Carlos Farias, MD

I'm so nervous!! And excited... I'm having laser liposuction to my arms, abdomen & waist tomorrow (Round 2) i originally had a BBL 4 years ago so this is basically a little touch up..plus i feel my arms got huge due to the fat not having anywhere else to go i guess, I'm really nervous to be put to sleep again & really hoping for a good outcome. Dr Faris was amazing during my consultation.. i had another appointment set for tomorrow actually with another doctor but when i met with Dr Faris i cancelled my consultation immediately with the other doctor lol because he was just that good!! He had his way of making me feel completely comfortable and trust him, he was so nice and explained everything thoroughly! He even did a PowerPoint presentations. I only gave 3 stars because i haven't seen my results yet nor experienced the after care which is when things usually get interesting.. the only thing that was not favorable in my opinion is the fact that you do your own ultrasonic massages in a room post op... it's nice that they offer it but is honestly useless without an actual person because I'm sure i won't be up for massaging myself & i don't know anyone who will come with me to do it for me so I've already paid for my post op massages at an Chicago spa & i would advise anybody coming here to do so also because using the ultrasound on yourself just sounds painful! Anyway i am excited & I've been told that i already look good so i should come out BOMB!! Is what I'm hoping for lol i also hope he can get rid of the loose skin above my belly button that is a huge factor & i would literally cry if he fixed it. Updated on 16 Aug 2019: Sooooo i am literally 24 hours after surgery & i just took a pain pill so I’m feeling a little loopy typing this but I’ll try my best.. First i would like to say that Dr.Faris & his team are AMAZING!!! they were all so nice & attentive! I was freaking out moments before my surgery my blood pressure was literally 100/100 lol but it came down of course but i was so nervous..although this is my third surgery i was kind of nervous because this is my first surgery in Chicago..both of my others were in Miami “surgery land” lol but Dr.Faris was so nice & seemed like he really cared which made me feel that much better.. so soon as i arrived i filled out a few consents & went straight back to change, take some pills & talk to the doctor everything went fairly quickly and i didn’t wait no more than about 5min the entire time. Dr. Faris came & marked me up and i went into the room to get cleaned off & ready for surgery.. dr, Faris was so sweet he complimented my body & told me i was completely too hard on myself because my body was already banging lol but he assured me that i would look even better.. after the white liquid went into my arm i feel asleep & didn’t remember a thing. I woke up in my garment & lipo foam already on. My arms already look fabulous as i can see although of course you can’t shower for 48 hours so I’m laying down in bed right now.. pain level has been round a 6 depending on if i took my pain medication or not the worst pain is trying to get out of bed!!! Especially if i haven’t had my pain meds.. omg that is a 10! On the pain scale i haven’t looked at my stomach yet & I’m so nervous to do so but i will tomorrow once i can shower.. also i anxiously called the doctor this morning just to find out how many CC’s were taken out & to get some info about how the surgery went because i was so high after surgery i don’t remember seeing him but my best friend talked to him right after & told her i had so much scar tissue... he did call me right back when i called this morning which was impressive that he actually called me back & i didn’t have to stalk him because he “already got my money” such a great doctor! I would recommend him for sure! Well i guess once i see my final results ill make that call lol but on the customer service scale him& his staff is definitely 10/10 as i said my arms look great but i haven’t seen my stomach which I’ll update you guys tomorrow. I think i will start my massages next week also Updated on 17 Aug 2019: So I’m lying in bed feeling like crap constantly sleepy because of the pain medication.. I’m also dreading taking my garment off today for a shower..when the door bell rings & guess who it was!? Flowers from Dr. Faris & team i almost cried it literally made me feel so much better & surprisingly gave me energy i was able to walk with my 4 year old while he ride his bike for 10min.. I’ve had 2 different surgeries & never got flowers b4 lol i told you this doctor is awesome!!! And they smell beautiful

Recomendado súper recomendado es un excelente doctor y muy amable y el personal también, todos súper amables , doctor Farias gracias por el cambio q hizo en mi vida quedé estoy feliz después de este grande cambio

Dr.Farias and his staff are amazing. He is very very knowledgeable and makes you feel so comfortable. I had a bbl done with him and I absolutely love my results. He takes the time to explain all your concerns and has so much patience. Starting from my first appointment to the day of the surgery everything went smooth. I was so nervous and Dr.Farias and his staff made me feel better and made my process so smoth. After the surgery I had so many questions and concerns and Dr farias was so responsive and reaponded to my phone calls /texts right away. He made my recovery so much easier. I highly recommend Dr. Farias hundred percent.

After years of watching my neck get more and more crepey and spending hundreds of dollars on various creams that never made a difference I decided to finally get it fixed. When I first visited the office for my free consultation I was greeted with a very friendly staff. The doctor that met with me, Dr. Carlos L. Farias, was very informative and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and explained to me in detail the procedure he would perform and what I could expect. The procedure went very well with very little downtime. Dr. Farias was always on-call if needed. I am extremely happy with my results, my neck is better than I ever expected. I would definitely recommend Inside Look and their entire staff and especially Dr. Farias. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!

My motivation was myself I was tired of the stubborn belly fat around my midsection. I love my results I feel like a new women. I was very nervous about getting the procedure done. I had very little down time! I was back at work within the first week. The aftercare medication was very good it helped me manage the slight pain

I was tired of wearing elastic banded clothing to camouflage that I had 'no waistline' but actually a kangaroo pooch. Spanx offered no remedy, I decided to do something about it and went for a consultation and the before pictures convinced me. I have no regrets the staff and Dr Farias are the epitome of professionalism.

I have to say I was a nervous reck, but Dr.Farias made me feel so comfortable, so attentive to my needs or any pain I may have experienced. Very little at that. I wanted this or so long, heard about sonobello and I am excited to say I made the right and safest choice with laser-lipo. Thank you so much Dr.Farias!

After searching and searching for a PS I went to insidelookmd for a consult with Dr. Paresi and I knew he was the one to make me over. He and his staff are wonderful. Its only been two weeks since my procedure and the look of my body has already made a significant change. Can't wait until all the swelling is completely gone. Glad I choose insidelookmd to make me over.

I'm really just hoping to eliminate my problem areas so I can finally compete next year in my first bodybuilding competition. I eat very healthy and lift 5-6x a week but seem to have impossibly stubborn fat since its been there since I was a child. Always a chunky kid I lost 50lbs on my own but having issues with these last few areas. Updated on 9 Aug 2015: This is my first time having a surgery of any kind, I am honestly not afraid, but extremely excited. I have worked really hard to lose close to 50lbs only to hit this impossible plateau and still not have a nice feminine shape. I know I am not fat, and I know this is not a weight loss method but just want to get rid of the unsightly flank fat that hides my round bottom making it look square. Along with the flank fat I have trouble with stubborn lower abdominal and my bra pad area. Fingers Crossed Updated on 11 Aug 2015: Well I arrived 20minutes late due to an accident but they were very understanding and forgiving. I checked in made my "down payment" seend as I am using a loan for the rest through carecredit. I took my urine analysis and got changed into my garmets. Thegirls took my photos and weight. There was a bit of waiting through all of this but I'm a patient woman. Then my surgeon came in and marked me up. Due to my amount of tattoos I may not show to many photos of my body but will block them out for before during and after 6wks. So far I am extremely pleased. They were all so very kind, I got to listen to my Pandora on my phone and take a few pictures. When he hit some tender spots under armpit the assistant held my hand and rubbed my hair it really helped me stay calm and relaxed. Out of all three areas I had done the upper back bra pad area was the uncomfortable area, but staying within limits on anesthesia they took care of me. I am draining ALOT already been through 2 pants and 3 shirts but better out then in! Any questions please ask I'm an open book Updated on 13 Aug 2015: Worked 9-4pm standing all day. It was kinda rough but I made it on only 6 Tylenol. Def have alot more bruising after today and I'm very sore so I'm going to take an Oxy and sleep now. Updated on 13 Aug 2015: Very swollen and bruised but can't def see a difference already. Very excited to watch swelling subside. Updated on 16 Aug 2015: I went back to work on the 2nd day and worked 3 days in a row for 8hrs and although I cannot bend over and I walk slowly It's definitely doable. Bruising is more prominent on my right side and has settled in my thighs and bikini area. My back feels like it could use a massage but doesn't hurt too much. I was told no icing so to sooth my thighs (garmet seems tight around thighs) I soak wash clothes in cold water and tuck them in while laying down. Updated on 9 Jan 2016: Updated on 10 Jan 2016: I can't stress enough how important I think your compression garment is to the outcome of your shape I wore mine to bed for 6 weeks and I still to this day wear a waist trainer when I'm at home relaxing your body is healing and you have the opportunity to help shape it by keeping it compressed in the shape that you wish to have assuming you like the hourglass waist like I do :) this procedure changed my life and my wardrobe shopping is so much fun for the first time in my life and I own more dresses now than I know what to do with Updated on 10 Jan 2016: Updated on 10 Jan 2016:

My experience was fantastic. I had gastric bypass surgery 6+ years ago and felt that I had more pronounced jowls than I should have had at my age. I had been interested in the procedure several years ago and decided to take the plunge. I'm thrilled with the results and feel they have exceeded expectations.Updated on 15 Aug 2012:Today I go for my final follow-up appointment. I can't wait to see the before and after pictures. I'm so happy with the natural looking results I see. Overall, this has been a simply great experience.
