I had been waiting to get my tummy tuck for years. I was thrilled with the results immediately. But I knew it looked really great when I went to my OB/GYN for my yearly check up and she told me it was the best tummy tuck she had ever seen - and she's seen a lot! Additionally, Dr. Platis and his staff are so kind and thoughtful. They make you feel like family and not just another patient.
I had breast augmentation with Dr. Platis and my experience has been wonderful. I cannot say enough praises for the entire staff. Dr. Platis and Kate always treat you like family. I have referred my mom, sister and best friend along with many others throughout the years, all having the exact same satisfaction.

I had my implants done a few years back and was truly never happy with them or the doctor. after some hunting I came across Dr Platis. From the moment we first spoke I knew he was my perfect fit for my explant! He reassured me from our first phone call all the way to surgery day. I am 1 week post op and I am so incredibly happy with my results. Dr. Platis and Kate check on me regularly and make me feel so comfortable and heard. I would give them 100 stars if I could.

After 14 years I have decided to have my implants removed. I chose Dr. Platis 14 years ago to put them in because of his expertise, professionalism and bedside manner. Dr. Platis was the first person I reached out to for my explant because I trust him. I was so nervous the day of my explant, my husband said to me "Baby, you know Dr. Platis will never let anything happen to you. You are in good hands." Kate and Dr. Platis, thank you for taking such good care of me. Both my husband and I are grateful for both.

I went to see Dr. Platis for a breast lift and augmentation. I couldn't be more happy with my results and it's only been a week. The whole staff was kind and Dr. Platis was very educating on the whole procedure. I recommend seeing him! He is one of the best!

I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and customer service I have received from the Doctor and whole staff. It's only day 4 post op and I am already excited by my results. they have called and checked in on me daily. I was referred here by a close friend and I would refer others as well. Thank you Dr. Platis and staff for making this such a great experience for me! Looking forward to seeing my final results when I am completely healed!

Dr. Platis is a wonderful doctor. He was able to talk walk me through my rhinoplasty and septoplasy. He answered all questions I had about the procedure. He called reach day for the first few days to make sure I was doing well. Very warm and professional staff.

Dr. Platis was recommended to me by my doctor where I get my Botox and fillers here in Chicago. I've always wanted a rhinoplasty (nose job) but was hesitant because it's my face and it's hard to cover up a nose (my thoughts pre COVID) But still relevant after we are on the other side of this pandemic. Dr. Platis made me feel confident and comfortable about the entire procedure.

He spoke to me a couple weeks before surgery to answer my questions and calm my nerves. Also, he encouraged me to call/text his cell phone should I have additional questions. The day of the surgery I was nervous but mostly excited. The support staff at the surgical center was beyond professional and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Platis checked in with me prior to surgery and, of course, after.

I could not be more happy with the results. I still look like myself, with just a minor, positive "tweak". As for any pain? The rapid COVID test required before my procedure was more painful than the rhinoplasty. I would describe it as uncomfortable, like a very bad head cold. Anyone considering this procedure should absolutely go to Dr. Platis. He and Kate will be with you your entire journey.

I had a tummy tuck and liposuction in June 2019 and it was the best decision I've ever made! My results actually far exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy with my results. I went from a size 12/14 to a size 6/8. Aside from Dr. Platis's excellent reviews, one of the other reasons I chose him for my surgery was that I wouldn't need drains after surgery. My recovery went better than I thought as well. I can't say enough about Dr. Platis and his wonderful staff. Best decision ever!

I first went to Dr. Platis about 15 years ago and had great results with my breast surgery, I just returned to have a tummy tuck and lipo and the results are amazing. I did not think I would look this great! I have also had under eye fillers and I love the way I look. I love Dr. Platis and his staff!

Mr. Platis performed botox on lines near my eyes. I guess he was personable. The lines disappeared, but they were replaced with my eyes becoming cross-eyed! I saw double lanes driving down the busy street. He failed to tell me the side effects (major ) that could be caused by this treatment, even if they might not have been the most common. He did not seem to take any responsibility for this incident. It could have been v. costly personally/phy. and it cost financially to see a dr./glasses to fix it.lasted 2 wks. Botox def. caused this prob. For temp. cover-up beauty?!

Dr. Platis is the best surgeon! I have my first surgery in 2009 and my second one in March 2016. I absolutely love the results!

I have been doing a series of microneedling treatments with Jen for the last 9 months and am thrilled with the results. I am 41 and have been trying to stimulate collagen growth around my lower jaw. Since beginning these treatments, I have noticed that my skin has tightened and my face, overall, looks more youthful. If I compare year over year pictures, there is a difference. If you are looking for a non-invasive procedure that is relatively inexpensive, this is the way to go!

Dr. Platis and his staff are amazing! I recently had a breast augmentation and lift with amazing results. I have also received botox and he is just amazing. I have had botox from another physician before and Dr. Platis was so much better. If you are nervous and need some one to really talk to you about the procedure Dr. Platis and his staff are ideal. His results are perfect. I would never think of going anywhere else.

I have nothing but good things to say about this practice. You feel safe here. Not often is the doctor himself so accessible, but Dr. Platis is both talented and personable. I couldn't be happier with my results and with rest of the team, Kate, Whitney, and Jennifer. I just had my first rejuvapen treatment and the results are amazing! Everything Jen told me was true.a bit uncomfortable during the process and red like a bad sunburn.but the next morning the redness was all gone and by the third morning my skin had a whole new texture. I'm just putting my face in their hands!

Jennifer N. at Dr Platis's office has been my go-to for all my skin treatment needs. I completely trust her and rely on her expertise with each visit. When I first met with her, I had very sun damaged skin, including some issues with acne. With her guided recommendations and consistent treatments, I am loving the results. I've done a serious of chemical peels and microderms. Jen is honest, straight forward, efficient and totally trust worthy. All priceless qualities when selecting someone to assist with facial therapy.

I have had two surgeries with Dr. Platis and the overall experience was great both times. Dr. Platis provides transparent consultations that focus on honest results and set real expectations. I love the staff at CosMedic and I feel like family when I walk in the office. I have referred Dr. Platis to several of my girlfriends and all have had comparable results/experiences as my own.

Dr Platis came recommended to me by a friend for breast augmentation surgery. How lucky am I that she referred me to him. From my initial visit to post op Dr Platis and his team were amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and available after hours to answer any post op questions. His surgery team at the facility were also amazing and I felt very comfortable the entire time with everything that was happening.

The surgery itself could not have gone any better. I had zero bruising, and minimal discomfort. I was able to switch to Tylenol only to manage my pain within 2 days after surgery. This is a testament to just how careful and gentle Dr Platis is with his patients while operating. I am super happy with my results and will go to Dr. Platis again for any future surgeries or procedures.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Platis for a breast augmentation in early April '14 and right away he made me feel very comfortable and he was very informative about the procedure including any risks invovled. I was very concerned about the size of the implant that I wanted to go with as I am 5"7" and about 115 pounds. I wanted to still look as natural as possible for my thin frame.

I ended up coming in two more times before my procedure to dicuss the implant size and the staff as well as Dr. Platis were more than accomodating and understanding regarding my concerns. My surgery was in early May '14 and ultimately we decided we would go with implants around 250 cc's. I felt very comfrotable leaving the final decision up to Dr. Platis.

He ended up going with a silicone implant of 285 cc's for both breasts and I could not be happier. The implants were placed under the muscle and the incision was under the breast. I truly feel they are perfect for my size and shape. He really did a fantastic job. I went from a full A cup to a full C cup and I have never felt more comfrotable with my body.

As for the surgery, I was expecting to be quite uncomfortable afterwards. However on a scale of 1 to 10 I would say I wasn't even at a 5. My surgery was on a Wednesday and I was back to work by Monday. I am just over 2 months post-surgery now and the scars under my breast are already faded quite significantly. If you are considering a breast augmentation I highly reccomend making a consultation appointment with Dr. Platis!

I first met Dr. Platis in 2008, after seeing his advertisement in a local NW Indiana medical magazine. He was being endorsed by none other than Dr. Phil, saying he was the leading surgeon in the Chicago area. We lived in NW Indiana so his Merrillville office was convenient for me. Made my appointment and was totally impressed with him. My first surgery was breast reduction and full tummy tuck.

At age 55, my friends told me he created a masterpiece; that I had the body of an 18 year old. It was extensive surgery, but the recovery went very well. Dr. Platis truly is a contour specialist. Fast forward to January, 2013, We have now retired in Florida, I'm 60 and my breasts had grown again! I've had multiple injuries to my neck and shoulder with surgeries involved and really needed to do a reduction again.

I met with a local surgeon but didn't have the level of confidence with him that I had with Dr. Platis. My husband was totally supportive with me having the surgery with Dr. Platis in Indiana again. Within two weeks of definitely making the decision, I had the breast reduction surgery again. I am six days out now from surgery, and again, the doctor is just phenomenal with his talent.

I don't care where you live, see Dr. Platis first. It really can be easy traveling to Chicago to see him, have surgery and go home. His patient coordinator, Kate, is exceptional in helping with whatever your needs are to get there and make your surgery happen! They are quite a team!

I have heard of CosMedic from a good friend whose gorgeous, glowing complexion I envied. I made an appointment with Kara and have been a loyal client for months. I have oily skin that's prone to breakouts and redness. I also have some sun damage from my time living in sunny Florida. From the very first consultation, Kara took her time to analyze my skin and recommend a skincare routine that fit my needs.

I get regular Microdermabrasions and Chemical Peels from Kara and my skin never looked better. I have never met a more maticulous aesthetician in my life. Every time I see Kara, it's like a day at a spa (even though it's only an hour). She is a true professional and I will never go to anyone else.

This is my first time posting info online but I have to pass on this great information! I received a filler and Botox and I have never been happier! Sandra was the injector and what great technique she used, I have been doing this for years and she is the best! The staff was very friendly and professional, the office was a little hidden between to store fronts and I parked at the 100 Walton building which was easy access. So if your a new to these processors run to Sandra you wont be sorry!

LOVE Dr. Platis. He did such a great job on my breast augmentation. I was (and still am) pleased with the results, and I'm surprised that they actually feel real! Which was something I was worried about prior to the surgery. I read his reviews on different websites and did my research before scheduling a consultation and you should do the same if you are considering a procedure. Very nice and informative. Go for a consultation and see for yourself.

Dr. Platis is very kind and caring and will recommend procedures that result in the most natural look. I have been a patient for over 10 years and have had laser skin resurfacing and facial fat grafting plus Botox and Restalyne injections. Dr. Platis keeps me looking vibrant and more youthful than my 63 years; I wouldn't trust my face to anyone else.

Cosmedic received rave reviews from everyone at my hair salon so I decided to take the plunge and try out the miracle poison that would hopefully eradicate the forehead lines i have acquired from making faces at all the fools that I encounter on a regular basis. Shannon is a doll and a miracle worker - no blood, perfect recommendations and perfect results.

She uses the perfect amount of product and her miracle laser zapped a few blemish scars into oblivion. She helped me get rid of of sun spots with her Vivite recommendation. Major plus: participation in the Brilliant Distinctions program - a frequent flyer program for cosmetic Allergan products. I acquired a $50 coupon after only 2 visits - very nice! Lisa, the admin and scheduler is always so accomodating (my schedule changes at the drop of a dime so i'm always a pain when trying to make an appt) but she is always cheerful and never sounds annoyed. Truly an experience to look forward to - mostly because of the lovely attitudes, professionalism and expertise of the staff.

I had Restyne filler around my nose and mouth and mouth, then botox on my nose. Everyone I delt with office was amazing. Easy to talk to and I got an immediate sense of comfort with the whole experience. Not to mention the office space itself was inviting and professional at the same time. The Retalyne was visible immediately although I have tiny of nics on my cheeks that as a, guy look more like shaving accidents.

I would highly recommend this staff and office to anyone who's thinking about doing this. One last thing, I told them I was considering other procedures and was advised against them so they are definitely not trying to upsell in any way, which I appreciated.
