I'm only two weeks post-op from my tummy tuck with Dr. Terrasse, but I already know I made the right choice. Throughout the entire process, I've felt genuinely cared for and supported. Dr. Terrasse is professional, skilled, and has an exceptional bedside manner that made me trust the process from day one. His accolades and outstanding reputation are well deserved, but it's his compassion and dedication to his patients that truly set him apart. Highly recommend! read more

The desk staff and aestheticians are lovely. But some are afraid of Dr. Terrasse and I can see why. He's rude and standoffish; seems more interested in making you feel dumb for what you have read or even heard from another Dr. -vs- understanding your wants/needs and making a recommendation. Just not the right bedside manner for this type of work. Listen to the negative reviews - more than one person I know feels the same. read more

Deeply disappointed. I had a confirmed appointment, but when I arrived the office was closed. They did not return my message, so had to call again the next time the office was open. They admitted the appointment 1-hour before me had cancelled and they chose to go home rather than wait for my appointment. When asked how this would be made up to me, was told all they could do was reschedule my appointment. This is not the way clients should be treated. read more

Dr. Terrasse is fantastic. He is a perfectionist in how he takes care of you pre, post and during surgery. His incisions are meticulous and his post-op follow-ups go above and beyond for treating the wounds, checking on progress and giving feedback on post-op care. I can't imagine the reviews saying he was rude or dismissive. My experience was so opposite. He is a delight to work with and gives you his utmost attention never feeling rushed and answering all questions. I have used Dr. Terrasse for two procedures after a large weight loss. A couple of my friends have also used him. I would highly recommend him. read more

I scheduled an appointment for a spa facial and Botox. They were 15 min late to take me into my appintment. When I got into the treatment room, the woman said she doesn't do spa facials and I'd be done in 45 minutes. Once I was done with my "medical" facial, they told me the doctor could not inject me with Botox because his surgery ran late and did I want to wait for him for 30 minutes? I paid $225 for 45 min. And I didn't get my Botox done.... Don't waste your time here. read more

I absolutely love everything about this spa. The look and feel is upscale, clean and beautiful. Everyone is professional and very welcoming. I have received several services here and honestly. I would have a hard time going Anywhere else. My skin has never looked or feel better. Angela, has such a healing and caring way to give treatments. She always explains what she is doing, what to expect and what I need to do next. Absolutely best and most advance spa. I just cannot say enough about my results. read more

agree with other reviewers opinions - I found Dr Terrasse to be completely dismissive and rude. He could not take responsibility for his botched work and instead was demeaning and actually ridiculing, I've never experienced anything like it. Left his office completely stunned by his attitude and words. Could not believe a supposedly respected physician acted like that. And now I still need to deal with the aftermath of his "work". read more

I had the best experience at Dr. Terrasse's office. I needed a medical procedure done that I found difficult and embarrassing to discuss with anyone. However, Dr. Terrasse and his staff made me feel extremely comfortable about it and as such, I went forward with the procedure. My results not only exceeded my expectations but greatly lifted my confidence. Not only did Dr. Terrasse do an exceptional job, but he listened and answered all my questions (and I can ask a lot of questions). I've gone back to Dr. Terrasse's office since my initial procedure for facials and absolutely love how my skin looks (I cannot emphasize this enough)!! Anne at Dr. Terrasse's office does a fantastic job with facials!! My skin has always given me issues but Anne knew exactly what worked best on my skin. I truly believe my skin looks the best it has in a decade!! Lastly, Dr. Terrasse and his staff genuinely care about the happiness of his patients and that's extremely important to me. read more

Terrasse Aesthetic Surgery - I love that Dr. Terrasse's office stays up-to-date!! - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - Lake Forest, Illinois

I love the office staff and Dr. Terrasse. I was surprised that a previous reviewer, who described themself as quiet and sensitive, had a hard time with his personality. I'm also very quiet and I had a great interaction with dr. Terasse. He was completely kind, understanding, and caring. He took all the time needed to explain and answer questions, and made me feel totally at ease. I really enjoyed my visit here and I highly recommend this office! read more

Best office ever! 2 weeks ago I had Botox and filler and I just love my results. I have been to other doctors and have never had an outcome like this. Dr. Terrasse took the time to thoroughly explain everything to me and what I could expect. He has a very caring bedside manner. I plan on having my upper eyes done next. The spa is wonderful too. Their products truly have helped my complexion. Very pleased! read more

I went here and saw Kara for a BBL treatment because I've always had rosy cheeks and sun spots on my face I wanted to get rid of. She did such an amazing job! The whole experience in the office was great and my skin looks awesome. read more

Dr. Terrasse is rude and short. I found his initial consultation slow and steady, and it seemed he was detail oriented. But his actual interaction during execution of the service, quick and short. But then he did not read his own notes for the follow-up appointment, and as a result, the results were short of goal and it could have been avoided. Mostly, it was his reaction to his own shortcoming, he was dismissive and suggested it was a blame game. He is expected to perform the treatment with the intended objectives. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Terrasse and his staff. I just finished my last follow-up from my breast reduction surgery one year ago. Dr. Terrasse is the kindest, most compassionate physician. He was there every step of the way. He even met me on a Sunday when that was the only day my husband could drive me to an appointment. His office staff is also amazing. They made everything so easy for me and I look great. I feel healthy and all my aches are gone. I highly recommend Dr. Terrasse. I wish I could give him 100 stars! read more

I went to Dr. Terrassee for my breast reduction and it has been life changing. I am only 5 days post surgery and I look and feel amazing. His office staff went above and beyond to make sure my procedure was approved and covered by insurance. I am 32 years old,145 lb and was a size H. I needed advice on what cup size to go down to and he advised going to a full C. This was the perfect choice for me. Dr. Terrassee Always made me feel comfortable. He's very professional and I felt prepared and in good hands the entire time. My breasts are finally proportional to my body and I couldn't be happier. When I saw Dr. Terrassee after my surgery, I cried and hugged him because he's truly changed my life for the better. I feel so much relief. He's a true artist and master of his craft, plastic surgery. I owe him everything and couldn't be happier with my results. read more

Wow! And it only took Dr. Terrasse or whoever from his office is writing this review, more than ONE YEAR to respond to my review. It is definitely a shame when surgeons become defensive, rather than take ownership or even apologize for their mistakes. I stand behind my review. Don't be fooled by these empty words. I am a living example of how things can go terribly wrong when plastic surgeons become over confident and refuse to admit their shortcomings. I was a patient of Dr. Terrasse who now has to suffer the consequences of believing in what he told me and what he did to my body. I have visible scares and deformities that will always be a reminder. To each their own ... but you've been warned. read more

Unfortunately my voice was not heard here. I felt I was VERY clear with what I wanted. I even went the night before the surgery to show a power point presentation with girls with the nose I wanted. I even asked to let me know if he wasn't comfortable or confident in giving me this nose. I would maybe have other procedures done with Dr Terrasse, but I would defiantly not go here for a nose job. Everyday I wake up and still don't like what I see in the mirror. Every day I regret that I paid for this nose job in cash, (your welcome) before the surgery, with my the money I got from graduation and also my years of saving. Now, I'm still paying off student loans, now planning for a wedding & still hating my nose. I specifically wanted my nose SMALLER, tip LIFTED and not DROOPY. . As you can see, it's still the SAME size & droopy. It's very upsetting when my mom, boyfriend, sister & those who know me best say they can't tell a difference except maybe slightly from the side. I didn't go in for the side I came in for my droopy and larger nose. I came to a breaking point last week after I just got my engagement photos done. Now I'm planning on getting my nose done AGAIN sometime before the wedding because I can't stand the way it looks in photos. His pricing was the same for all other Chicago doctors I saw.. not like I was getting a discount or something for him. I personally think for what I got, I should have paid half the price because I feel like he got half the job done. My girlfriend got hers done a week before mine with Dr Shah, and she looks great. I'm so so sad that I have to again save up for another procedure and very upset that I feel like I threw my money in the trash and also had to take off work to recover last year. The reason I'm MOST upset is I did EVERYTHING on my part. Paid in FULL on TIME. I did what you asked of me, and I feel like I got the crap end of the deal. Jokes on me, you get to live in a mansion in lake forest and I get to still have a huge ugly nose that I thought you were going to fix, not fix 35% of it (simply the side) however it's still crooked regardless. I wish you would have referred me somewhere else or let me know you probably weren't able to give me what I wanted. I would appreciate half of my money back or fix my nose. Thanks. read more

I have know Dr. Terasse since 1994. There are no words to di ribs this great man. Recently, I endured a dog bite to my face. Dr. Terraces came to the ER per my request. I wish I can post the dramatic results. I trust him with my daughters and all who I love. Thank -you for being in my life. read more

I wanted to share my amazing experience with Dr. Terrasse and his staff. I recently had a breast augmentation - Dr. Terrasse thoroughly explained the sugery along with the risks and benfits. I was able to get an idea of how I would look by photo imaging which really helped. Dr. Terrasse was excellent, his bed side manner was so kind. I am grateful I chose him after seeing 2 other plastic surgeons. He and his office were the right choice for me. I will be returning for Botox soon! read more

Dr. Terrasse evaluated several lesions on my nose to ensure they were not indicative of skin cancer. He also performed outpatient surgery to remove a large but benign mass at the base of my skull. He was very thorough and patient while explaining the procedures at the initial consultation. On the day of the procedure he was attentive to ensure that I experienced a minimum of discomfort. Postoperative instructions were clear and thorough. Dr. Terrasse has a personable and attentive staff who also went out of their way to ensure my comfort. I can recommend his practice without reservation. It's where I would take any member of my family if the need arose. read more

I had a breast reduction done by Dr Terrasse Aug 29 18. From day one, he and his staff has very professional, prompt,attentive, and very courteous. My sugery went great, and so far things are looking and going really well. I have had to call the office/Dr. Terrasse Numerous times with questions and concerns, and each and every time they have been very responsive kind and accommodating. Even on the doctors time off, he responded to me within minutes. I don't know her title, but i think...his nurse Arelia, is just great...She does so much in that office and does it with a smile. She is genuinely kind! I have had SO many problems half my life because of my breast, and now because of Dr. Terrasse and his staff, my life is changed for the better!!! I am very satisfied with the reults and I recommend him to everyone read more

My experience was bad. Please be careful and research well before considering this doctor. this doctor has great reviews thru majority of the searches. The breast reduction surgery is not doctor's specialty. The outcome is far from perfect and I consider a new surgery. Be very careful and read all avail reviews before you consider this doctor. The reviews are altered and bad ones are hidden. I wish I can put negative stars. read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience with Dr. Terrasse. I least expected this based on the positive reviews, but didn't see any related to fillers. He clearly doesn't want to waste his time doing non surgical procedures. He never smiled and was rude and very condescending which was difficult for someone quiet and sensitive like me to take, and was surprising given his years of experience. read more

Dr. Terrasse is an excellent doctor, and I have been exceedingly pleased with the work he has done. I highly recommend him.

I had a great experience with Dr. Terrasse and am very pleased with the results of my surgery. I would highly recommend him. I had a very positive experience and will certainly be referring friends and family to him in the future. read more

I am so glad my girlfriend suggested Dr. Terrasse for non invasive facial treatments. I felt no pressure, just honest options. Yes, I know surgery will provide longer lasting and more significant results, but he took the time (and showed me photos) to explain fillers and Botox- there's so many types- and pick the right options for my wishes and problems. We (he and his aesthetician, Anne,) came up with a doable plan and I'm so excited! I love how I look! read more

I never write reviews but after my experience I knew I had to share my outstanding experience. I came in to see Dr. Terrasse as a new patient. It was an emergency as a dog bit my face and I needed stitches. First of all the service was outstanding. Being that the doctor was booked solid for the day they managed to get me seen within a half hour. When I arrived the place has such a warm feeling it calmed me from me crying in pain. They immediately put me in a room that was pre set up for my needs. The patient examination chair headrest was something I've never experienced in any other doctor office. It was the most comfortable headrest. Every doctor office should have that head rest! It's the smallest details that made this place so amazing. Things you don't ever experience in other doctor visits. I don't know about anyone else but I'm terrified of needles. Knowing I would need a injection to numb under the lip (the dog bite split my upper lip in half). I didn't feel a thing when Dr. Terrasse preformed the injection. I thought my face was going to never look the same but the moment he finished and I saw myself in the mirror I could never repay him for the unbelievable work he had done. Thank you Dr. Terrasse for everything! You truly have a gift!! read more

In reference to my last post, the office has since "credited" me for the credit card service charge which I was overpaid. I decided to apply it toward product that I later bought when I had a med facial. Positive experience there as well! read more

I gave this office a low rating because they were very rude. I brought my daughter to them as a referral and I came in with her two children to introduce her to this office. They made us wait 45 minutes before the Dr. would see her. After the wait for so long their receptionist was upset with me because she was afraid that the children would get their furniture duty. The Dr. is very fuzzy when it concerns his furniture, but no apology to us for being late on a procedure that only takes 15 minutes. one hour later I could'nt wait to get out of there. read more

incredibly rude front office staff, don't waste your money or your time there are better places with more pleasant people.
