Chicago Facelift lead surgeon

Our Lead Surgeon

Benjamin t. lemelman, MD

Our lead surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon with fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery from one of the nation's foremost academic medical centers. His practice is focused on delivering the highest quality care with safety at its core — a deliberate choice that reflects a commitment to always doing right by his patients.

A Philosophy of Restraint

The goal of facial surgery is not transformation — it's restoration. The finest results are those that leave no trace of surgery, only the impression of a face that looks rested, vital, and entirely itself. This requires not only technical precision, but the judgment to know what works for each face.

Every Procedure, Personally Performed

Every surgical procedure at Chicago Facelift is performed personally by our lead surgeon — never delegated to an assistant or associate. This is a non-negotiable standard of care that we believe every patient deserves, and one that distinguishes our practice from larger centers with high turnover and incentives to treat as many patients as possible. In our concierge practice, no client is relegated to a simple MRN (medical record number). Our patients are thinkers, movers, and trendsetters. They were influencers before that was even a job.
