Dr. Kevin Lin
Board-certified plastic surgeon
Dr. Kevin Lin is a board-certified plastic surgeon at Chicago Breast & Body Aesthetics, focused on breast and body contouring. His approach starts with your anatomy: your frame, your skin and the tissue you have to work with. From there he plans for shape and proportion, aiming for a result that reads as natural rather than done.
Patients describe him as calm and kind. Jenny, his patient care coordinator, stays with you from your first consultation through recovery, and her name comes up in review after review.
