Dr. John Q. Cook

Dr. John Q. Cook is recognized as a Top Doctor in plastic surgery by Castle Connolly, the official source of peer-reviewed Top Doctors in all 50 states. This award acknowledges Dr. Cook’s deep commitment to medical excellence and service. He provides his patients with a caring environment and with a team of trusted clinicians who use their expertise to put patient care and safety first.

Dr. Cook, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is the founder and medical director of the Whole Beauty® Institute in Chicago and Winnetka. His surgical techniques enhance each person’s intrinsic beauty and avoid results that appear artificial.

Dr. Cook routinely lectures at national and international conferences about his advanced surgical techniques for facial rejuvenation under local anesthesia, breast surgery, and body contour. As an independent plastic surgeon on the faculty of Rush University Medical Center for over 25 years, he has helped train plastic surgeons who have gone on to become leaders in their field.

Facial rejuvenation surgery is a major focus of Dr. Cook’s practice. He has performed several thousand facial procedures in his career and has combined fat transfer with face-lifting for over 25 years. Dr. Cook is also recognized for his innovative approach to breast-lift surgery, in which he repositions breast tissue to create lift and add volume, so that implants often are unnecessary. His practice was also one of the first in the Midwest to integrate advanced techniques of surgical and nonsurgical body contour.

The Whole Beauty® team is integral to Dr. Cook’s practice. We believe that patients are best served when they are offered the complete spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical solutions. Every one of our highly skilled clinicians delivers treatments that are individualized and follow Dr. Cook’s principle of naturalism.
