Exceeds Expectations

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.

She performed an extended panniculectomy and breast reduction (was a size 44G) five years ago during the heart of the pandemic, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results both immediately following the procedures as well as now. The shape that was hidden under all that loose skin that she uncovered was very surprising and she did zero lipo. Everything held up even with me gaining 25lbs at one point and losing the weight again!

Dr. Peters is very methodical, type A, and hones in on the details to provide the best possible outcome. Similar to myself; she is direct and to the point with instructions, expectations and guidelines and I love it! I don't like fluff and I think people focus more on bedside manner (positive imo) than results. Never once has she or her staff tried to "up-sell" anything to me. I was fortunate to not have any complications and any questions I had were always addressed immediately by her. Some people never see their surgeon again after the procedure and deal with other office staff for follow ups. I can tell you that's not the case with her. She will poke her head in just to make sure everything is as expected even for a simple drain removal.

With this in mind; I made the decision to continue with my skin removal journey and am just one week post-op from a bra-line (upper back) lift. I can already tell the results are in alignment with the quality and outcome of my previous experiences. She now has a surgical suite in her new building and it made the process so much easier. Location is easy to access from I-294 or I-90/94; with parking right outside the door. The area isn't overly congested where you have to hunt for parking which anyone who lives in Chicago can appreciate!

All of her staff are amazing from the front desk, office and financial manager, and nurses. Quotes/pricing are straightforward and detailed. Nothing feels rushed from initial consultation to post-op visits. I am not an easy person to please and I can confidently tell you that she has left me wanting for nothing. She is the only option for me for any procedures.
