I had breast implants in 2010 and in Dr placik was wonderful. I was quite nervous because I had never done anything to myself, and this was after three children. Who was commendable with his nurse and she showed me why I should pick silicone under the muscle implants instead of saline over the muscle. The recovery was a bit rough, but with implants under the muscle that's going to happen. 16 years later, I'm doing great. I didn't go completely crazy in terms of size. I went reasonable and proportional to what I looked like before children. My goal was so that clothing fits me better and more like when I was younger. This doctor achieved that and I'm so grateful. I do not have any visible scars. I had thought I was sagging, but the doctor said no really you are just deflated and we can fix that. I also chose the aftercare where I stay the night at a facility down the hall from his surgical suite. I'm glad I did so since I had three children, and I knew that there was no way I would get any rest at home.

I have been researching plastic surgeon's for some time. Comparing patients before and after photos as well as patient reviews. I liked Dr. Placik before and after photos / reviews the best and I am so thankful I chose him. I had saline implants removed and breast lift. I still have enough volume and am now a small C cup from a DD. I also had extended tummy tuck with lipo and fixed my abdominal muscles. The recovery is no joke and you should mentally prepare to be uncomfortable for a few weeks. The staff worked with me regarding a delay for financing (my lender delayed my loan due their error in not filing correct documents). Thank you to Ayan for your patience. I am only 6 weeks post-op but the difference is unbelievable. I even cried when I put on a pair of jeans for the first time and they fit how they were supposed to (without the saggy skin tummy pouch / bulge I had). I am extremely happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Placik!

Dr. Placik did my mommy makeover over a decade ago. He's the only person I'd trust to work on my face. Nurses at the surgical center were even gushing that he's the only surgeon they would go to. The brilliance of a Dr. with patents and consistently at the top of his field.

I recently had a Breast Augmentation with a Lift done by Dr. Placik and the results have far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Placik is an amazing Surgeon, who from the first time I met him, listened to all of my concerns and gave me exactly what I wanted. I had two Breast Augmentations in the past, and this is the first time I truly feel in love with the results. I have also really enjoyed seeing Dr. Placik for my follow ups because he always takes the time to answer all of my questions and makes me feel at ease about the recovery process. His staff is also very welcoming and helpful anytime I come into the office. I would highly recommend Dr. Placik. He is truly amazing!

I highly recommend Dr. Otto Placik and his staff to address any of your plastic surgery needs.  I had the pleasure of being his patient since 2022 and have had breast augmentation, breast lift and extended abdominoplasty.  My results exceeded my expectations and I am so proud to be a walking work of art of what he can do.

Dr. Placik is an incredible surgeon, and my experience with him has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt comfortable and well cared for. He is extremely professional, yet warm and approachable, taking the time to thoroughly explain all my options and answer any questions I had. What really sets Dr. Placik apart is his attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome. The results have far exceeded my expectations, and I’m so happy with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a skilled, compassionate surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Placik!

Everyone here is super nice! All the nurses always made me feel super comfortable even though i'm half naked most of the check ups. Dr. Placik is super goofy and nice but so well educated. I am really happy with my overall results it has really changed my life. I definitely would recommend anyone I know to come here. Finding the money for this procedure was tough but I am so glad I did. You cant put a price on the quality of your life

Life changing!  I am a little over 4 months post op (tummy tuck and flank lipo) and I could not be happier with my results!  Dr. Placik and his team are incredible!  I knew immediately that Dr. Placik was my best choice after my initial consultation.  He was so thorough and honest and explained in great detail the specifics of the surgery that he would perform in order to produce the best result for me and my desired outcome.  The day of surgery went very smoothly and the surgery itself was shorter than he originally quoted me.  I am not going to lie, the first 3 weeks post op were rough, but once I started to move around more and get on a treadmill, I started to feel much better.  From week 3-5 I started to feel more like myself and was able to get back to my normal workout routine by 5.5 weeks!  The post op care was very thorough and Dr. Placik and his staff answered all my daily questions with great patience-they were always there to support my recovery.  I saw Dr Placik routinely up until 3 months post op.  My result is fabulous and the scar is barely noticeable even though my surgery was just in November.  I get so many compliments! Every day I feel my swelling decreasing and was told that it should be gone by the 9 month mark.  I am so happy and owe it all to Dr. Placik!

Special thanks to Dr. Placik and team!  From the detailed process, preparation for surgery/pre-op instructions, and consistent follow-up every few days by the kindest staff before/after surgery, the experience was great and made me feel comfortable and excited about the day.  Previously, had three physician consultations; experience, attentiveness, and more in depth knowledge and real answers were key in my decision.  After more research and eyeing Dr Placik's work for another year, I felt confident he was the one to do the job and absolutely love my results!  Highly recommend!

If you are considering having a procedure done choose Dr. Placik (You will thank me later!). Honestly, he and his team will make you feel so comfortable. I appreciate all of his recommendation for my breast augmentation because it gave me beautiful results. He has a great eye for detail. He is a phenomenal listener and is not judgmental. With him I achieved the look I always wanted. Everything went so smoothly, and my mind was at ease the whole time. From my consultation, to recovery, to now (3 months post OP) they have gone above and beyond taking care of me. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. I couldn’t be more happier with my results.

If you are considering plastic surgery or nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, then you want Dr. Placik, period. Over the years I had consultations with several plastic surgeons recommended by friends (and one by my GP), and I never moved forward because I just didn't feel confident they would achieve the results I wanted. Then I searched "top plastic surgeons Chicago" and found Dr. Placik - so I started doing my due diligence via his website. I was impressed by his credentials: double board certification, decades of experience, roles as an educator, author, and thought-leader, and more. His before & after pics were incredible. But I knew that was just one side of the story, so I also did my homework by checking out reviews of Dr. Placik as well as the other "top plastic surgeons" on every platform I could find. His reviews were overwhelmingly the best and just furthered my belief that he was the right surgeon for me. What I found during my first consultation was that Dr. Placik is not only top in his field, but he has an incredible bedside manner. He is both surgeon and artist - and has a keen eye for detail. He first takes the time to truly understand the outcome you desire and then thoroughly explains the options - all while never pushing a procedure on you (in fact, he told me I didn't need a procedure I thought I may want). He is a consummate professional and has a way of making you feel comfortable in a situation where you may feel vulnerable. After weight loss I had a lot of loose skin and skin rolls, and thought a tummy tuck and breast lift would give me the results I wanted. The other surgeons met with me for maybe 15 minutes and then gave me a quote for exactly what I asked for instead of trying to understand what I was trying to achieve and the advising me how to get there. Dr. Placik spent an hour with me at my consultation. He shared all of the options and what the outcome could be, explained the pros/cons of each, and then recommended what he believed would actually deliver the results I wanted. I went with his recommendation and the results are beyond my wildest dreams. I had a tummy tuck, lipo, inner thigh lift, breast lift, and implants - and all of it came out AMAZING. I would have been so disappointed if I just did what I thought I wanted. My scars are pencil thin - almost invisible. I can't believe the change in my legs. My stomach is FLAT. My belly button looks phenomenal. My breasts are perfection. I could not be happier! I have also seen Dr. Placik for Botox and filler and the results are so much better than I've had before. He will also be doing my arm lift next month. I've referred friends and family and they've also been thrilled with their results. He is simply the best! On top of that, his staff is wonderful. They are friendly, responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough about Dr. Placik. No need to search further - just make your appointment. Don't trust your most important asset- your body- to just anyone. Definitely 10 out of 5 stars!

I embarked on my mommy makeover journey in February of 2022 and consulted with 3 Chicagoland area surgeons but once I met Dr. Otto Placik and his staff I knew I had found the perfect match. Dr. Placik did my mommy makeover in February of 2023 and I could not be happier with the results. He’s an incredible artist and surgeon. He also happens to be an awesome person and truly cares for his patients and their outcomes. His staff is friendly welcoming and professional in every way. They make the journey seamless and comfortable. I can’t recommend Dr. Placik enough and I’ve already had 3 friends entrust their mommy makeovers to this incredible surgeon and they are over the moon with their results! I would trust him and his staff with all of my plastic surgery desires and aesthetic goals! Simply the GOAT!

I have known Dr. Placik for over 15 years and needed to replace an implant that had a possible rupture. I was very happy with my original surgery and sad to have to replace my implants. He was exactly as I remember him. He is extremely thorough and always makes you feel like a top priority. He gives extra time and does not rush nor sell you on unnecessary procedures. He explained  my options and made recommendations. I trust him implicitly and would not go to anyone else. Super genuine nice person
