Dr. Pey-Yi Kevin Lin Reviews

Perfect results & top tier comfortable breast augmentation

"I got a breast augmentation with Dr. Lin as my surgeon back in September 2022. I never imagined the experience could be as straightforward, comfortable, and seamless as it was. Dr. Lin's nurse helped me choose the right size and type of implant, and was extremely patient and helpful throughout. She also was very thorough in walking through the surgery day preparations and the recovery process. If I had any questions or concerns, she made her direct phone number available - which was both convenient and comforting.
Dr. Lin was consistently professional, clear, and fostered a safe and comfortable experience. He made sure I knew exactly what to expect and addressed any concerns I had. Knowing I was in safe, experienced hands was a priority of mine and Dr. Lin delivered. Not only did the process exceed my expectations, but I am extremely pleased with my results. I was going for a natural aesthetic, and the results are as natural as I could imagine. Could not recommend Dr Lin enough if you are looking to get a BA!"

Amazed by my result (TT & 360 Lipo)- I even look like I got a BBL

"I am one month post tummy tuck and 360 liposuction and I couldn’t be more happy with my investment. I did my due diligence to research about plastic surgeons and their results and patient satisfaction to get the best result possible cause we’re talking about our bodies here. I found Dr. Kevin Lin after 4 others. Jenny the RN and patient coordinator was so pleasant and responsive to all my queries. The virtual assessment was such a pleasant experience that I finalized my decision right there and then. Jenny booked my surgery on the first available date April 13. Pre and post op instructions were clear and Jenny was there thru call or text if I had any questions, reassured me and allayed my post op anxiety. Surgical centre staff were amazing. I never had issues with follow up appointments. I and the rest of my friends and families were so happy with my result one month post op. I even look like I got a BBL since Dr Kevin Lin is well know for Lipo sculpture. Please check our Dr. Kevin Lin of Chicago Breast and Body. It will be the best investment you’ll ever make for yourself."

Brazilian butt lift 3 days post-op - the best experience!

"I will honestly say Dr.Lin and his team hands down have the best bedside manners I have EVER received. Not only was Dr.Lin attentive but I shared something with him weeks prior and he remembered. I had 3 other consultations and Jenny made sure I understood everything and went over the paperwork 2x. She wasn’t pushy, she wanted me to take my time and make sure it was my decision only. I rarely do reviews but I promised them I would. I appreciate them so much, and the experience here was by far the BEST! 0 complaints"

Dr. Lin is a true artist

"I did a lot of research before deciding on a doctor for my BBL and after much consideration I decided on Dr. Lin. The entire staff at the office, as well as the surgical center, were so thorough in explaining the entire process to me. Dr. Lin answered any and all questions I had his patient coordinator, Jenny, made me feel at ease. After the surgery Jenny continuously checked up on me and made me feel very safe and cared about. I even got to return to the office to have some of the fluid drained post surgery. I highly recommend Chicago Breast and Body and Dr. Lin!"

Dr. Lin has more than reached my expectations

I had my tummy tuck with lipo 360 in March, and a breast augmentation in September with Dr lin. He has more than reached my expectations, and I could not be happier! I went in after having three beautiful babies, and he has helped me love myself again! Every person in their office is so welcoming and accommodating. Dr Lin’s nurse has been nothing but outstanding just like him. I love being able to reach out at any time with any questions or concerns I have.

Highly Recommend Dr. Lin

"I was really excited to get a BBL and I got everything done super quickly and given very extensive tips and instructions for pre and after care. I saw Dr. Lin at my consultation, pre-op, and post op so I got to actually speak to my surgeon multiple times and really talk about exactly what I wanted. Surgery was super smooth and I absolutely love my results already and I’m only 2 weeks post-op. Definitely recommend Dr. Lin I didn’t think it was possible to look this good even through surgery."

Great Experience with Dr Lin

Dr Lin is so nice and calm. I did a virtual consult first. He took the time to talk about the procedure, we talked about the photos I submitted, and what my expectations were. At my pre-op, I went to the downtown office and it was very nice and clean. The staff is very well organized! They even call to remind you about your upcoming appointments. Surgery day was at the surgical center which was also very clean. Everyone (e.g., nurse, anesthesiologist, assistants, etc) was very professional and nice. The anesthesiologist was thorough and took the time to discuss my past experiences with anesthesia which made me feel very safe because he paid extra attention to details. Dr Lin also came to see me before surgery to talk about our game plan, to answer additional questions, and to mark me up. After surgery, I woke up to someone next to my bed— I was never alone. They helped give me juice with a straw and someone was always there until my husband arrived to pick me up. Recovery was pretty easy for the most part. His team is always just a text or phone call away if you ever need anything. A few days after surgery, the surgical center called to see how I was doing. In addition to my BA, I also had a nipple reduction and they look so good I could cry (happy tears of course)! I’m still in recovery but the new boobs are doing well! My best friend is getting her BA done by Dr Lin soon, too! And another friend is planning on getting other work done at Chicago Breast and Body simply because of how well organized and attentive the staff is. Highly recommend!
