Procedures I'm known for
Hip & Butt Enhancement
My approach to Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery involves performing high-volume 360 liposuction on the midsection and carefully injecting fat to shape the butt and create dramatic results—in a safe manner. I believe the reason I have a high patient satisfaction rate is that there’s no cookie-cutter BBL result. I always dive in-depth during the consult to get a feel for exactly what kind of butt each patient wants. Do they want a more sloped and natural silhouette, or more of a round butt with a “shelf” on top? Heart-shaped or upside-down heart shape? Wide hips or a more athletic look? About 30-50% of the fat will reabsorb, so it’s important to keep that in mind when deciding if you want a “medium” or “large” augmentation. The bottom line: I always work really hard in the operating room to ensure the best results for my patients and will always continue to stay up on the latest techniques to keep giving reliable, enduring, safe, and fantastic results they want to show off.
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
Mommy makeovers are one of the most popular surgeries at my Chicago practice. This usually involves a breast procedure combined with a body procedure, to restore your pre-pregnancy appearance. The classic combination is breast augmentation with or without a breast lift, to raise saggy breasts or restore lost fullness, and a tummy tuck.
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat, while tightening overstretched abdominal muscles. It results in an impressive improvement in the abdomen and waist and usually requires at least two weeks of recovery before you’re back to a desk job.
Surgeons are often taught that if you have the slightest amount of excess skin, you should do a tummy tuck. But in many cases, I can give patients a great result with liposuction alone. I’m very comfortable doing high-volume liposuction, and I stay up on all the techniques like SAFELipo and use technology like VASER liposuction and Renuvion skin tightening to minimize the need for tummy tuck surgery.

RealSelf Q&A with Dr. Ramsen Azizi
RS: What makes your practice unique?
RA: In addition to delivering an excellent level of surgery and results, it’s the hands-on care and support we provide, preoperatively and postoperatively.
I love people, and I’m able to put patients at ease and connect with them quickly. They’re here to talk about something very sensitive that they’ve thought about for a long time, so the environment has to be warm and personal.
RS: What’s a consultation with you like?
RA: I set aside at least 45 minutes for both virtual and in-person consults, so I can dive deep into the patient’s goals and what they’re looking for. I always tell patients, “You’re not buying coffee and donuts. You’re buying surgery, which is a big deal, so we need to talk about everything.”
I’m very upfront about realistic expectations, and I don’t sugarcoat things like pain, soreness, and swelling. Post-operatively, there shouldn’t be many surprises that crop up —my patients know what to expect.
RS: How would you describe your approach to plastic surgery?
RA: It starts with patient goals, and we work backward from there. Sometimes they need a little help, sometimes more, and sometimes it’s not completely possible. An important, though difficult, part of my job is also to tell patients when they don’t need surgery.
Once we’ve talked in detail about how to attain their goals, I use every technique and technology possible to deliver for them. I shoot for perfection and, hopefully, land on awesome.
RS: What inspired you to be a plastic surgeon?
RA: My dad is a surgeon. Once I saw him in action, I was like, “This is awesome! I’ve got to do surgery!” I did a lot of different surgical rotations in medical school to figure out what kind I wanted to do.
I’m really into music—I’ve played piano, guitar, and drums, and I’ve written and produced electronic music since I was 14. The out-of-the-box thinking plastic surgery requires felt very creatively similar to the music production I’d been doing for so long.
Plastic surgery isn’t always life-saving, but it IS life-changing. I love what I do. Most days, I can’t believe I get paid to do this.
