Several years ago, a friend of mine was referred to Dr. Konior by notable Chicago Eye Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Robert Weiss. My friend's nose was collapsing and needed to have it rebuilt. Dr. Weiss gave us two referrals for the procedure. We visited the "most notable" nose surgeon in Chicago (and the US) and after enduring the visit, (his first name is Dean!) we almost ran out of his office, he was so arrogant and ridiculously expensive. We then went to see Dr. Konior in Oakbrook. What an HUGE difference we found in personality and our confidence in him. He explained that he would do the same procedure—in the exact same way—as the other surgeon. Dr. Konior was at least at one-third the price and the procedure was done in Dr. Konior's ultra-modern surgery suite in his office. I wouldn't be typing this if he didn't do anything less than an amazing job.
After my friend's nose procedure, he then had hair restoration transplant surgery. He was a difficult case, to say the least. Dr. Konior fully explained the expected results. He was so wrong! It looked so much better than he said it would and you would NEVER know that he'd ever had anything done. I don't know how he did it, but his work was a masterpiece.
Finally, after watching my friend's successes with Dr. Konior, I asked Dr. Konior about "doing a little something" to fix my sagging face. I had total confidence in him. I too had a difficult case, especially due to excessive skin in my forehead. I had been advised by two other surgeons that a forehead lift was not a good option for me, though my forehead looked "heavy" over my eyes. I hated it! One surgeon jokingly told me that there was an antiquated procedure called a "Farmers Cut" where basically the skin is cut directly from your forehead and a scar spans your forehead. Dr. Konior advised me that a "forehead lift" would ruin my hairline as well. I asked him about the "Farmer's Cut" and he looked shocked. He asked me if I could tolerate a scar across my forehead for a few months. I laughed and told him I could cover it! "Most surgeons don't have the skill or confidence to do such a procedure"-that came from the referring surgeon. Dr. Konior did.
He did the procedure, a "mini-facelift" and the Farmer's Cut. The scar was there but the results were stunning. I tolerated the scar by covering it with concealer for a few months but the scar itself looks exactly like the natural lines one has in their forehead. NO ONE has ever guessed that I've ever had anything done and certainly don't know that's a scar across my forehead! Honesty, I look at least 10 years younger than my actual age. If you're considering facial plastic surgery or hair restoration, you will be well served to see Dr. Konior. One suggestion—get it done sooner than later! Don't wait to have your surgery done. Have it done when you're younger, rather than older for a more natural result. I had the work done when I was 45. Couldn't be more pleased. Do yourself a favor and see Dr. Konior if you're having anything done concerning your face or hair.
