So Happy with my Results

I’m so happy with my surgery results, they are better than anything I could have imagined. Dr. Gutowski exceeded everything we discussed and that I hoped for. This is not only about being happy with my appearance but the fact that I feel so much better. For me, my abdominal muscle repair has been life changing. Not only is Dr Gutowski an amazingly skilled surgeon, but he is also a wonderfully kind and caring person. I needed additional care during my recovery, and he went out

Life Changing!!!!

I had an awake arm lift and liposuction back in January of 2026. It has been life changing!! I am ecstatic to wear short sleeved shirts now and show off my arms! Dr. Gutowski and his staff are top notch! Dr. Gutowski even came to my hotel suite the following morning for my follow up. He keeps you feeling secure by always having his cell phone number available to you, as well. I am so happy with my results!!

Very Happy With My Results

I saw Dr. Gutowski for the removal of my breast implants after a failed breast augmentation and revision by another surgeon. Dr. Gutowski was extremely throughout in my consultation and appointments leading up to surgery. He did an amazing job and I am extremely happy with my results!

Breast lift and hip dip fat transfer - Week 2

Got a breast lift and it's day 12 of recovery. I feel sore, but not too bad. I did lipo 360 as well and moved the fat to hip dips. Two moles were removed in the posses. feeling like I can move on my own but still a bit shaky and weak. I can't stand or sit too long. Every day gets better and better

Such natural looking results - could not be happier

From the initial consultation process, to surgery, to recovery, to follow ups, and minor revisions based on my specific preference, Dr. Gutowski was second to none with my tummy tuck and fat transfer to breast procedures. After nine, yes, nine, consultations with the top named surgeons in the downtown Chicago and suburban area, over a year timespan, Dr. Gutowski was my final choice. I was ultimately led to him by another renowned Northwestern plastic surgeon who did not perform

Great doctor and results - I would recommend him to anyone

Dr G and his staff are fantastic. I wish I had before pictures but I was too embarrassed to take them, but my results have been fantastic. I had awake lipo from Dr G on my abdomen, flanks, and inner thighs. I am 5’4” and when I started the procedure probably weighed around 140 (already had lost 20 lbs). I had the dreaded “bulge” in these areas- Lower tummy and upper inner thighs. We did all of this at once, while awake. I had Tylenol and .5 Xanax during procedure. Had to get

Great Surgeon

I’ve had two surgeries with Dr Gutowski as a lipedema patient. I live in KS but drove to his office in Glenview specifically to work with him. He is wonderful surgeon who took the time to listen to my concerns and addressed them accordingly. For my first surgery he even came to my hotel room for a follow up visit so I wouldn’t have to take an Uber to go to his office. I can’t recommend him enough.

Excellent Plastic Surgeon

Dr Karol Gutowski is a wonderful plastic surgeon and a very caring and compassionate doctor. I originally found him years ago after having plastic surgery in another country and the doctor there wanted me to follow up with a doctor when I returned to the USA. My internist tried to refer me to plastic surgeons he knew to no avail. One doctor refused to see me because he did not perform the original procedure and one had an opening weeks too far away. 2 others told me on the phone

I am more comfortable in my body, more active, and happier with my life in general

It was worth the wait to have my "body renovated" by board-certified Dr Karol Gutowkski. I have had three life-changing surgeries with him starting in June 2022 and finishing in February 2024. His attention to detail is phenomenal and his bedside manner, care, and concern for his patients is world-class. Everyone on his staff from Ellen on is very easy to work with. His pricing for cosmetic aspects is very fair. I am more comfortable in my body, more active, and happier with

Scar is healing beautifully and had no complications or significant pain afterwards

Had a drainless extended TT and couldn’t be happier! Even my lymphatic massage therapist said it’s the best she’s seen (and she’s been doing post op care for years!) Scar is healing beautifully and had no complications or significant pain afterwards.
