“Tummy Tuck Was a Success”

Worth It
Spent: $8,500 in Arlington Heights, Illinois

Dr. P is an absolutely exceptional surgeon. He is understanding, compassionate, attentive, brilliant, honest, and above all, has earned the respect and confidence of his peers, staff and patients. His entire staff is wonderful.

My ratings and comments are a result of being a current patient. I was referred to him by one of my doctors and I researched everything I could about him. I literally carried his number with me for 2 years before I made the initial appointment. Once I had my preliminary consultation I was convinced that I had the made the right decision.

One surgery later, he didn't prove me wrong - HE IS THE BEST. Not only is he an artist, but the most kindhearted doctor I have met. Any surgery is a risk, however, plastic surgery is elective. So we elect to put ourselves in the best hands possible. I strongly urge anyone that is interested or just thinking about cosmetic surgery - contact my Dr. - you will be thankful you did.

I am glad you had great success. I am thinking of having a tt and have already made an appt for an initial consultation with a doctor in Oak Brook. I was told that it might be too soon for me since I had my son 6 months ago, but I am still going to go and see what they say. Did you just have a tt or did you have additional work done? What was the cost for your tt? I know it varies according to how much they have to remove or something like that, but just getting a general idea. I see from the different posts that it also varies by the area you have it done in. Can you give me your doctor's name so if I choose to have it, I can be as happy and satisfied as you are.

Dear Chicago Mom: It's probably much too soon for a TT following your son's birth. Most doctors would recommend you wait until you have had all your kids before considering this surgery. After all, you don't want to go thru this procedure and get pregnant again and all stretched out, the surgery would have been for nothing. I searched far and wide for 2 years for the best doctor. His name is: Otto J. Placik, MD Associated Plastic Surgeons Arlington Heights, IL 847-398-1660 I just had the TT this time. In a few months I am having a breast reduction, then one more surgery after that. The cost will be determined at your consultation depending on how extensive of a TT it needs to be. I felt the cost to be extremely reasonable and he's worth every dime. I don't know where you live, but he's well worth the drive. I have recommended numerous people to him for various surgeries.

Dear Candance, Glad you had a such a postive outcome from your TT! I am considering having one in Dec or Jan. Can you tell me approx total costs; was the price way out of line with hospital, etc. charges. I've heard good things about Dr. P, & would love to have him as my surgeon. I need a BL also!!! small world. LB
