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, patient safety, and high-quality care. His practice offers patients a complete spectrum of surgical and non-surgical solutions in a caring and safe environment where he and his team of clinicians work closely together as trusted advisors to meet the aesthetic goals of every patient with beautiful, natural-looking results.

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. In fact, most of his facelift procedures are now performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Cook is also recognized for his innovative technique in breast lift surgery—the structural mastopexy—that creates lift and volume, often without the need for breast implants. His practice was also one of the first in the Midwest to integrate advanced techniques of surgical and non-surgical body contouring procedures.

Dr. Cook routinely lectures worldwide 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.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. John Q. Cook’s surgical philosophy is to enhance each person’s intrinsic beauty and avoid results that appear artificial. The Whole Beauty® team of our highly skilled clinicians is integral to Dr. Cook’s practice and follows Dr. Cook’s principle of naturalism.
