You've circled a procedure for months and every Chicago practice's before-and-after gallery looks equally polished. We set the marketing aside and pulled the real Google numbers instead: ratings, review counts, and what actual patients say about their consultations and results.

Short answer: Chicago Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology ranks #1 on volume with 1,429 reviews at 4.8 stars, the largest track record on this list. Bloom Plastic Surgery and Sammy Sinno, MD both sit at a perfect 5.0, with Sinno known specifically for rhinoplasty.

Our take: It leads on scale, not a perfect score, its 4.8 average sits slightly below several smaller practices on this list. If you want dermatology and cosmetic surgery under one roof with a large public track record, it's the safe volume pick.

4.6584 Google reviews

How we score these surgeons

Rating is the live average pulled straight from Google. Review volume measures how many real patients left one, ranked against every plastic surgeon we checked in Chicago. Confidence blends the two, so a 5.0 from a few hundred people scores differently than a 4.8 from over a thousand. Recency tracks how fresh the most recent reviews are. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

What does plastic surgery cost in Chicago? (2026)

None of the five practices above publish fixed public pricing, and cost varies enormously by procedure, surgeon, anesthesia type, and facility fees. This is a decision worth pricing out through an actual in-person consultation rather than any published range, since a quoted number without an exam isn’t meaningful for surgical work.

Plastic surgeons across Chicago

These five practices cluster in River North, the Gold Coast, and the Magnificent Mile, all within a short drive of Lincoln Park, Streeterville, and the Loop. If you’re searching for a plastic surgeon near me in Chicago, all five are accepting new patient consultations.

What to ask before you book a plastic surgery consultation

  • Is the surgeon board-certified in plastic surgery specifically, not just a related field?
  • What’s included in the quoted price: surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, facility fee, and follow-up visits?
  • How many times have you performed this exact procedure?
  • What does a realistic recovery timeline look like for my situation?
  • Who do I contact if I have concerns during recovery, and how quickly do they respond?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five surgeons?

We pulled every plastic surgeon listed on Google in Chicago, then ranked by a mix of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing.

How often is this updated?

We last verified this data in July 2026. Ratings and review counts shift over time, so check a practice’s current Google listing before booking a consultation.

Should I choose a surgeon based on Google reviews alone?

No. Reviews are a useful starting point, but a proper consultation, verifying board certification, and asking to see relevant before-and-after cases matter more for a surgical decision.

What’s the difference between a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon?

In the US, plastic surgeon usually implies board certification through a recognized plastic surgery board, while cosmetic surgeon isn’t a protected title in the same way. It’s worth confirming credentials directly.

The bottom line

Chicago Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology is the safe default on scale, with the largest and longest public review history of the five. If you know you want rhinoplasty specifically, Sammy Sinno or Anil Shah’s specialist focus is worth the extra research. Whichever you choose, treat the consultation itself as the real test, not the star rating.
