I Can Finally Feel Comfortable in my Own Skin...pain Free! - Dr. kouris and his staff were such a blessing to find. They were professional and comforting. I always felt like I was in good hands.I was diagnosed with Poland’s syndrome at age 16. My first surgery to try and correct my breast was at 17. Then again at 21. After 13 years of slight weight loss/gain, having a child, and just plain ageing my breast starting taking on old characteristics. The n... More
Phenomenal plastic surgeon - Greater Chicago Area - I really can’t express how awesome my experience was with Dr. Kouris and his team. I am fortunate to have a family member that works in healthcare and was able to ask numerous doctors and practitioners for recommendations on a plastic surgeon. Dr. Kouris was overwhelmingly recommended and after our initial consultation I understood why. I felt so confident that I would have a great outcome and I was in the right hands after our first meeting. I had a significant weight loss of 80lbs over a 3 year period and was left with excess skin around my abdomen and a sagging chest. Dr. Kouris performed a tummy tuck and lipo of my chest to flatten out my figure and shape my abdomen. This also included some lipo of my flanks. Despite all of the work that was done I was never in any significant pain or discomfort. I had appointments with Dr. Kouris every week for the first few weeks after the procedure to monitor progress. By the third week I was drain free and able to return to work. I was really pleased at how quickly I was recovering and returning to normal daily activities. Everyone who has a tummy tuck is always concerned about scaring. My steri-strips were removed after three weeks and Dr. Kouris did a phenomenal job on the closure and I could tell that with time no one will be able to tell I had a tummy tuck at all. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a plastic surgeon to make an appointment with Dr. Kouris. More
Breast Augmentation - Lagrange, IL - My 1st set Of breast implants was in 1999, one of my implants ruptured. My original implants never felt natural I always felt like they were a foreign object in my body never were comfortable. I went through 5-6 consultants before I met Dr. Kouris and his team. From my first phone conversation with His nurse Sheila I had a great feeling about his office. Once I met Dr. Kouris and his team I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT I FOUND THE RIGHT DOCTOR AND OFFICE! Dr. Kouris has a great chair side demeanor. He listened to my needs and wants and sat with me and explained the whole process! My experience even got better the next day I met with his PA Jocelin! Wow she was so great really took time with me to find the perfect implants for me and what wanting to achieve! Also Suzy there patient concierge was awesome very friendly and welcoming after my 1st appointment every time I called and said just me first name she knew exactly who I was, she makes you feel like she has known you for years! What a wonderful feeling! My surgery was January 24th! The next day I felt so great yes I had very little discomfort as expected; but my implants feel so natural not like foreign objects! In one day the size shape and comfort has been life changing! It’s amazing how great I feel about the comfort I have I don’t feel like I have implants! I can’t put into words how happy I am and how this experience went! Dr. Kouris ordered several different types of implants and he went with what looked the best! THEY NAILED IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EXPERTISE YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND YOUR KINDNESS! Dr. Kouris and his team went way above my expectations! THANK YOU! Updated on 14 Feb 2018: In my last post I didn’t say how thankful for Dr. Kouris’s nurse Shelia! After my surgery when I was coming out of anesthesia she was one of the faces I saw! It was so reassuring to see a familiar face!! She was there for me before surgery and after! I felt she didn’t leave my side until she knew I was comfortable! She gave me great comfort before and after post op! My first conversation with her when I called for a consult was one of the reasons why I choose Dr. Kouris’s office! Thank you! Again you all are a wonderful team! More
5-Star Care From a 5-Star Surgeon and Staff - I'll Be A Repeat Customer! - I should have had my gynecomastia procedure 10 years ago! Instead, I waited to give myself a 50th birthday present. Since I was a teenager, I've had unwanted male breast tissue making it uncomfortable to go without a shirt. The gynecomastic procedure has really improved my look and confidence. If you have male breasts, you really need to consider getting this procedure. You will not regret it. If you live in the Chicagoland area, it is worth your time to come to Lagrange or Chicago, IL to consult with Dr. Kouris. He and his staff have been 100% 5-star worthy. As a professional working in a hospital, I am very careful and critical when it comes to choosing my health care providers. Dr. Kouris has the training and experience you can trust when it comes to deciding on a surgeon for your procedure. I am so pleased with my results that I have decided to have some additional liposuction done to help finalize the new look I want as I start my 50s! Dr. Kouris will fully explain each step of your procedure in easy to understand terms so you know exactly what to expect. Some procedures can be done in his office and others are done in the Rush University surgery center in Chicago. I had my first procedure done at the surgery center where the staff (from the nurses to the anesthesiologist) was top-notch. As far as the procedure, it was surprisingly easy and mostly pain-free. I seriously never even took a Tylenol post-op! I had the procedure done on a Friday morning and I was home having lunch by 1 pm. I took it easy for the day, but was really doing everything I normally do the next day (except exercise which will have to be delayed for 4-5 weeks). I had some bruising which went away after about one week. The chest area tingles and feels a bit weird, and the nipples are very sensitive, but really no "pain." The swelling is easily controlled with a compression wrap and I wore a compression shirt (one size too small) every day for 5-6 weeks just to keep everything in place and feeling great. Seriously, guys, this is a no-brainer procedure if you want to lose the man boobs. Give yourself a present that will really make a difference in your life. Dr. Kouris and his nurse, Sheila, are ready to help you become the new you. More
Fantastic, Personable and 100% Trustworthy - I've been going to Dr. Kouris for over 13 years. The professionalism from him and his staff are second to none. They're never rushed, always patient and, more importantly, very thoughtful in their approach to any procedure. All results look very natural and he works with you to plan your 'maintenance' as you age. You work together as a team. He will not perform any procedure that looks unnatural and overdone. He does not overcharge or push any extra treatments that you do not need. I would never see anyone else. More
Wonderful experience! - I found Dr Kouris after researching many plastic surgeons in the Chicago area and I have no doubt I made the right choice. During my consultation he just put me at ease -- explaining why I needed to have my existing breast implants removed (something I should have done years ago) and replaced with a new safer implant. He thoroughly explained the procedure and what I could expect post-surgery. I'm thrilled with the results. Dr. Kouris and everyone in his office were terrific from start to finish. My only regret is that I didn't do this years ago. More
Tummy Tuck with Liposuction - Dr. George Kouris and his staff were amazing throughout my whole procedure. They all made sure I understood exactly what was going to be happening, recovery time, medication, and the do’s and dont’s after the procedure. Dr. Kouris and his staff were very supportive and were there for me for any questions or concerns I had. No judgment from him and his staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Kouris and his staff for any procedure. More
Surgical expertise and Aesthetics Artistry - Before I selected Dr. Kouris to do my breast lift/removal of breast implants, I had a consultation with three separate surgeons that were all well known in this field. After leaving each consultation and seeing their work (they were each recommended by a friend), I still did not feel comfortable or confident in their ability to do what was needed. I was so frustrated that I decided to postpone the surgery until I found the right surgeon. A year later Dr. Kouris was recommend by a woman who had a double mastectomy and needed reconstructive surgery. After the consultation, I immediately knew that Dr. Kouris was going to be my surgeon. He provided me with an honest surgical consultation and I immediately trusted him. He and his staff are professional, caring and always friendly. I felt comfortable and prepared during Pre-Op, Surgery and Post-Op. The follow up care has been amazing and Dr. Kouris gave me my confidence back. His surgical expertise and aesthetics artistry is exactly what I was looking for and received. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my procedure and highly recommend Dr. Kouris and his team. More
Very Pleased with Staff and Treatment Recommendation! - I went to Dr Kouris on the recommendation of my GP, seeking a second opinion on the best non-invasive fat reduction/sculpting technique for me. I am fairly fit but just needed a little help in some target areas to reduce excess fat. Both he and his staff were courteous, informative and professional. After meeting with Dr Kouris, I scheduled my next consultation for the procedure and opted... More
Excellent Customer Service - Dr Kouris, nurse Sheila and Suzy were amazing with excellent customer service. I honestly can say I was in the best hands of Dr Kouris and his staff with amazing results. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get surgery. More
I am 50+ yr old professional working mom, Dr. Kouris took 10 years off the age of my face. I had eyelid surgery and a facelift. The results are a miracle, all my friends say it looks like Dr. Kouris did a magic trick. When I meet new people they don't believe my age. Dr. Kouris treated me with the highest level of care, he is an expert surgeon. His staff is a dream to work with, very educated and guided me through the whole process. I wish I could give Dr. Kouris and his caring team more than 5 stars, they deserve it! More

lumpectomy and mastopexy done same day by two different specialists. - I had a small lump in one breast and it bothered me. Sometimes it looked like a 3rd nipple and was tender sometimes. Dermatologist suggested I see a breast specialist. So I made an appointment with Dr. Kosik who suggested I have it removed. Mammogram and ultrasound indicated the lump was benign but removal would be best. I was on board w that plan.During pregnancy I gained 70lbs then I... More

I really appreciate Dr. Kouris' professionalism and his recommendation not to do the lipo/fat transfer. He did not want to do any unnecessary procedures and was honest with me about not having enough fat to make a difference with the transfer so we moved forward with the tummy tuck. And I couldn't be happier. I have had three children and this last one was delivered via c-section. I was left with an ugly scar and a hernia. No matter how much I worked out my stomach was not going back to normal due to the hernia. Dr. Kouris was not only able to repair the hernia and give me a flatter tummy, he also left me with a much neater incision than I had from the c-section. If I need/want any procedures in the future I would definitely return to Dr. Kouris! More

Umbilical Float TT with Full Muscle Plication - After being diagnosed with an umbilical hernia and significant diastasis recti, I decided to go for a tummy tuck to correct the damage done by my large babies (ages 4.5, 3, & 1) and to prevent future hernias. At my consultation I was told I do not have enough lax skin for a full tummy tuck. Instead, my doctor wants to do full abdominal repair with an umbilical float. I really would prefer a full tt, but he insists it wouldn't look good. I'm not positive if he doesn't want to to a small vertical incision where the bb is or if he really feels I can get great results with the mini. I will make clear to him that excess skin above the bb or a too low bb placement are unacceptable. I would rather have a small vertical incision. If the results can be good while keeping my bb, I am happy to take a smaller, lower incision and my natural bb! I'm nervous about the recovery (especially with my little ones), but I will have plenty of help. I figured I have to have hernia surgery regardless, and if I don't fix the muscles while I am having surgery it will be difficult if not impossible to do later. I am so excited (as is my husband)! While I am somewhat fit and small-framed, my tummy has actually never been flat. I eat very well and workout a lot, but I never seem to be able to rid myself of my tummy bulge. I'm 29, and I am hoping I can experience this now that I am done having kids. Maybe I can look my best in my 30's! As for my doctor, Dr. Kouris has a great, gentle bedside manner. He seems concerned about getting natural results but perhaps is not as careful about listening to my specific desires. I believe he is very talented and experienced. He explains things well, and I am hopeful that with enough communication he will be in tune to what I wish to accomplish. He is very caring, and his nurse Shelia seems really knowledgeable. She is experienced working with insurance and is doing so much to ensure insurance covers my hernia repair. She has been with Dr. Kouris for 9 years and said he is the best sewer she's seen. She said he is very particular and trusts him to make me look good. I sure hope she's right! More
