About the Practice

A measured approach to aesthetic surgery


Dr. Michael Nissan is a plastic surgeon practicing in Chicago. He completed his residency in Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas — widely regarded as the foremost plastic surgery training program in the country.

His practice is built on traditional surgical principles, paired with the most current techniques in aesthetic surgery. The aim is not to alter, but to refine: to restore proportion and balance, and to do so in a way that respects each patient’s individual anatomy and character.

Every consultation begins with conversation. The right operation, performed thoughtfully, will look like nothing was done at all.
