find the skin on their stomach to be somewhat stretched and don’t experience much weight gain. In this case, a noninvasive treatment is usually the best—Thermage can be used to shrink the skin. This is a non-surgical skin tightening device that utilizes microwaves to contract collagen. For those who only have a little outstretched skin and small amount of extra fat, CoolLipo laser liposuction can be an excellent choice. This minimally invasive procedure will break up and eliminate fat cells, while at the same time, promote skin tightening. All this without scars. *

Not every woman is born with the breasts they want. Breasts also change over time, as age, breastfeeding, weight loss, and other factors contribute to volume loss, sagging, or drooping. At my Skokie, Illinois practice, I restore the confidence of my patients through breast enhancement surgery. My approach results in the most natural appearance, without scars. While other surgeons tend to avoid performing endoscopic axillary breast augmentation, I specialize in this technique. Placing the breast implant through the armpit with a minimal incision allows for absolutely no scars and beautiful, natural-looking breasts. This also results in a speedier recovery, as many of my patients return to their day-to-day activities within just 48 hours after surgery. For patients seeking a breast lift (with or without implants), my “internal lift” technique creates no vertical scars. I also avoid anchor-type scars for both breast lift and breast reduction surgery.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

I do not think there s any more risk /discomfort with armpit incision and you have a real benefit of not having ugly scar on you breasts, For me it is a no brainer why to have ugly scar (yes it will be there no matter what they say) to show on your underboob if you can have none.... I think a lot of surgeons are against transaxillary breast augmentation because they do not feel comfortable performing it or they even never tried or got train in performing it. I learned how to safely and successfully perform this type of breast augmentation over 25 years ago. Since then I augmented many thousands of breasts this way and this is my experience: it is my preferred way to do it (for a right candidate) my main reason is: why mutilate perfect beautiful woman's body if you can avoid it? And there is really no downside, it is not true that are more complications, problems or capsular contractures than with any other way to do it. If surgeon is skilled and knows how to perform axillary breast augmentation results are very predictable. I would not be repeating this procedure for over 25 years if it would be causing problems. It would be insane since I sometimes have 10 patients /week and would ha to deal with a lot of unhappy women... And do not trust surgeons who tell you under the breast incision is great. Frequently, they are quite visible, stretched, dark, keloidal and quite annoying. Especially in small breasts that have no folds make these scars impossible to hide. Last time I performed inframammary incision is over 20 years ago. There is no need for that. Armpit incisions ALWAYS heal great, and they are either invisible or look like a wrinkle in your armpit. And in my experience problems that people are describing are if anything less common that with other approaches.

Thank you for your question. Plastic surgeons who have extensive experience with tummy tucks or abdominoplasty are able to correct your diastasis and hernia if you have one. Generally you will not need any mesh to repair diastasis. You have the option to do all three surgeries- tummy tuck, diastasis repair, and hernia repair all at the same time. It will not prolong your recovery combining all three surgeries either. This is typically the combination that I Suggest if necessary for my patients. I suggest consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon.

This is a great and popular procedure for men and women of all ages to go through if you are a candidate. This is  done under local anesthesia and takes about one hour. The scar where the ear is fixed is very faint and thin and nearly invisible as time goes on. Patients who have trauma, stretched out ear lobes from earrings, or weight are all great candidates. The pain is minimal post procedure and can be managed with Tylenol if needed. I recommend re piercing the ear in a different location other than the car no earlier than 6 weeks post procedure.

Exceptional Surgeon, Incredible Results

Dr. Turowski is a true artist. I was initially nervous about having surgery, but he made the entire process so much more comfortable than I ever expected. His team of nurses and staff were incredible—attentive, kind, and reassuring every step of the way. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the whole experience. I couldn’t be happier with my results from mastopexy, breast augmentation, and brachioplasty.

Lipo & J-plasma on Calves

I’ll give you the TLDR version first: I’m so happy I had lipo on my calves. They look so much leaner, and I no longer have a bulge of shaking fat when I walk. As I’m in my late 50s, I had J-plasma as well. It’s harder for me to tell if that worked fully; I do have a little laxity, but the leaner look of my calves far outweighs any slight laxity. I highly recommend Dr. Turowski for his work. I’ve had two procedures done by him, and I’m extremely happy with both. Full review: A few years ago, my calves - which used to never be an issue for me - started to really bother me. There was a bulky bulge of fat on the inner upper part of my calves that shook when I walked. Made me so self-conscious. I started investigating lipo for calves but learned that not all doctors recommend it. More worrisome to me was the fact that I’m in my late 50s, and I wasn’t sure if any of my skin would snap back after the lipo. I decided to schedule a consult with Dr. Turowski because he had done my lip lift and I was very happy with those results. He was very honest and realistic about the lipo procedure, outlining risks. He told me that he recommended adding J-plasma to help with skin tightening. I was able to talk with one of his patients who had the lipo/j-plasma done on her calves. That was very helpful in my decision. I’m not gonna lie - the recovery was intense, especially the first week. I still have some residual numbness, but the nerves have been slowly coming back each week. I also have some discoloration on the backs of my calves, but that too seems to be slowly improving. It is SO great that there are no bulges of fat shaking when I walk. And I love the new leaner look of my calves. A bonus is being able to better fit into fashionable boots. Hope this review helps others who are considering this procedure.

Exceptional Experience with Dr. Turowski – Twice!

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Turowski and his team! He performed my first breast augmentation back in 2005, and the results were absolutely amazing. Twenty years later, in 2025, I returned to him for new implants, and once again, I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Turowski is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and attentive. He takes the time to ensure the best possible outcome, and his expertise truly shows in his work. The entire staff was also fantastic—professional, friendly, and supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Turowski to anyone considering breast augmentation or any cosmetic procedure. His experience and dedication to his patients make all the difference!

Kudos to Dr. Gregory Turowski, Exceptionally Skilled Surgeon

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Turowski. From the moment I met him, I had a good feeling about this man. He seemed caring and is a high-level professional with vast experience and an excellent reputation. After considering several alternatives, I went with my gut feeling and chose Dr. T. to do my breast surgery. He gave me an explant, fat transfer, reverse tummy tuck, and a lift. The surgery went very well and I've been relieved and happy ever since. He and his team did a superb job! The nurses were all super-nice, caring, and professional. I felt in good hands all the way through with New Horizons. I feel so good about my body now and I am forever grateful to Dr. Turowski for his masterful work. I highly recommend New Horizons and Dr. Turowski.

Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD, FACS
Response from Dr.Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD, FACSSo glad you are happy. Explant procedure are sometimes very emotional and exploited by the surgeons who present them as procedure that should be performed by "specialist" I am not a specialist in explants but performed hundreds of such surgeries and in a much safer way that "explant surgeons" are advertising and with much less scaring and risk

High Trust & the Best Care for This Procedure

So this was my second procedure at Dr. Turowski‘s office. I am delighted to have been in the company of caring and knowledgeable individuals. As always Dr. Turowski and his team showed exceptional professionalism. Mrs. Bogusia’s medical nuance, exceptional grace and genuine care, along with Nurse Jessic’s support and kindness helped me have a very easy, reassuring experience. Even in the brief moments I interacted with the other professionals at the surgery center upon consultation and shortly after waking from anesthesia, I was so impressed by their compassionate / humorous demeanor. It was undeniable that the entire team was dedicated to providing the best possible care. And I am so grateful for that thank you for blessing me with your gifts and expertise and humanity. It is so easy to regard Dr. Turowski’s office with high trustworthiness. Results from both procedures have given me newfound confidence that remains for life and for that, I am forever indebted. The evidence of Dr Turowski’s skills of a surgeon weren’t only part of the highlights of my experience, he is also a true gentleman. Mrs. Bogusia radiates authenticity and is a genuinely compassionate woman, and Nurse Jessica’s sweetness and ability to facilitate a smooth healing process are greatly appreciated. The procedure itself was at a premium, however that was more than justified by the high level of care and expertise I had. Dr. T, Mrs. Bogusia, and Nurse Jessica obviously have left a lasting impression, and their presence and care is recommended to anyone considering similar procedures. Their upmost class, generosity and patience made all the difference, and I’m glad to support Dr. T’s office feeling that I’ve received more than just a treatment. It’s only been a week after waking up, I’m feeling better and swelling dissipates quickly by the day. Quite happy with the results so far. The pain and healing challenges are temporary, but I am forever touched by how much heart the office has given me.

Life changing lip lift after rhinoplasty made me aware of my 'philtrum space'

18 hours post-op of my Lip Lift and couldn't be more thrilled. I found Dr. Turowski via tremendous research the past year. I will post pictures thru my journey :) 13 months ago, I had a tip rhinoplasty (different doc). That surgery made me acutely aware of my "philatrum space" about 17mm. I would try fillers and Botox lip lifts to correct this, to no avail because the distance was the issue. Fillers likely making it worse. And long-term fillers + age (I've been getting lip filler for 9 years) makes the philatrum drop over time and deflates your natural anatomy. And also migrates! My before pic from yesterday has almost no lip filler. During the appt, we did add 1/2 syringe to the bottom lip to balance out the top. I'm no stranger to the WAIT of swelling.. so because of this, I can absolutely tell what an amazing job Dr. T did. Can't wait for my nose swelling to go down! Also the pain was almost non-existent and I have a low pain tolerance:) Updated on 21 Feb 2024: Day 3/4 were definitely the most swelling and I notice it mildly subsiding finally today! Feels less tight on Day 5. My nose is still tremendously swollen. A bit mentally difficult to go thru the healing process but I know it will pass! Bruising on bottom lip from filler. Still can’t smile, talk normally etc.. but that to be expected. Updated on 25 Feb 2024: Updated on 26 Feb 2024: I can’t believe it’s been 10 days. The recovery has been unpleasant and it’s mentally taxing. Worth it? HECK yeah. My surgeon did glue so this prevented me from moving as much as I would have. LOOK at my non-existent scar. All the horror stories I’ve read.. this is why I chose Dr. T. All I wish is for my nose swelling to go down. I’ve read hundreds of horrific stories. Here is proof of a skilled surgeon. Updated on 16 Aug 2024: Absolutely worth it. Wish I would have taken a bit more off. But my scar is non-existent. Excellent surgeon.

The results of the surgery exceeded my expectations

I would highly recommend Dr. Turowski- The surgical facility was modern, clean, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, reflecting the commitment to excellence that Dr. Turiwski embodies. Throughout the entire process, the staff displayed warmth and attentiveness. The results of the surgery exceeded my expectations. Dr. Turowski not only achieved the desired outcome but also managed to enhance my natural features, leaving me feeling more confident and rejuvenated. The post-operative care was just as exceptional as the surgery itself. The NP Jessica was communicative and showed genuine concern for patients which gave me more comfort. Their dedication to achieving the best results, paired with their patient-centric approach, sets them apart as a true master of their craft. I am incredibly grateful for the life-changing experience they provided and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering plastic surgery!

Facelift, fractional CO2, neck & lip lift results are perfectly natural looking

The results are perfectly natural looking and I objectively can say I look 100% better and a lot more like my younger self after having this combination Facelift, Neck lift, Lip lift, and Fractional CO2. I didn't look bad prior, but with some time off between work, I wanted to rejuvenate. Dr Turowski did wonderful work and I highly recommend him and his surgical team. Everyone was professional and caring, and each took time that morning to talk with me. I was pretty nervous and they were very understanding. The nurse who stayed with me at a nearby hotel that night after the procedure was wonderfully attentive and kind. The first night after the surgery was sleepless for the most part. There were a couple of drains connected along with the bandages, and I was required to have my head elevated, The laser on top of the surgery defintely added to the discomfort. I knew having 4 procedures the same day would be kind of brutal. But this was the best way to get the results I wanted without going through it more than once. I couldn't smile for a couple weeks afterwards, but this loosened up after a about 3 weeks and I have full range of expression. 3 months post-procedure: I still have sensitivity in a few spots - my left ear and jaw, and a bit on my neck. The sensation is hard to explain. Also there is still a suture above my hairline that has a bump that is a bit sensitive, but not visible. There are still tiny bits of sutures under the skin around my nose from the lip lift - they have made their way to the surface a couple times -it looks like a tiny pimple but disappears quickly. And my skin is still a bit pink-ish from the laser. It has been hard to tell if the sensitivity on my skin is from the surgery or the laser, but I suspect both. I have been applying a silicone gel to help prevent a scar around my nose from the lip lift, as well as an incision under my chin from the neck lift. It must be working because even without makeup they are not noticeable! I will add some photos once I have them sorted out.

Brilliant Doctor, Perfect Result

I'm a big fan of Dr. Turowski. As a male seeking cosmetic surgery, I was apprehensive about visiting a plastic surgery clinic due to being self conscious but I finally did it, and I'm so glad. The entire staff made me feel comfortable from the beginning to the end. I had bilateral lower blepharoplasty surgery with Dr. Turowski only a week ago, and already I'm practically fully healed. This is a testament to the great care he took to maximize benefit and minimize trauma. Best of all, I really love me eyes-- they're symmetrical on both sides, and the bags are completely gone. As someone who had under-eye bags and the resulting shadows for as long as I can remember, being able to look into any mirror in any light and see that area smooth and tight is psychologically a relief. It also inadvertently makes my facial contours more defined and harmonious. I'm thrilled with the results! The whole process was very smooth and positive, from consult, through the procedure and followup. I was nervous about being under general anesthesia because I had never undergone surgery prior to this. But his nurse and the anesthesia provider put me at ease. One minute I was on the operating table, and the next minute I was awaking up from surgery with the nurse at my side. There was minimal pain. I work in Healthcare, and I've known a lot of dismissive doctors. I found Dr Turowski to be brilliant and warm. He has made himself available, seeing me right before surgery to answer any questions. He also visited me after surgery while I was still in the operating room. He called to check in on me the evening of the surgery, and communicated the next day also. He just took my stitches out personally yesterday. I'm sure I'll be back again. I would trust Dr. Turowski to do any procedures I seek to have done. Thank you Dr. Turowski.
