AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
A Mommy Makeover means different things to different moms. Whether a woman is concerned with her breasts, tummy, back, thighs, or a combination of these areas, I work with my patients to find the right combination of procedures to help her feel better about her shape and restore her pre-baby body (sometimes we're even able to improve upon that pre-baby shape)! I strive to make women feel comfortable discussing these areas about which they may be quite self-conscious and love when patients return after surgery projecting confidence!

Breast Surgery
••
As a woman, I understand that feeling comfortable with your breast size, shape, and proportions is important. Making the decision to proceed with breast augmentation surgery is exciting but can also be overwhelming, as there are many choices to make (saline or silicone, round or shaped, volume, projection, type of silicone, scar location, and need for a lift, etc.). One of the most important aspects of my job with breast augmentation patients is the planning. I listen to my patient's goals, take extensive measurements, and spend a lot of time educating each woman on these decisions to help her make the choices that are right for her. Having a good plan is essential to achieving the results that she loves. Unlike many offices, this planning is done by me with my patient, rather than a nurse or other staff member. With this approach, I'm comfortable that my patient is well-prepared for surgery and hope that she's more excited than nervous on the day of her surgery!

Abdominoplasty
••
A tummy tuck is an operation that is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and, at the same time, tighten the abdominal muscles.
The surgery is particularly helpful for men and women who, through episodes of weight gain and loss or pregnancy, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin.
A tummy tuck can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen and can narrow the waistline.

I lost over 200lbs and did a lot of research prior to making the decision on who to leverage for skin removal. This was due to a few things I think important to note here; having darker skin (African-American), elasticity concerns I had from being overweight for so long, scar technique, wanting a realistic appearance that had a natural look versus overly enhanced, and wanting a surgeon with good outcomes that I could research independently.

Once again Dr Peters hasdone a great job with my tummy tuck with muscle repair. I'm not going to lie, that first three to four days was hell! Overall I'm extremely happy with my results so far even though most days I'm in swell hell but that's okay because I know at the end it's all going to be worth it.
For the most part, my breast reduction with FNG experience from consult to post op was great. The only thing I don't like are the "dog ears" left behind on my back bra strap. Hopefully they'll be removed soon.
Over the last 5 years, I gained some weight, in which I believe about 75% of it went straight to my breast. In 2019, I started considering a breast reduction and I joined RealSelf. Last year in March is when I got serious about it and decided to start my paper trail of back complaints and digging straps in my shoulders with my primary care physician. My bra size was a 38F.My physician finally gave me a referral to see a PS, but... due to COVID, I needed a letter of medical necessity

After researching for a Plastic Surgeon for a Mommy Makeover (Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, and Breast Augmentation), I came across Dr. Lisa J. Peters on Real Self as well as a couple of Chicago-based “plastic surgery” Facebook groups, where people discussed doctors and different procedures. Upon visiting Dr. Peters’ website and Real Self profile, I found that, as a board-certified plastic surgeon, she does excellent work. She also has a diverse client list as well as before and after

Drains still in, draining apx 30cc a day from each. Pain was the worst day 1-3. Was told not to remove bandages or binder until first followup appointment. Hopefully they will remove drains then. This is definitely a journey. I cant stand completely upright
...read moreI was impressed by the photos of the results from Dr. Peters' breast reduction patients, so I scheduled a consultation with her as well as two other doctors. I can't know for certain my results would have been different with another doctor, but based off my experience I would feel confident recommending her to anyone looking for good results and peace of mind throughout the process!
I had large breasts which sagged due to weight loss and increased my back pain. Dr. Peters did
...read moreMy experience was simply Amazing!!!!! Dr. Peters and her staff was so accommodating and great to work with. From the very beginning at my consultation up to the day of the procedure was mind blowing experience. When I look at the before and after pictures I still can't believe the remarkable work Dr. Peters did. I just can't stop looking at how beautiful the work Dr. Peters did. I feel like I have somewhat of my hour shape body back!!! I highly recommend Dr. Peters because she's

I have fibromyalgia and it did cause my recovery to be more painful than average but I would do it all over again.
