Practice Philosophy

Patients of Whole Beauty™ Institute appreciate our naturalistic philosophy that is aligned with Dr. Cook's core values. Dr. Cook adheres to these principles across the continuum of care that we provide at our convenient plastic surgery centers in Winnetka and Chicago, from advanced surgical procedures at a state-of-the-art surgicenter or at Rush University Medical Center to quick recovery procedures performed under local anesthesia in the office setting to carefully designed treatments in a Medi-Spa setting. Dr. Cook’s in-depth experience enables him to focus on the nuances and subtleties of strategy so that he can offer each patient a range of choices that suit his or her individual goals and ability to take time off from busy personal or professional schedules.

SURGICAL PROCEDURES

Many of Chicago's leaders in business and society come to Dr. Cook for facial refinement surgery and facial rejuvenation surgery.  Dr. Cook's lifelong study of aesthetics is based on a philosophy that emphasizes a careful study of beauty in natural forms.  This respect for intrinsic or natural beauty is at the heart of our approach to cosmetic plastic surgery. 

Our portfolio of procedures for facial rejuvenation allows us to offer a variety of approaches for each expressive zone of the face.  A face lift is analyzed by each region: the forehead, the brow, the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid, the cheek, the jaw border, the neck, and the lips, we have developed procedures that respect natural form.  We have a range of techniques of forehead lift, brow lift, upper blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery), lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid surgery), cheek lift or mid-face lift, jaw border lift, and neck lift.  We have extensive experience in Facial Volume Balancing™ with the use of autologous fat transfer or facial injectables.

At Whole Beauty™ Institute plastic surgery centers in Chicago and Winnetka, Dr. Cook extends the range of possibilities for his patients with a carefully selected portfolio of advanced medical aesthetic procedures. These include Botox®, fillers such as Dysport®, Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvederm™, and Radiesse®, the most advanced techniques of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for treatment of uneven skin color, the latest Starlux® technology for permanent hair reduction and fractional resurfacing for reduction of fine surface lines. We also offer Silk Peel® Dermalinfusion, an extensive portfolio of medical grade peels, and a selection of high grade medical products including our own line of Whole Beauty™ Institute products and Environ®.   

Patients who come to Whole Beauty™ Institute benefit from Dr. Cook’s experience, artistic sensibilities, and healthy skepticism. They know that Dr. Cook has selected from what rightly appears to the patient as a confusing and always growing array of products and services. As in the surgical end of the practice, Dr. Cook’s experience is the patient’s best ally, “Chemical peels, Lasers, Pulsed Light, and injectables are ways to help my patients and to extend to the value that I can offer them.” Dr. Cook traveled to Europe in order to evaluate a range of products and therapies that were not yet available in the United States.
