Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
Kids are awesome, but pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave the body looking and feeling less than youthful. Once you’re back to your pre-pregnancy weight (and have completed your family), it may be time to do something for yourself. Typically, a mommy makeover includes a breast enhancement (usually breast augmentation to restore volume and/or a breast lift to reverse sagging), along with a tummy tuck to address stretched-out skin and stubborn fat, as well as to repair abdominal muscles. The surgery is performed in a single session, to shorten your recovery and return you to your pre-pregnancy contours quickly. Each person has unique desires and needs, so your mommy makeover may also include a breast reduction, liposuction to remove isolated pockets of fat, and vaginal rejuvenation for cosmetic and functional reasons. In my Chicago practice, nonsurgical procedures—such as CoolSculpting, which freezes away unwanted fat—are also available to help you feel more comfortable in your body.

Breast Surgery
••
Breast augmentation with implants or fat transfer is the most popular breast enhancement surgery I perform, but it’s just one option I offer in my Chicago practice, to help patients achieve natural results that meet their individual goals. Breast lifts can make sagging breasts perkier, and I often combine breast augmentation with a lift, to both raise the breasts and add volume. I often perform breast surgeries as part of a mommy makeover, a combination of procedures that helps women regain their pre-pregnancy contours. For women with large, heavy breasts, breast reduction surgery can be a literal relief to the multitude of challenges they can cause. Men can also struggle with excessive breast tissue, and I frequently tackle “man boobs” with gynecomastia surgery. I also provide several types of breast reconstruction. My goal is always to create a natural, symmetrical, beautiful look.

Abdominoplasty
••
I frequently perform tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) for patients who have been left with excess skin, stubborn fat, and lax abdominal muscles after pregnancy or significant weight loss. I offer two types of tummy tucks at my Chicago-area practice: a full abdominoplasty, which contours the entire abdomen, and a mini tummy tuck, which focuses on the area below the belly button. The specifics of your procedure will depend on your individual needs and goals, but it will likely involve removing excess skin and fat, tightening and repairing the abdominal muscles and connective tissue, and creating a new belly button. I usually perform liposuction, to ensure that the entire abdominal area looks slimmer, firmer, and more toned. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your unique situation and align on the ideal tummy tuck plan for you.

Exceptional
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Dr Iteld and the entire team at. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he is not only a top surgeon, but also someone with a truly authentic and comforting bedside manner. His attention to detail is unmatched, and his expertise in his technique gave me complete confidence every step of the way. What made this journey even more exceptional was the remarkable team supporting him. Linda was my rock through the entire process—by my side every step of the way with warmth, reassurance, and unwavering support. Carrol helped guide me both before and after surgery, making sure I always knew what to expect and felt fully prepared. And Kimmy, the fantastic nurse brought exceptional skill, compassion, and care to every interaction. Together, they prepared me, educated me, and made sure I felt completely comfortable from beginning to end. Their care, compassion, and professionalism made all the difference. I highly recommend Dr Iteld and his incredible team to anyone seeking the absolute best. I will continue to trust them with all of my care in the future.
Highly Recommended
Dr. Iteld and his team are truly exceptional. Their compassionate and empathetic approach creates a comforting environment. I'm consistently impressed by their professionalism and clear communication. Dr. Iteld's elegant demeanor and attentiveness truly set him apart. He and his team embody the highest standards of patient care, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! I’ve referred people to him, and they have all been equally satisfied.
Amazing Care, Phenomenal Results
Being a patient with Dr. Iteld has been such an amazing experience. Everyone in the office is so helpful and dedicated to providing thorough care in every point of the process. I am extremely happy with the results from Dr. Iteld, his work has greatly exceeded my expectations!
Wonderful Experience from Start to Finish! Definitely Reccomend!
I got top surgery (ftm) by Dr. Iteld and I can’t recommend him enough! The whole team was communicative, supportive, knowledgeable, and lovely throughout all parts of the process. Dr. Iteld is a wonderful surgeon and I felt in good hands the whole way through. While still early in recovery, I am so happy with the results and this has truly been a life changing experience thanks to Dr. Iteld.
Don’t Wait Any Longer! It’s Time!
I had a breast reduction with Dr. Iteld in June 2025, and I truly could not be happier with the entire experience. I had consultations with several plastic surgeons in the Chicago area, but Dr. Iteld stood out immediately. He took the time to listen, gave honest feedback, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. His entire team is professional, warm, and incredibly organized. Pre-op, they provided both verbal and written instructions that were clear and easy to follow. I had a lot of questions (and some nerves), but they answered everything thoroughly and kindly. I always felt like I was in good hands. The surgery itself went smoothly and, surprisingly, the recovery was much easier than I expected. I experienced practically no pain (with no opioids), just as they said. The follow-up care was excellent, and I felt supported the entire time. Dr. Iteld is truly a skilled surgeon, and the results are even better than I imagined. Everything looks natural, balanced, and beautiful! I also want to mention that the cost was very competitive, especially considering the level of care and attention I received. If you’re thinking about a breast reduction, I cannot recommend Dr. Iteld and his staff highly enough. I’m so grateful I chose him.
