“I Got What I Was Hoping For - Northbrook, IL”

Posted by NikkiO

Dr. Gutowski and his staff were very caring and made me feel safe and comfortable during the whole process. Everything was explained and all our questions were answered. The results after surgery, a Mommy Makeover, were just what I was hoping for.

Xeomin, a New Alterative to Botox Approved by the FDA

In most cases, the stem cells are taken from a person’s own body fat and the platelet rich plasma is created using a small amount of a person’s own blood. It is thought that stem cells and platelet rich plasma may improve healing and reverse aging of tissues. However,...

Stem Cell Treatments in Plastic Surgery are Promising but Marketing is Too Far Ahead of the Science

Since adult stem cells are found in fat (and can be removed for use by liposuction), plastic surgeons have been among those interested in their regenerative potential. While the use of fat derived stem cells for...

Another Study Supports the “No Drain Tummy Tuck”

A recent study of 113 patients confirmed that surgical drains (plastic tubes placed under the skin) are not typically needed after tummy tucks. This allows patients a more comfortable recovery without the limitations caused by drains in the first 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. “I have been performing a No Drain Tummy Tuck for most of my patients for over 5 years.
