VERIFIED PATIENT REVIEWS
Absolutely Amazing
I don’t even know where to begin with how absolutely amazing Dr.T and his staff are. I had a breast augmentation on March 5 2020, and just everything from the start has been smooth and effortless. I never felt like just another number, I was taken care of every step of the way. He is warm kind honest and will point you in the right direction, and it’s so awesome to have my own nurse anytime I need to get ahold of to answer questions. He is a true artist and I am so happy with the outcome, look, feel everything im obessed. It was an honor to have work done by him, if you are interested in any type of cosmetic procedures don’t look any further.
I Love my Experience
My experience with Dr T was amazing!!! Though I seen him in Florida, I am glad I did! It was Back in 2013 for Breast Augmentation! I can Not Complain! Omg its going on 7 years this 3/21, and I must Say I STILL LOVE MY BREAST!!!!
Dr. Truong has given me life-changing results
Dr. Truong has given me life-changing results. He did a wonderful job on my Lipo360 and my confidence has sky-rocketed since. I see muscle tone in my abdomen at the gym now; I knew it was hiding under there! Great bedside manner and a very talented surgeon.
I Couldn’t Be Happier with my Results and Couldn’t Have Selected a Better Plastic Surgeon!
I recently had a tummy tuck procedure which was performed by Dr. T only about 3 weeks ago. I feel & look great! I can’t express how ecstatic I truly am! I’m in my 30’s with no kids, struggling with weight since I was a teenager. My weight fluctuating over the years caused me to have a pouch (very unattractive). I’m still on the plus size but a hanging belly made me look even heavier and impacted my self-esteem. Before I went to Dr. T for a consult. I reached out to several of the popular Instagram doctors aboard. I watched countless videos of other girls who shared their experiences having surgeries in other countries. I received several cheap quotes compared to the prices in Chicago and other U.S cities. But I just couldn’t risk traveling aboard and jeopardizing my health to save money. I’m writing a long review because prior to my surgery and even before my consultation. I searched endlessly, for honest reviews from other patients who had gotten a tummy tuck and were in the same predicament as myself. It’s only been 3 weeks but my body has transformed and my self-confidence has increased. I’m looking forward to the final results which do take several months.
The recovery has been really easy! Please don’t be disheartened by the scary and painful experiences shared on social media and YouTube. I understand everyone’s body is not the same and each of us will have a different experience with our recovery. With that being sad, having an experienced, board certified, and a gifted plastic surgeon makes all the difference. Honestly, hardest part of the recovery was not being able to drive for the first 2 weeks. Driving restrictions will be given by all plastic surgeons who perform tummy tucks. I was hesitant because it was my surgery and also because of the cost, but Dr. T’s prices are fair, affordable and competitive in the Chicago market. I was not pressured into getting the surgery, my questions were thoroughly answered with kindness and patience by Dr. T, and his wonderful assistant Monika. I asked countless redundant questions and spent a great deal of time with both of them before finalizing my decision. The entire staff is so professional, nonjudgmental, genuinely kind and caring.
Final thoughts, it might be cheaper to travel aboard but it’s not worth the risk. I made decision to undergo my surgery ever with Dr. T, not only because of his merits, academic accomplishments and amazing procedure results and also his swag, but because of his of aura. It’s hard to explain but you will sense it when you meet him, he’s honest, patient, kind and most importantly he’s ethical. He doesn’t recommend unnecessary procedures or enforces changes he wants to see on you. He will help and guide you in achieving the body you have envisioned for yourself. My only regret is not getting a tummy tuck sooner with him. It’s embarrassing but I’m sharing my pictures because I had desperately searched for body types like my own, who had gotten the procedure and wanted to see their results. I hope my very long review helps anyone considering tummy tuck. If you’re in Chicago meet Dr. T if you’re interested in the tummy tuck, it’ll be totally worth it! Always read others review on Realself, never thought I’d be writing one too! 🙂
Loving my BBL Results! 2 months Post Op
I did a LOT of research to find the perfect surgeon who could deliver natural, yet superior results. I wanted a BBL that didn’t look like I had an obvious surgery done, but that would improve my figure and give me that beautiful hourglass shape along with lifting and filling out my sagging behind. I knew from my first consultation with Dr.Truong & by the looks of his portfolio, that he would be the one to do my surgery! I brought along photos of what I personally wanted to achieve and he told me exactly what he would need to do to achieve those results. I gladly traveled from out of state to have my BBL surgery by Dr. Truong and it was the best decision I’ve ever made!! Everyone at his office and the morning of my surgery were so nice and accommodating. I can not recommend him enough and I think my before and after photos speak volumes! He clearly is highly skilled in lipo sculpting and fat transfer! If you have been thinking about this procedure and are on the fence, you just need to do it! You will be in great hands with Dr. Truong & his staff. Your confidence will undoubtably be boosted after this procedure; Mine sure was, and I’m absolutely thrilled with my results!
What is a Breast Augmentation?
Breast Augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a procedure in which implants are placed in order to change the size and shape of the breasts. In some cases, however, breast augmentation can also be considered a “restorative” procedure in which breasts that have lost volume or shape due to weight changes, pregnancy, or other causes are restored to a more youthful state. A breast augmentation procedure is also referred to as “breast enhancement,” “breast implants,” and “breast enlargement”.
Why get a Breast Augmentation?
Women may choose to get a breast augmentation for different reasons, but the most common reason is to enlarge the current size of their breasts. The decision to undergo breast augmentation and the surgeon you choose are very important, but the decisions don’t stop there. There are many other factors to consider and choices to make regarding this surgery. During your consultation, your surgeon should discuss these options with you and fully educate you on every option so that you and your surgeon can make the decisions that are right for you.

CHICAGO BREAST AUGMENTATION FAQ
Here are some of the most common questions when considering Breast Enhancement surgery

What about social stigma?
Breast Augmentation is the most popular of all procedures
Breast augmentation isn’t just for swimsuit models & celebrities, it’s the #1 selling procedure in America, and has been since 2006.
Every year around 300,000 women get breast augmentation (according to the latest ASPS stats), which means any stigma is rapidly disappearing.
Is a breast augmentation a waste of money?
Scientists say attractive people make 12% more on average
An article from Business Insider reports, “good-looking people make about 12% more money than less appealing folks, and that attractive real-estate brokers bring in more money than their less attractive peers.”
Scientists say there are 3 reasons for this:
1) Employers assume (wrongly) that physically attractive employees are more capable.
2) Physically attractive workers tend to be more confident, and with higher confidence they command higher wages.
3) Physically attractive workers have better social skills when interacting with their bosses, which leads to higher wages.
However we feel about this article, the fact remains that an investment in your attractiveness has a big return on invest financially.
A 12% raise for a person making $50,000/year is $6,000/year.
Does breast augmentation surgery hurt?
Most women resume normal activity in 2-4 days
Although this surgery should not be considered trivial, the vast majority of woman have pain only for the first few days and can resume normal activities within 2-4 days. One of Dr. Truong’s patient’s says:
By the next evening I was at the mall! I didn't need my pain meds anymore either! I am very satisfied with my results.
Dr. Truong also has a special technique to reduce post-op pain. He is careful to minimize blunt pulling of the tissue, avoid contact with the cartilage and ribs, and precisely control bleeding.
Will I lose nipple sensation after breast implant surgery?
It is extremely rare.
There can be some loss of sensation in the breast if you go from very small to very large. However, major loss of sensitivity only occurs in about 5% of patients, and of those most recover sensitivity over time.
Should I wait to have breast surgery until after I have kids?
Surprisingly, the answer is not necessarily.
Breast augmentation has been shown to reduce and even prevent breast ptosis (or drooping) after pregnancy and breast feeding. This is due to the fact the implant provides a framework for the breast to hold onto as it goes through changes associated with pregnancy and breast-feeding.
If you wait until after those changes take place then there is a good chance you may end up needing a breast-lift, a much more costly procedure with more scars associated.
Breast Augmentation is “preventative” for post-partum breast deflation and drooping. Since implants also don’t usually affect ability to breast feeding, and pose no risk to pregnacy, there’s really no reason to wait.
Will breast implants affect my ability to breast feed my baby?
Breast feeding and breast implants are 100% compatible
Because the milk ducts are not blocked or disrupted in any way, nursing is compatible with your breast implants and you should be able to breastfeed your baby.
Breast implant placement: Under the muscle, over the muscle?
Under the muscle or dual plane is usually best!
The placement of the implants in relation to the pectoralis muscle largely depends on the patient’s existing anatomy and sometimes by surgeon preference or training.
Dr. Truong has been trained in all the approaches and placements and will discuss all the options, making the recommendation based on your individual anatomy. In his experience, most patients do best with a submuscular or dual-plane placement due to the need for extra coverage of the implant in upper pole of the implant.

Which implant looks & feels most natural?
Silicone Mentor Memory Gel Implants.
Silicone gel implants are made of a cohesive gel that mimics natural breast tissue in the way it feels and behaves. It is not a liquid so even if it ruptures, it will not “flow” out. They are also less likely to show rippling which can be a problem in very thin individuals. There are several different silicone implant sizes and shapes offered at Chicago Breast & Body Aesthetics depending on your desired outcome and your surgeon's recommendation.
- MENTOR® MemoryGel® Breast Implant
- MENTOR® MemoryGel® Xtra Breast Implant
- MENTOR® MemoryGel® BOOST™ Breast Implant

Prior to gaining approval by the FDA, Mentor MemoryGel implants were subject to rigorous studies on thousands of patients. To date, there has been no concrete evidence that MemoryGel™ implants pose health risks like cancer, collagen vascular diseases, or chronic pain syndromes.
