Elysa Fisher, MD

I wanted to wait a while before I wrote this review to see how my results were holding up. Dr. Fisher performed Smart Lipo on my neck and flanks. I couldn't be happier with my results. My neck looks beautiful. It makes my face look years YOUNGER! No more back fat spilling over my bra! She also has injected my lips with Belotero to plump my upper lip. They look perfect. Thank you Dr. Fisher!

Wonderful staff, excellent results. I had breast reduction because of back and shoulder pain. Was lucky insurance took care of it. The process was very easy thanks to Hager her office manager. Dr. Fisher is a very capable and talented surgeon. Wonderful bedside manner and was very good at follow up, checking in with me.

I had my saline implants for 5 years and they were way too big for my body. 400 CCs. My doctor thought I would prefer that despite having asked to be a C cup, I ended up a DD, at least, sometimes bigger depending on the bra. I hid myself for 5 years. I finally, thanks to the help of many posts, had them removed this past Thursday. I did it under local. Awake with some Ativan. I did not feel any pain, not even the shots at all!!! My doctor was amazing. It took a very short amount of time to perform. My doctor is Elysa Fisher in wilmette, il. I highly recommend her. This is day 3 and still no pain. Virtually no down time, just taking it easy. I get the drains removed Tuesday, I will post then as to how I look. But I feel great. Immediate relief. So happy to be free and myself again!

After having saline implants over the muscle since I was 19, I finally decided I'm ready to move on to a new chapter in my life. I know God placed it on my heart and was slowly preparing me to get rid of these plastic bags I lugged on my chest, I just never thought the day would come so soon! As an active member of my church, I just felt disingenuous trying to cover up these size D fake boobs all the time and was constantly worrying if someone would notice that I had them. While the church does accept all people and doesn't care what you look like, this was more my own personal battle. My first major was also elementary education and I remember doing student teaching and just feeling like I had to hide them and try to find clothes that would minimize them, in fear of people judging me or thinking I'm a stripper or something. My whole life I've done nothing but try to hide these things and pretend I don't have big boobs- so why even have them?! My parents never knew I got them either, so I was always wearing layers when I'd see them. I had them when I met my husband as well and while he never would come out and say he hates them, I know they just look and feel like plastic bags with all the ripples on the edges. Nothing sexy about that. Actually kind of gross feeling.

So then it just happend one morning- I woke up and noticed one breast was smaller than the other and turns out there was a leak in my saline implant. I was actually kind of excited because I knew now was the time to part with them and start a new life being me again-with nothing to hide. I did lots of research on realself and tried to find a good doctor that was honest and that I could trust. I also didn't want to pay more for removing these than I did to get them put in. That just doesn't make sense to me. A lot of doctors I called really have not done explantation without replacement so that was a big concern for me. I didn't want to be talked into a new pair of implants and I didn't want to be the guinea pig either. So finally I came across a review for Dr. Elysa Fisher that sounded exactly what I was looking for. I wanted local anesthesia and a surgeon that knew what they were doing with lots of experience in case anything went wrong. When I had my consultation with Dr. Fisher I just knew this was the right place and I was in good hands. She took so much time to answer my hundreds of questions and really reassured me and gave me honest answers. She never once pressured me into getting them replaced or any other procedure I didn't want. She gave me a good and honest understanding of how my boobs will look after nursing two babies and having implants for so long so I wouldn't be shocked when I did see my natural breasts again. (I only probably had my real boobs for three years of my life from 16-19yrs old)--so I don't even remember what real breast feel or look like! The office was just so gorgeous and beautiful inside. Everything looked really clean and new, a real relaxing environment. The staff was more than friendly and accommodating. Everyone was so kind and supportive of me. My procedure went awesome! It wasn't painful at all ( just felt weird being awake and being able to see it all but it was kind of cool! And that's what I wanted with local anesthesia anyways). Dr Fisher made my incisions very small and even corrected my previous ones. The whole procedure took maybe an hour altogether. Dr. Fisher even gave me her personal cell number to reach her on in case I had any concerns over the next week. Very comforting to have! It is only a week post op and I barely even notice a scar. I had my capsules left in as she didn't think they needed to be removed. My recovery has been quite easy. I wear a compression band around them for a couple of weeks to make sure there is no fluid building up. I could resume my normal "mom" duties the next day. My breast actually looked a lot better than I expected them too and it feels so good to be free and light and not trying to hide anything! I'm so glad I got them removed and so greatful for dr Fisher and her staff!

I was in need of a breast reduction surgery due to chronic back and neck pain that was impacting my quality of life. The surgery went smoothly and the results are outstanding and life changing. I’m only a few weeks out and my neck and back feel better already. All of my family and friends think I’ve grown because I’m standing straighter than I have in years. I can’t express how thankful I am to Dr. Fisher and her staff. I will continue to be a client of the Elysa Fisher Women’s Lifecenter and will happily refer her.

As I aged I began to notice that a double chin was becoming more and more pronounced. I am extremely happy with the outcome. I am a salesperson and looking young is important. I always wished I had a more defined profile.

I called many doctors in the Chicago area to remove my breast implants with local anesthesia. I had them for 3 years and feared they were the cause of my lymphoma. Dr. Fisher went over all of the risks and took time to explain everything involved. She gave me the option of having the implants removed with local anesthesia or general. Since I was searching for local that's the option that I went with. The procedure was done in her office. That morning I was the only patient there so no worries that she was being pulled from room to room while performing my procedure. I was very comfortable during the removal and didn't feel anything more than tugging. The entire procedure took about an hour from start to finish. I was pretty sore the next few days but healed up quickly. I have a small scar at the fold of each breast which is hardly noticeable some 6 months later. I'm very grateful to Dr. Fisher for considering my concerns about the anesthesia and taking such great care during my visits.

I visited Dr. Fischer’s clinic for a facial Botox injection in 2018. Dr. Fischer stated that she has something even better than Botox and convinced me to have facial fillers with Bellafill instead; she said it’s great and IT WILL BE DISSOLVED WITHIN 5 YEARS. The Bellafill substance formed multiple granulomas (firm masses) which became obviously visible within five years. She BLAMED THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY and said that she did not know about this complication; this is five years after reassuring me that it would dissolve within these five years. She then recommended dissolving the masses with steroid injections. Every time she injected the steroid into my face she announced “Oops! We have another bruise!”. I looked liked I was beaten up with black and blue marks and facial dents. Now, my face is itchy and the firm masses are migrating around my face. When I tried to get my medical records Dr. Fischer become nasty and wanted me “out of her hair”.
