Patient Reviews

Dr. Gutowski and his team provide an outstanding patient experience! First, his office is very welcoming and he always made an effort to accommodate my schedule. Dr. Gutowski took the time to listen to my concerns and explained the various options to address them. Surgery with him felt like a spa day and the postoperative recovery was a smooth process. He checked in with me after surgery to ensure everything was going well. The incisions healed nicely. Dr. Gutowski is an excellent clinician and surgeon. I highly recommend him!

The office is sunny and bright, the staff are efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. G. is always a pleasure and I feel like I am in capable hands.

I had neck liposuction and (neck) skin tightening done by Dr. Gutowski. Dr. Gutowski is not only very skilled and knowledgeable, but also patient and understanding. He explained all the steps, what to expect and talked me through the procedure. The procedure and recovery were quick and relatively painless. I love the results!! I would highly recommend Dr. Karol Gutowski!!!!

I had a mishap where I fell and needed stitches at my hairline. Dr. G went above and beyond to fit me in to his schedule and he did a great job making my cut have a chance to heal seamlessly. I am very grateful. He was so gracious about doing this “emergency” procedure.

Great experience with my reconstructive surgery. Dr Gutowski is very professional and made me feel comfortable from day one. His staff is very friendly and make you feel at ease with any questions or concerns. Dr Gutowski also responds quickly to any questions. My post op has been great! Little to no pain four days after surgery and Dr Gutowski also makes sure he communicates with you how…

I live in Wisconsin and travel to Illinois to have my procedures done by Dr Gutowski! He does amazing work. He even comes to the hotel to check on you after! Staff is always very friendly and I get quick responses whether I email, call or text! 100% would recommend him! I have lymphedema and lipedema in my legs stage 3 and he has helped me immensely get my mobility back! I also had my arms done

Wow! Wow! If you’re going to do a tummy, you absolutely have to see Dr. G. He does a drainless tummy tuck, which is in my experience has been an effortless recovery. I was preparing for the worst, and am beyond ecstatic with my recovery. Unbelievable, I told his staff that sometimes I think I’m just dreaming…… If it hadn’t been for that first sneeze, though!

He’s a very skilled and talented surgeon! He has great bedside manners, but most importantly he is very kind, considerate & humble. Dr. G, put me up (at his expense) in a hotel close to his office, and went to visit me the day after my surgery to see how I was doing. Wow! Above & beyond!

I had been in search for the perfect PS since 2015 (according to my realself profile), so grateful to have found him!

Dr. G & his staff are amazing! Thanks Dr. G for taking care of my crow’s feet & getting me Zoom ready! I had Xeomin for the crow’s feet & Restylane for my laugh lines,

I had two procedures done in October by Dr. Gutowski. Liposuction and Breast Augmentation.
I have a hereditary fat disorder, Lipodema, and so had lipo on my thighs and calves. Also after having 4 children I wanted to help the sad state my breasts were in, and had the augmentation at the same time. I am more than happy with my results from both procedures. My legs are still healing from the liposuction (I am now 2 month post operation) but my breasts are healed and look/feel amazing!
So thankful for the referral from my mom to go to Dr. Gutowski. I am thankful for his knowledge and skill. He did an amazing job at explaining procedures and making me feel comfortable throughout the process. I can not recommend him and his staff enough!

I am grateful to have Dr. Karol Gutowski as my surgeon. I have been dealing with Lipedema (fat disorder) since puberty. When I began my search I quickly found that many surgeons are not experienced with Liposuction for Lipedema treatment. Dr. Gutowski was more than knowledgeable and has been active in the advancement of research and treatment. I had a Brachioplasty (arm lift) and thigh liposuction and I am more than pleased with the result of increased mobility and overall general well-being.

Dr. Gutowski and his team are wonderful, and my results have been excellent. Dr. G. is very thorough in explaining your options and will answer all of your questions. Plus the assistants and front-desk staff are always on top of everything. I selected Dr. G. after consultations with three other doctors, and I’m happy I did. Highly recommend!

Great facials!

I’ve used aFresh for Botox/Xeomin and general skincare. Everyone on staff has been wonderful, organized, accommodating. I once showed up a week early for my appointment, and they offered to try to fit me in then and there. I could not be more satisfied with the Xeomin injections I got from Dr Gutowski. He gave me the perfect amount, and drastically improved some asymmetry in my eyebrows. I also really appreciated the skincare consultation with Jocelyn. I don’t know much about skincare, and she took a lot of time to explain everything and did a great job specializing her recommendations to my particular situation.

I absolutely love Dr. Kerolus. I meant to write this review earlier and on every other possible place I could write a review about her because she’s the best of the best. I genuinely look forward to seeing her. It is so inspiring to meet someone who is not only beautiful but actually so unbelievably intelligent. She has such a bright future ahead of her and I am definitely due for a touch up for the holidays! Thank you so much Dr Kerolus.

I had read about the Profound (R) micropuncture radiofrequency procedure to stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin of the face and neck. The photos looked fantastic, so I contacted Dr. Julia Kerolus, a facial plastics surgeon, to meet with me and explain the procedure and the science behind it and the expected timeline for results. After that i underwent the procedure at her outpatient office in Glenview. The entire process, from entering the room, to the initiation of local anesthesia, to the radiofrequency itself, was exactly an hour. I drove myself home. Afterwards there is facial swelling which recedes in about three days. And now, just six weeks after, i already look younger, refreshed, and smoother. It\’s pretty remarkable how successful this procedure was – definitely worth the effort!!

Best spa by far! Knowledgeable, super-friendly, very clean. Coming here is like hanging out with friends. Plus their work is impeccable!

Dr.Kerolus is amazing! I have never looked or felt so good. She was so patient, kind and competent. She took her time to explain everything and follow-up with me to ensure I was happy with the result and I was. My eyebrows are more arched, my lips are full (but in a totally natural way), my jaw line is slimmed all in just 1 short visit with Dr.Kerolus. I cannot recommend her more. I will be seeing a lot of her in my future.

Dr. Kerolus is a botox expert! I travel from St Louis to have her do my botox every 3-4 months. She always leaves my face looking refreshed but not overdone and her technique is painless! Not only that but she is so kind and truly listens to her patients. She leaves my face with a very natural look. Would highly recommend!!

Dr. Gutowski is Amazing, Very knowledgeable & there for me every step of the way with every call & visit I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr. His assistant, Ellen was just as amazing with answering every question & there for me also. The River North Surgery Center was also an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door to the compationate nurses. The Anesthesiologists was amazing, smart & funny. I woke up without pain. We are 5 days post tummy tuck, muscle repair with Lipo. Moving very slow, off Oxycodone early yesterday (day 4, 6am)& taking Advil. Hard to upper chest breathe because I breathe w/ my diaphragm. Pain with getting up & down, but once there, I’m good. Now to wait! Thank You Dr. G & Team!

Comfortable, quiet environment with knowledgeable staff!! This was by far the best facial/dermaplaning ive ever experienced!! Marina listens to your specific needs.

Very happy with my results- I had a great experience with Dr. Gutowski. He really listened to what I wanted. After going to several doctors that kept telling me to go bigger, Dr. G really understood my vision and he helped me achieve the look I wanted which was figure enhancing, and supportive of my athletic lifestyle.

I went in just for some botox and lip filler. Dr. Gutowski was fantastic. He explained everything and wasn’t pushy at all like other doctors I have seen in the past. I’m really liking the results and plan on going back for more procedures in the near future. I highly recommend Dr. Gutowski.

I chanced upon Dr. Gutowski at a local skin care clinic, and opted for Botox. I’ve had treatments before, but none were as satisfactory as that by Dr. Gutowski. I’m very pleased with the results, and have several people tell me how “young” and “healthy” I look. I highly recommend him.

​Dr Gutowski​ made me feel extremely comfortable during my consultation and procedure. I highly recommend him! Everyone tells me I look amazing. Just wish I could have done this sooner. Excellent bedside manner.

The number one thing needed after deciding to do a major surgery, is being 200% comfortable with your surgeon. We couldn\’t be happier we found Dr. G! After reading up on what procedures there are, the types of surgeries we may be looking at, healing times, etc (thank goodness for this site!) we began searching for the right surgeon. No way was I going through something so hugely important in my life, and so incredibly invasive without being 200% comfortable with the person welding the blade!! Thanks heavens for Dr. K Gutowski! He was technically the 6th or so surgeon I had been in contact with, and hubby and I knew it was right. On top of him responding to my email inquiry personally same day, he greeted us in his waiting room personally to consult with us about my body. We were initially in his consult room least an hour. No interruptions, and we never once felt like he wanted to be elsewhere, or rushed. We spoke BEFORE looking at my body (which is a big change from a nurse walking you into a doctors room, and telling you to put on a little paper cape before you even get a glimpse of the surgeon). We kept in fairly frequent contact from the first consult, to final consult (a whopping 8 months out), which was two or three weeks before the surgery where we spent over two uninterrupted hours with just the surgeon! Dr. G\’s office manager, Ellen, is one of the most wonderful professionals I\’ve met. Very responsive, above and beyond. I couldn\’t recommend Dr G and staff enough. We have been given both of their cell phone numbers, and they are adamant that in between post op checks, we text or call with any possible questions or concerns. So, so happy this team has taken care of me.

I highly recommend Dr. Gutowski because of his expertise and his caring attitude. The location is great and the facility is very warm and inviting as well.

Dr.Gutowski is just awesome.I had lipo with laser done few days before Full tummy tuck . This Doctor is very caring and takes care of his patients . You can feel that he is there for you with anything you need. For me this tummy tuck was important to get my self confidence back. I’m on my second day of tummy tuck recovery ,yesterday on day of the surgery Dr Gutowski came to see me at my home in the evening ,checking if everything is good and I’m comfortable .Just Wow. The surgery center Dr G choose was just great,their team was superb and pain doctor was fab too. I’m thankful to find Dr Gutowski to be. My body sculptor, literally he is artist in this field.If I need any more help with plastic surgery I’m forever patient ! Really happy with Dr Gutowski coordinator Ellen and his team . Thank you ,even know I’m still recovering ,I feel great to have this level of care ,just amazing.

Dr Gutowski is awesome, he listens to you and what you are wanting to achieve. I have always had a hollowness under my eyes and it has gotten worse with age and medical problems. He gave me Radiesse under my eyes. He has a special technique that gets the filler where it needs to be with very little pain. It looks great! I also had Restylane Lyft for lip filler. I was always afraid I would end up with these huge lips and it is just perfect. He knew just how much to give me! I can’t say enough good things about him. If you are considering anything please see him first, you won’t be disappointed.

Everything with Dr Gutowski and his team is always amazing! He’s the best !

Dr. G and his staff are welcoming and supportive, and they are happy to answer any questions you might have. I have had a few treatments of micro-needling and I am seeing a great improvement on the appearance of some deeper acne scars I had on my cheek.

Dr gutowski has a great team and he is very down to earth, caring, and very skilled at what he does.

My second procedure with Dr G. First a mommy makeover, now neck and eyelids. Love the results!

My first procedure with Dr Gutowski was a few years ago, a Mommy Makeover that changed my life! The tummy still looks great and my breasts feel natural. But then my face needed some work. Dr G’s talent with fillers gave me hope. Over the last 3 years, some well placed Botox, Bellafill and Restylane at Afresh Medical Spa did the trick. Then this year, he fixed my upper eyelids and did liposuction on my neck at the same time – all done awake in his office facility in less than 2 hours. What a difference it made (my younger sister is jealous). The staff is awesome and Ellen makes sure everything is done “concierge style”. Will be having my face treated with a CO2 laser this winter.

I remember looking in other states to get a surgeon as I did extensive research on my procedure. I decided to go with Dr. Gutowski. I was nervous because I’d never had surgery performed. It was one of the best decisions I could have made. The surgery was amazing and went smoothly. I trusted him to give me his honest opinion on what he could do. He consulted with me and we did it. I’m very pleased of the outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Gutowski. If you are looking for an honest talented surgeon who follows up with you he is your man!

I love coming to aFresh everyone is so friendly i love how clean it feels Inside. I love getting to talk with Dr Julia Kerolus she is so unbelievably intelligent, caring and you can tell how passionate she is about her job. I just recently started going here for Xeomin which I had never heard of until she educated me on it. It basically is similar to botox but without the extra proteins it’s more pure and that means there is a lower chance of developing resistance that can limit its desired effects. Julia does such a great job I’m always happy with the results and she is always so kind calling to check in on me afterwards. They definitely have gained a long-term client I won’t be going anywhere else.

Smart Lipo (three areas) done by Dr. Gutowski, very happy with results.

Dr. Kerolus has done Botox for me 3 times now, and her technique is honestly painless. She is very thoughtful and precise, and the results look completely natural. Not to mention, she is very knowledgeable and listens to the beauty concerns you want to address overall. I’ve had filler and non-surgical nose job with Dr, Gutowski, and could not be happier. He is slow and meticulous about shaping where he directs the filler, and takes his time. Ellen and all of the staff are so friendly here, you will enjoy coming in!

I needed help with my pendulous earlobes, and I asked Dr. Julia Kerolus to evaluate them and make a plan. She met with me and covered my hopes and expectations and explained what she could do surgically. I was fully aware of what to expect and the outcome was perfect. The actual earlobe reduction procedure was in the office, took about 14 minutes, and was actually a pleasant experience. I would do it again in a minute…but my earlobes look so great, I don’t need to!!!!

Dr Gutowski is fantastic. He and his entire office staff are very professional! His surgical skills are top notch!

2 Steps to a Better Me – So far Dr. G and Ellen have been awesome! They make you feel at home, easy scheduling, great offices, nice staff all around.

Part 2 to a Better Me – Awesome so far!!

Mommy Makeover-Ideal Implants and Lipo to thighs, calves, abs and flanks – I went to two other board certified plastic surgeons before meeting with Dr. G. The first doctor has his sales associate meet with new patients and peform the exam. I left the office with a quote and there was no mention of who would be performing the surgery. The other had me wait in his waiting room for an HOUR and was so rude and arrogant, there was no way I would have wanted him to perform such a personal surgery. Dr.G was not only the most down to earth, easy to talk to plastic surgeon I’ve met, but doctor in general. He runs his office on time which I feel is very respectful of his patients time. He listened to my concerns and was quick to answer his email with any questions I had. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and I am so thankful that I found him on RealSelf.

 Best PS in Illinois – Chicago, IL – After consulting 4 other doctors I knew my search was over when I met Dr. Gutowski. His bedside manners were impeccable, he asked the right questions, was realistic with me, and kept me informed the whole time. I knew my case wouldn’t be easy because I have a pre-existing condition that causes Chronic Anemia. For my story to be a success I needed a PS who excels at what he does, and 4 weeks… 

 Breast Augmentation – My experience with Dr. Gutowski was absolutely perfect. Before consulting with him, I had already visited 3 other plastic surgeons in the Chicago area and still wasn’t set on any of them. Once I met with Dr. Gutowski, I knew right away he was going to be the surgeon I chose. He spent so much time with me explaining everything I needed to know about the procedure including the different i… 

 An expert in his field and he provides remarkable care to his patients. – I want to express my sincere appreciation for the care I received from Dr. Gutowski. The initial consultation was an eye opener for me. This was the first surgeon who honestly did not tell me what I wanted to hear. Dr. Gutowski was very honest about the procedure and discussed realistic results with me. He took time to research some of my concerns with the potential results and emailed me a… 

26 Years Old, 5’8″, 130 Lbs, 425 Cc High Profile – Chicago, IL – A week from today I will be getting breast augmentation! I go in for my final appointment tomorrow and I picked up all of my meds at the pharmacy yesterday. I’m so nervous but excited! Right now my size is a Victoria Secret 32B. I am getting 425cc silicone, high profile, under the muscle implants with incisions under the breast. I have found Realself to be such an awesome tool in helping me decide what size/type of implant and also helping me find women with similar body types who have undergone augmentation to give me an idea of what I’m looking for! I can’t wait to share the rest of my journey with you guys.

I first saw this doctor for botox and was very happy with the results. He also referred me to his skin care person for regular facial treatments which after 3 months made my face look fresh. Since then I had an artefill injection and more?

Tummy tuck – Dr gutowski has a great team and he is very down to earth, caring, and very skilled had what he does.

Very Pleased with my Results. – One of my friends recommend Dr.Karol A.Gutowski for my eye lid surgery. I made the decision to see him and I was very pleased with the results. He and his staff was very professional and helpful. They explained every move to me throughout the process and made me feel very safe. A couple after the surgery I had a question and I was able to contact him directly through his cell phone and…

He is very competent, caring and kind – Dr. Gutowski is FANTASTIC! He is very competent, caring and kind. You can feel very confident with any procedure you have that the outcome will be beautiful. He does an amazing job and always has the best interest of patient at heart. He is the best and I wouldn’t see anyone else!

I am 68 years old and consulted with Dr. Gutowski and his staff for noninvasive treatment for my neck. After discussing my options, I chose to have liposuction and the Profound RF. I experienced no pain and the entire staff couldn’t have been more attentive and accommodating during and after the procedures. It has now been 12 days and I am so pleased already with the improvement I see. My only regret is that I didn’t have this done sooner!

Special shout out to Blair for the amazing facial and I am seriously loving my Xeomin (Botox alternative) results! Not to mention the $50 credit when you register with Xeomin experience online. Thanks to the staff and doctor for your professionalism and ease; will return!

 Under Eye Injections by Dr. G – My experience with Dr. G was awesome! I’ve never had anything cosmetic done before so I was very nervous. I did a lot of research for Drs who do injectable fillers for the eye bag area. I came across Dr. G and decided to go with him. He made me feel very comfortable and never pushed anything on me. He listened to my concerns and chose which filler would be best for me. The procedure was way b…

I would recommend Dr. G to anyone and everyone! I am so pleased with my whole experience with him! He is very thourough and honest! He didn’t push anything on me and always made sure I was comfortable. I got filler injections under my eyes to help my puffy eye bags (I’m only 27 years old) and I love my results!!

I had scar revision done on 2 large scars in my abdomen. I had 3 major operations 10 years ago that left me with horrible scars. For years I hated the way they looked and I would ask doctors if they can fix it. I always heard the same thing that no one can fix that. Well Dr Gutowski proved them all wrong. I found Dr Gutowski while doing extensive research on qualified surgeons. He was amazing from the day I met him. Never rushed or made me feel pressure. Explained in detail all my options. I decided to go ahead with the surgery and so happy I did. When I saw the results I started to cry. My scars are now pencil thin and look amazing. Thank you Dr Gutowski truly gifted surgeon.

 Great bedside manner, great staff, great results! – From the very start, my experience with Dr. G and his staff was nothing but excellent! I reached out to several plastic surgeons inquiring about a non-surgical nose job, and although they all reached out within 1-2 days, Dr.G’s office demonstrated excellent patient care right off the bat.

From the very start, my experience with Dr. G and his staff was nothing but excellent! I reached out to several plastic surgeons inquiring about a non-surgical nose job, and although they all reached out within 1-2 days, Dr.G’s office demonstrated excellent patient care right off the bat. Their patient coordinator, Ellen, called me and allowed me to come in for a consultation during a time when their office was typically closed! That showed me right away they were very accommodating and caring towards their clients.
During the consultation, Dr. G spent more time than expected answering all of my questions — he explained the different types of fillers, their chemical composition, duration of results, female/male nose structure differences, and possible side effects and risks. Most importantly, we discussed what I didn’t like about my nose and what I would change. More often than not, most plastic surgeons will try to sway you with what they would change, and although an expert opinion is always appreciated, it is VERY important to have your doctor listen to what YOU feel comfortable doing, and what would make YOU happy. Dr. G did just that, and I left the consultation feeling well informed and perfectly confident that I could trust him with my not-so-perfect nose.
Once I returned for my procedure, Dr. G explained every step he was performing. He gave me a numbing agent, and I didn’t feel a thing when he was administering the filler. He has a careful approach when it comes to his patients, so we only administered 1/4th of a syringe to start off. (I chose Restylane filler as this was my first procedure using any type of fillers.) I did experience some tenderness around the bridge of my nose for a few days, but no bruising or swelling. I returned 2 weeks later, and we administered the rest of the syringe in order to obtain a straighter profile of the nose.
I am ecstatic about the results! I showed my family, and I’ll be referring my sister over so she can get this procedure done as well. I’ll definitely be returning every 6-12 months for a touch-up!

Thank you Dr.G!

Scar Revision Was Huge Success – I had scar revision done on 2 large scars in my abdomen. I had 3 major operations 10 years ago that left me with horrible scars.

I Had an Amazing Experience – Everything was so perfect, I’m so happy!!! I’m really recommending him so nice and very professional. Before I felt so insecure but now everything is perfect so now I can start feeling secure and I know what I want the procedure it’s not that bad and not really painful.

 Dr. G is an Artist!! – Dr. Gutowski is absolutely fantastic. He is an artist and an expert at what he does and he prides himself on delivering the best outcomes possible. I had a tummy tuck with lipo and breast fat transfer. I interviewed surgeons in my city but couldn’t find one who had experience with breast fat transfer or the 360 tummy tuck with lipo. Many of the doctors in my area are also still using… 

 Friendly, Professional and In Touch – Dr. Gutowski is genuinely a warm, considerate and pays close attention to your goals. He took the time to review options with me, explained the procedure and made himself readily available Incase I had any questions that may come up after my consultation. He personally called me after my procedure to ask how I was doing. Dr. Gutowski is a true professional in his field, and keeps the human…

My skin removal surgery – So far he has been great my consultation he was on point with all the answers, and I like how he doesn’t use drains so looking forward for him to fix me up. Ellen also is great answer you back right away.I will pick my date soon with Dr G so can’t wait to be on the flat side and see my muscles

 Restylane Refyne and Defyne Injestions – I think Dr. Gutowski and his Managing Partner Ellen are the best Med Spa & Plastic Surgery team in Chicago area. I lost 45 pounds in the past year and was very unhappy with my sagging skin around my mouth and the nasolabial folds and marionette lines were really getting deeper and visible. Ellen was so kind and helpful to schedule my appointment around my busy life and is always there to… 

 Excellent doctor! – I had fillers done with Dr Gutowski and was so impressed. He was patient and kind. I also appreciate that he is more conservative in his treatment so I ended up looking very natural and “real”. I highly recommend Dr Gutowski! 

 Great work – I had a non-surgical nose job performed by Dr. Gutowski. He was extremely thorough in the explanation of the proceedure as well as the proceedure itself. He has an eye for detail and his experience with fillers shows in the results. I wouldn’t consider going to anyone else. Dr. Gutowski and his staff are also great at communication and scheduling which made the experience even more enjoyable. 

The best plastic surgeon – Dr. G is the the person to go to. I had a breast reduction surgery in September 2017 and I must say, I am more than pleased with my results. Dr. G was very attentive and informative. He gave me all the guidelines and what to expect with my surgery. He was there every time I needed him during my recovery. went from 44kk to 38dd. I loved the method he used for my surgery. I have minimum…

 Needed Fillers – Dr. Gutowski has the latest products and technologies. He also is great to work with. Highly recommended. 

 You Won’t Be Dissapointed – Dr. G was extremely helpful from the minute I met him. He answered all my questions and was honest about my needs and didn’t try to over-sell. I am extremely satisfied with both procedures; no more saggy eye-lids or bags. He contacted me personally to check up on me during my post-operative days. I highly recommend this very competent and caring surgeon. He and his staff are a pleasure to d…

 Love Dr G! – Awesome

After going to several doctors that kept telling me to going bigger, Dr. G really understood my vision and he helped me achieved the look I wanted which was figure enhancing, and supportive of my athletic lifestyle. 

 Fantastic experience – Dr. Gutowski was amazing. He met with me multiple times before my surgery and checked with both my husband and I to make sure that we both completely understood the procedures I was going to have. He even came to my house the day after surgery to check in on me and make sure that I was doing well. I am thrilled with the results, I only wish I had come to him sooner!

 Stick With The Best – When choosing a plastic surgeon, stick with the best. After many consultations, Dr. G immediately felt like the right choice. The process was so smooth and I was well taken care of by him and the staff, before and even after the procedure. No questions went unanswered so the day of the surgery I felt prepared. The results speak for themselves, I’m so happy with my curves. Recovery was harder…

Great Doctor and Staff – I’ve had Botox done twice already at this clinic and results were great. Dr. Gutowski is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to explaining things. The clinic is very nice and staffed with helpful people. Dr. Gutowski spent reasonable amount of time with me explaining what’s best for me when I first decided to get Botox and he didn’t push me to use more expensive procedures. I highly recommended his clinic.

Expertise Laced in Kindness – I highly recommend Dr. Gutowski because of his expertise and his caring attitude.The location is great and the facility is very warm and inviting as well.

 22 Years Old, Acne Scars – Champaign, IL – I met with Dr. Gutowski for a consultation appointment with Becky Monson and was very pleased. They made me very comfortable and answered all my questions.

 Botox Did Wonders for Me – Champaign, IL – I was introduced to Dr. Gutowski through Becky Monson Skin Care. Dr. Gutowski is a gifted and caring professional.

Our community is lucky to have Becky Monson Skin Care and through her Dr. Karol Gutowski. 

 Botox and Filler – Champaign, IL – Dr. Gutowski is Amazing! I first found him on this website as I was looking to get minor work done. I had planned on driving to Chicago, but was pleasantly surprised that he sees patients 2x/month in Champaign at Becky Monson Skin Care. Perfect! I received Botox injections for my lines between my eyebrows and also to drop my upper lip down a little. I also received filler for my upper lip and am absolutely thrilled with the results. He is extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I plan to get more work done- trust me, he is Fantastic!! Don’t wait- Go see him!

Mommy Makeover-Breast Augmentation and Lipo to thighs, calves, abs and flanks – I went to two other board certified plastic surgeons before meeting with Dr. G.The first doctor has his sales associate meet with new patients and perform the exam. I left the office with a quote and there was no mention of who would be performing the surgery. The other had me wait in his waiting room for an HOUR and was so rude and arrogant, there was no way I would have wanted him to perform such a personal surgery. Dr.G was not only the most down to earth, easy to talk to plastic surgeon I’ve met, but doctor in general. He runs his office on time which I feel is very respectful of his patients time. He listened to my concerns and was quick to answer his email with any questions I had. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and I am so thankful that I found him on RealSelf. I’ve always had an issue with excess fat on my legs from my hips to my ankles. My upper body has always been fit and somewhat muscular but I never have been able to achieve that in my legs. So after having 3 kids including one over 40 I decided to see a plastic surgeon about my deflated breasts and address the hatred I’ve always had for my legs. I found an excellent doctor here on RealSelf. He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions and we scheduled the surgery.Everyone at the surgery center was very nice and my after care nurse was just phenomenal. Post op was real rought the first few days but by the one month mark I felt pretty much back to normal and by the second month I was back to normal. I am three months out now. I went from a small B to a full C with 350cc Ideal Implant (no lift) and lost 2 pant sizes. My calves and ankles have never been as small and defined as they are right now. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Happy Face 40 Year Old ! 🙂 – Chicago, IL – Dr. G is a very friendly and easy to communicate with. He wasn’t pushy. Instead he takes time to listen to what you want. He gives his professional opinion and options. I wish I would’ve found him sooner. I wasted my time and money on another doctor, and never was happy with the results or his arrogance. Dr. G and his staff are Amazing. Talented, considerate, helpful and understanding. He is excellent and trustworthy. He definitely knows his skill very well. Oh, and unlike the other doctor who after the fillers I left looking like I was in a car accident. With Dr. G., I had various fillers, than before, and left hardly bruised. Happy I found him and his wonderful staff!

I had the best experience possible with Rejuvenate Med Spa, Doctor Gutowski and his stuff. The procedure I had done for my face was for my scars after acne and I tried many other procedures which I didn’t see major results. After seeing Doctor Gutowski and getting most professional advice and scheduling the procedure I can tell it was the best thing for my problem. The improvement is huge and I am very happy with the results! Most definitely recommended best Doctor that actually really cared to help me and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you so much!!!

My experience at Rejuvenate Med Spa has been amazing since day 1. I love coming to this spa! The spa is very clean and the ladies are always pleasant and welcoming. Laura is great she is very friendly and does her job amazingly. I’ve done the Micro needling (4 treatments) and i love it. i am amaze with the results.

 I Waited Too Long to Do This!!! Chicago, IL – I’ve had a double chin my entire life!!! Even when I was much thinner, people would tell me wow, I would think you are much bigger based on my drivers license. I finally bit the bullet and had chin and neck Lipo with laser tightening. I’m only two days out and I already look like a 2.0 version of myself. 

 Pleased with my Lipo! – Chicago, IL – Dr. Gutowski and his staff were so friendly! The best part is that Dr. G is great with answering any questions/concerns when needed. 

35 Year Old Athletic Female – Chicago, IL – Dr. Gutowski is very kind and understanding. I am very impressed that he actually takes the time to talk me to via email and phone for any questions I had which is very rare for busy plastic surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Gutowski. – – I was always self conscious about my thighs and tummy. Those areas are where I can easily gain weight esp the upper thighs. With diet and exercise, I was able to lose a bit of inches but not to where I wanted to be so I’ve decided to see Dr. Gutowski for a Liposuction consultation. He explained how liposuction can target my trouble zones and it is a fairly simple procedure. One thing about I was hesitant about was going under during surgery. He suggested that I can get the procedure where can localize the areas being treated and still be awake! After a week of contemplating, I’ve decided to move forward with the procedure. During the procedure I was a bit nervous but it went fairly quick and Dr. Gutowski was very kind and patient with my needs and concerns. Procedure happened on a Friday and went back to work that Monday. I was sore for about two weeks but nothing major to complain about. As each month went by, I would notice how my pants felt a bit looser and that is a great feeling! In conclusion I am very pleased with my Liposuction and would do it again!

 There are not enough words as to the incredible scale of customer service and attention to detail! I walked out, literally, a different woman! You get looking and glowing! Would have never believed it if I didn’t experience it! I suffer from rosacea and my skin was really catered to! Amazing results, amazing women! Thank you Laura for making me look so great!! 

 The location is beautiful Staff is amazing! Love coming here ! 

 59 Years Old. Painful Huge Breasts No Matter How Much Weight I Lost – Chicago, IL – This Dr. is wonderful, understanding and always available to address and concerns.

 Lips Were Ruined by Another Doctor with a Bad Injection, Dr. Gutowski Fixed Them Perfectly! – Chicago, IL – I love that Dr. Gutowski is very easy to reach! He responds emails and texts within minutes usually. I never feel rushed at his office, he’s super gentle and sweet! If I ever do any kind of surgery in the future, I will definitely choose him! 

Second Visit to Dr G!!! I Love This Man – Chicago, IL – Words cannot describe how blessed I feel to have met Dr.G. I have never met a doctor ego truly loves what he does. I have never reviewed anything, but Dr. G was beyond worth it.

I just did a breast augmentation with Dr. G, and had an amazing experience. I had two consultations with him prior to surgery and immediately felt comfortable with him as well as his staff. He is a genuine person and answered all my questions. I am so happy with my results too. I was nervous before and he did an amazing job. I wanted a small augmentation, going to just a full B cup and that’s exactly what I got. They are perfect and I couldn’t be more please. I would highly recommend him any day!

Rating: 5 Your Feedback: I’ve had a few consults with other plastic surgeons, all of whom were nice and professional, but there was something different about Rejuvenate Med Spa and Dr. Gutowski. First, everyone at the front desk was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Ellen, the surgical manager has a spirit and manner that is extremely engaging; it’s as if we’d been friends for years. Dr. Gutowski is knowledgeable, professional and engaging, and has an ability to put one at ease immediately. I knew immediately that he was going to be the doctor to perform my procedure. I did my research prior to my consultation and it was clear to me that Dr. Gutowski is using the latest in all procedures. He was also honest with me about what procedures he thought I would benefit from and which I would not, which I appreciated. Ellen followed up immediately with me on prices and additional information. I couldn’t be happier and can’t wait for my new body!

 Quick service, already feel a difference, super great receptionist 

I had Smart Lipo and fat transfer with Dr. Gutowski about a month ago and am extremely pleased with my results. Right from the beginning, Dr. Gutowski made me feel comfortable. He was professional and down to earth throughout my entire experience. During the procedure, I felt that he was thorough and conscious of my needs. My results look fabulous. My scars are well hidden and tiny. I would highly recommend Dr. Gutowski and Rejuvenate Med Spa for SmartLipo, fat transfer, or any other cosmetic procedure. I plan on returning for a “Mommy Makeover” after I have children.

 Wonderful Doctor! Great experience! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff!!! 

 50 Years, Mom of 3: Happy with Smart Lipo & Dr. Gutkowski/staff – Oak Brook, IL – I am four months post- op, having had Smart Lipo on my flanks (the hated love handles), lower abdomen and inner thighs. I am so happy I had this procedure. Dr. Gutowski had me completely at ease and confident in his skills; his wonderful nurse Susie was amazing during it all. There were no complications, the doctor followed up both before and after, and his nurse checked on me too. I highly recommend this doctor, and plan to have my eye-bags done by him next year. 

 I’m doing the Brazilian laser hair removal with Judy Kim! She is very professional and makes me feel comfortable with showing her everything multiple visits if you know what I mean. The results have worked wonders so far! The place is very clean and would recommend going there. 

30yr Female, Arm Lift with Lipo on Arms, Back, Bra Line, Small Buffalo Hump, Abdomen and Flanks! – Chicago, IL – I’m a 30 year old female that has battled with large and saggy arms my whole life. My grandmother had them so bad, they would flap in the wind. Thanks, babciu. My weight has also frequently fluctuated throughout my life, so I do have a lot of extra skin with pockets of fat. My boyfriend and I have begun talking of wedding plans, which means now is the time to do something about this and give myself time to heal before a wedding happens.I searched for a long time for different doctors. I made consultation appointments with three and then narrowed it down to Dr. Gutowski. I was pretty nervous going into the appointment, but once I was in the appointment room, it made me feel relaxed. He was extremely easy to talk to and down to Earth. He won’t try to sell you crap you don’t need, either. He and his patient care coordinator, Ellen, are fabulous at keeping in touch and getting back to me with any questions or concerns. Ellen has been great at getting me accommodated with my crazy schedule and getting surgery set up for the perfect date so I can recover over my vacation. I am having multiple procedures done, so I will create a review/post for both and will keep them updated simultaneously. I will try to get photos posted as soon as possible.I know a lot of people are curious about costs of plastic surgery. I will be put under general anesthesia since I am having so much done at once, so my procedure is costing a bit more than if you were to do any of these separately under local anesthesia. Also keep in mind, the cost can fluctuate based on each customer and their exact needs. Here is the breakdown of costs:Arm Lift: $6,000 with $2,752 anesthesia fee Lipo to back, bra line, hump: $3000 with $1,350 anesthesia fee Lipo to abdomen and flanks: $4,000 with $1,350 anesthesia fee Because I am having all done at the same time, because I mentioned RealSelf and because I am allowing them use of my before and after photos, it dropped the total from $18, 452 down to $15, 704.

 36 Years Old No Kids – Chicago, IL – Doctor G and his team are awesome. He will let you know what to do and what not do to! Honesty goes a long way! Thank you Doctor G

Much Needed Tummy Tuck, MR, & Lipo After 10lb Baby, 37 Mom of 2 – Chicago, IL – Throughout this entire process Dr. G has been AMAZING. From his awesome Coordinator Ellen to his wonderful bedside manner, he has been the most patient, responsive, and friendly doctor. From the first consultation he was honest about expected results, provided in detail what to expect and made himself available if I had any questions. After the procedure he personally followed up with me to see if I was ok and once again made himself available if I had any problems, questions, or concerns. I am extremely pleased with my results and I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gutowski to anyone in the Chicago area seeking a procedure.

 29 Years Old, Getting Married This Year, Feel Not Proportionate – Chicago, IL – He is the most professional, yet caring and concerned doctor I’ve EVER dealt with.

I will never trust another plastic surgeon other than him.

Just had a Body Lift/Circumferential Tummy Tuck with Lipo Included , Feeling Excited! – Chicago, IL – I’m having a body lift/circumferential tummy tuck in 4 days with Dr. G. After having lost 108 lbs, I’m finally getting rid of the loose skin hanging around my abdomen and back. My final goal is to at last be able to show my full six pack(only my upper abs are visible now ), which I feel is being covered by hanging loose skin and maybe very little fat left in that area. I worked my butt off exercising and dieting for almost 3 years and I feel now is the time to finally show and be proud of the results of all my hard work.I got my prescriptions filled, a recovery area set up in my home with a recliner, books and magazines to pass the time, arnica montana , and bromelain supplements. Does anybody have any other suggestions, advice for my upcoming surgery?

 My experience with Laura Hunnewell was exceptional. I had the Epionce Lite Peel Refresh. It was refreshing and that showed in my skin. She was extremely knowledgeable and counseled me on products and structures to keep my skin healthy and glowing. I will absolutely be back for more! 

 I had a wonderful experience with Laura on my first DermaSweep treatment. While providing a soothing, calming environment, she took the extra time to explain the treatment and its effects on the skin. My skin appeared clear and smoother than ever before…even days after – I will definitely be back! 

 Laura Hunnewell introduced me to the Skin Pen, and I am greatful! My skin looked and felt better within hours. The next day, and the next day after that was even better! I recommend Laura and her fabulous skills and knowledge with the Skin Pen. 

 My experience with Laura Hunnewell is always so pleasant. She has given me the education and confidence to get my skin where it needs to be. I came in for a dermasweep and ill be back next month for another!

 TT Revision w Lipo, Implant Removal W Lift & Fat transfer-Chicago, IL – Dr Gutowski gave me an honest appraisal during my consultation of what he felt he could realistically do to give me the best results possible. I felt him to be honest, competent and personable. He has years of experience and is a very skilled surgeon. He answered all my questions, returned all my emails promptly and assisted with extra forms for work/FMLA. I feel he is an excellent surgeon and though still early I see dramatic results that are only going to improve with additional healing time. I’m very satisfied and will be returning to him in the fall for upper arm lipo. I recommended him to my mom for her arm lift. 

 I am scheduled for surgery at the end of the month but my experience so far has been wonderful. Dr. G is a wonderful doctor and seems very knowledgeable about the procedures that I want to do.

 Discouraged with results of TT! – Chicago, IL – Dr. G is awesome. He’s confident but not cocky, he takes his time and didn’t make me feel rushed and he’s very nice. He was the first doctor I had a consultation with. After meeting him I cancelled the consults with the other docs I had scheduled because he made me feel comfortable, he could give me the results I was looking for and he doesn’t use drains. Dr. G has been great at responding to all my questions and concerns. I was discouraged with my results but I’m giving it time and staying positive since I now look so much better and clothes finally fit right! 

Best Plastic Surgeon in Chicago-Lincoln Park Aesthetics Location – Chicago, IL – It doesn’t get any better than Lincoln Park Aesthetics and Dr. G.

Searching in OH, Michigan, Pittsburgh and Chicago!! – I just love Dr. G, he is a very caring, considerate and very approachable person. There has never been a time that I have gotten in touch with him, whether it be by phone or email, that he did not get in touch with me, and for that I am very grateful.I would strongly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He did not try to push anything on me that I did not need, and his prices are very reasonable,not that, that was the main issue, because health is more important….and he does offer a $1,000 off if you mention RealSelf, that’s another plus!!!There is no arrogance detected, and his staff is very accomodating also.My time is fast approaching and I am very excited and I can rest well knowing that I have God first, and him second in bringing me through this….that is all for now, and I surely will be posting more on this great doctor in the near future!!!!Two thumbs up, high fives and whatever else I can give to him!!!!

5’5″, 158lbs, age 29 No Kids– Lipo: Thighs Abdomen Flanks. Chicago, IL – I had always been a chubby child and never had a flat stomach as a teen or adult. I went from a sedentary lifestyle in college to running 6 miles a day, 6 days a week while I was in law school. I got down to a shredded muscular 138, but because of my pear shape I had zero boobs. Despite my shredded physique then, I still had a small lower belly pooch and a pocket of fat on my anterior thighs (right on the top front, near the inner thigh area). These fat pockets have pretty much been my constant companions my whole life.Now that I’m working full time in a position that requires 50% travel, I have a lot less time on my hands for fitness. I still make time for running–I did the Marathon last year and a half marathon in September. In addition to the other races I’ve done this year, I have a 9-mile race scheduled for November 9 too. But I’ve gone up to 158 with a lot more fat spread to the thighs. Those fat-pocket-friends have gotten even bigger. I rarely wear pants to work as I find them too uncomfortable. The fabric bunches in my crotch area because those fat pockets push them up, and they wear out more quickly where my thighs rub together.I decided on lipo after weight training this summer. I have been trying to change my diet to more protein and fewer carbs, still maintaining enough to support my running hobby. Though I’ve seen some results, I want to see what my body would look like without these fat deposits. I didn’t want to wait until after I had children in order to see these results either because–well–why should I postpone my life now for an uncertain future? I’ve talked it over with my boyfriend of two and a half years who is nervous but sweet and supportive, and I’m ready to make this investment in my appearance.Anyway, over the course of about a month, I visited 4 different plastic surgeons in the Chicago area to discuss what I wanted them to do and to get some quotes. The first 2 surgeons I visited were not really interested in taking on my thighs. It strikes me that anything other than the lateral thighs–saddlebags I guess–is too tough aesthetically to yield a solid result. I looked at scores of pictures here and other places and saw a lot of botched jobs. My thighs generally are great and I don’t want to screw them up, so I looked for a surgeon who had done good-looking thigh jobs in the same areas that I really liked.I encountered one surgeon who I seriously considered, but though we had great rapport, she only wanted to give me a tiny waist–not really essential to this process. I ended up finding only one surgeon who would agree to take on my thigh job. He has great reviews, some good-looking thigh job photos for this area (which were mostly done as entire-thigh sculpting), and he seemed confident without being an @$$hole about it. He basically offered me exactly what I wanted: a better, more sculpted version of me. I don’t need to look like I’ve had work done, just have better contour in these areas. He was realistic about what he could do and he told me I didn’t need other work in other areas. No hard sell on a BBL here either (I have a nice booty that I like very much!). I told him I appreciated his honesty about his own skill and about the gimmicks of lipo as a whole. He offered me the option of local anesthetic as opposed to general, and he gave me a decent price compared to some of the other quotes I received. If you’ve spent any time on this site or on the internet in general, you’ll notice that there aren’t many Black folks who have gone under the knife or who are willing to post their stories. I’m here to do just that. I asked my doc about scarring, and he’s told me that he stitches up the incision sites to avoid dark scarring around the incision areas. We’ll see how that works out. I’m nervous, to be sure. I scheduled my surgery on a date that I’d previously scheduled off, and I’m set to travel for the holidays about 9 days after that. I hope that I’m healed enough to feel ok to travel and not look like I just took a beating once I get in front of my family. I plan to keep this thing updated with the hope that other people will get some use out of my story.Here goes.

 Still getting used to being flat! 🙂 – Dr. G has been amazing. He has confidence in his profession. He speaks to you as an individual and makes recommendations on how to get the most from your procedure. From the consult to the procedure and follow up visits, he takes his times, focuses on your questions and you never feel rushed or as though you are just another patient. He takes pride in what he does and cares about your satisfaction. He and his staff are more than accommodating and always make you feel welcome and comfortable. He was very reassuring not only to myself but also to my mother and my husband throughout the process. Wonderful care with him and I am so pleased to have found him. I got what I asked for and more. I highly recommend him! 

 Love my laser hair removal results! I would recommend this place to anyone! Friendly, courteous staff! 

Breast augmentation – Highly knowledgeable, very dedicated to his job, excellent bedside manners, excellent follow up after surgery, and last but not least awesome results!!! He is the only doctor that I went to because he was at the top of my list, and he exceeded my expectations! Dr. Gutowski took his time to answer every single question that I had. At the end of my very first appointment with him I book my surgery. Also, Erin, his nurse, has a very positive attitude, very kind, and is full of energy. Awesome team!I’m very happy that I chose Dr. Gutowski to perform surgery on me. He’s definitely one of a kind and he totally knows what he does! I highly recommend Dr. Gutowski! He’s a gem in this field

 Dream Came True – Northbrook, IL – Dr. Gutowski is very professional and did excellent work on my breast reduction.Nurse, Erin, is an wonderful person to be around before and after such a stressful procedure as surgery.

 !!! – Northbrook, IL – Dr. Gutowski was recommended to me by my fiance’s friend. After consulting with 2 other doctors who were located nearer my home, we decided that Dr. Gutowski was our best choice. He’s extremely professional. During our consult, he started discussion with the risks right away, which I thought was very informative. I felt so comfortable with him right away. We discussed what size I should get and although I hesitated with 397 cc, I was convinced later on that it would be a good fit for my frame. Day of surgery was so easy, even though I was anxious to get it over with. The follow ups with Dr. Gutowski have been successful. I’m so happy I made my decision to pick this doctor. 

 The Ultimate Filler – Northbrook, IL – Dr. G. provided me the kindness and professionalism which is important to me. He did not overwhelm me with information, but always answered the questions I asked to my satisfaction. Rather than just agree to what I thought I wanted, he provided his opinion in a manner which encouraged me to give more thought to my ideas. He was very easily accessible both at the office and afterhours when needed. The package of total care was far beyond my imagination. There is a lot of follow up to ensure that everything is going right. Nice sense of humor too. 

 Dr. G, the Best and Love my Results! – Northbrook, IL – My doctor was Dr. Gutowski. 

 A no drain Tummy Tuck for the Holidays – Northbrook, IL – Prior to meeting Dr. G I had two consultations with some very high profile North Shore surgeons. One of them was ok but way too expensive. The other was very highly recommended but something about him creeped me out and I didnt feel comfortable. I found Dr. G on Real Self and since the consult was free I thought I would give it a try. The instant he walked into the room I knew he was “the one”. He is extremely approachable but very very confident (for those who know..he has SWAG) and I knew he would do a good job. His price was affordable and the timing in my own life was right. His staff is very nice and responsive. Its only a few days post op and I what I see now still looks like a big old mess, but I think it will smooth out and be awesome. I already know that I look 100% better in clothes and that was my goal.I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gutowski! 

 Highly Recommend????? Dr. Gutowski & His Staff Are Awesome! – Northbrook, IL – Dr. Gutowski has been very professional, kind and caring from my first meeting with him! It has been all about my health and making sure I was happy with the results. His expertise was apparent from the consultation, through surgery and now through my follow up appointments! Highly recommend!! 

 “Good Choice – Northbrook, IL – Dr. Gutowski is a great surgeon, and all an around great guy. He’s thoughtful, helpful, and passionate about his work. I decided that it was time for me to fix my nose. I found Dr. G on realself and e-mailed him with details about my dorsal hump that I was interested in removing. I was extremely impressed that he called me at 8pm to speak about the details of what I wanted. After a few moments of discussion, I scheduled a consultation with him. When I came in for the consultation, I was greeted pleasantly by the staff, and taken in immediately by the doctor. We discussed my options and he used computer imaging to predict my results. We decided on an open rhinoplasty, in order to remove more dorsal hump, and to refine my tip a bit because it was bulbous.Two weeks before my surgery I managed to be ridiculously late for my re-op consultation and the office was so understanding. I came in an hour and a half late but everyone smiled and had no problem with my clumsy mistake. I was taken in by Marta for a peel and right after that I saw Dr. Gutowski. I can’t get over how nice everyone is at that office. It’s great haha. Anyway, Dr. Gutowski saw me and explained my risks, post op instructions, etc. They gave me written instructions, and even some tips for my family and I for the post op emotional recovery time. This office goes above & beyond to make sure their patients feel comfortable.When my surgery date came, I was nervous because I’ve never had surgery before. My nurse Erin took me in and got me ready for the surgery. I met with my anesthesiologist (who’s name I forgot) and he answered all the questions I had. As soon as I laid on the operation table, the lights went out & I woke up after the whole thing was over.In the recovery room Erin was there when I woke up & let me see my family. Dr. Gutowski came in to see me after the surgery and explained my care instructions. I was given water & oatmeal, and relaxed for a few moments longer until it was time to go. Erin gave me her phone number to reach her at anytime in case i needed any questions or help. I don’t think I ever felt in the dark about anything throughout my whole experience. I totally recommend Dr. G to anyone looking for a surgeon. He, as well as his staff treat their patients very well. He even replied to me on a Sunday afternoon to an e-mail that I sent to him during my recovery about my healing concerns. (Now that’s dedication (: ) Erin also called me after the surgery asking if I was feeling okay, answering all of my questions. I totally recommend him.”

 LPA was an absolutely wonderful experience!! Michelle was amazing and made me feel completely comfortable. It was nice, clean, and has a great upscale Lincoln Park vibe. In preparation for my upcoming wedding, I wouldn’t trust my bridal skin with anyone else. Ha. 5 stars and hats off to LPA… I can’t wait to go back! 

 So far I’ve had one Brazilian LHR session with Michelle. She was so professional, and the place was very clean and quiet. I felt very comfortable here despite the fact that I was baring my lady parts. Will definitely be completing my 5 additional sessions, and I will try to report back on the success. The machine they use is new, large, quick, and powerful, so apparently they’re having great results so far. 

 Charisse is the best! I have been going to her for Botox and fillers for 5 years now. I used to live in Chicago but I moved to San Francisco 2 years ago and I fly back just so I can have my treatment done by Charisse. Totally flawless and gentle, not to mention how knowledgeable she is in skin care, plastic surgery, and aesthetics in general. I would recommend Charisse to anyone and wouldn’t trust anyone else. 

 Charisse is staying current on the lastest and most innovative techniques for injecting Botox and Juvederm, thanks to ArqueDerma! O-M-G! LOVE THIS … 

“Just LOVE them 🙂 – Office and staff were very welcoming and helpful. I felt well taken care of and important to my Doctor. I did not feel rushed into anything and decisions were up to me. So far I do recommend them and I am hopeful that I will continue to recommend them :)”

 I Now Have Perfect Breasts – Northbrook, IL – Dr. G is very caring and easy to talk to. I had conflicting opinions on what to do about my uneven breasts and he spent the most time in explaining my options. My breasts look even and natural now.

Great Surgeon – Dr. Gutowski fixed my thighs after a “cosmetic surgeon” caused lumps and divots with Smart Lipo. Dr. G did fat injections and a lipo revision – 2 years later my thighs look so much better!

I had a consultation for breast augmentation and liposuction with a few surgeons. I could tell that Dr G and his staff were the most caring and experienced after just a few minutes in the office. They did not pressure me into having anything done. Dr G explained my options and Wendy worked with me to make the cost affordable.

 Very happy with surgery – Very caring and talented doctor 

I saw the doctor for a tummy tuck but he suggested that I only need liposuction. I was back to work in 3 days and after a few weeks my tummy and thighs looked so much better.

Extremely Pleased with Results!!! – I had a consu
