Dr. Dino Mendez enhances patients’ natural beauty with expert surgical precision, helping them look and feel their best.

When it comes to meticulous surgical expertise, coupled with compassionte, personalized care, Dr. Dino Mendez is the trusted name in the Western Suburbs for restoring confidence. A double-board-certified plastic surgeon with nearly a decade of experience, he is deeply rooted in the community and widely respected for his commitment to excellence in cosmetic surgery.

Enhancing authentic beauty for each of his patients—with a focus on breast, tummy, and eyelid cosmetic surgery—he empowers them to look and feel their best, while delivering natural, proportionate results that leave patients feeling confident and rejuvenated.

His acclaim comes from his most transformative and popular procedure, the “Mommy Makeover.” This life- changing surgery helps women who have undergone pregnancy achieve the shape and contour they desire when diet and exercise fall short. “A tummy tuck transforms the belly to look flatter and more athletic, enhancing one’s natural shapes and contours. Similarly, a breast augmentation or lift restores one’s fullness and shape, providing a more youthful look,” Dr. Mendez says. “Sometimes the term “Mommy Makeover” can be a misnomer, as several non-postpartum women also undergo these procedures— whether it’s a woman with smaller breasts that is interested in enhancing her fullness, or someone who has developed extra skin in her tummy from either aging or weight loss.” By restoring balance and proportion, his patients rediscover a sense of self confidence, earning him a reputation for delivering exceptional results.

From the initial consultation, Dr. Mendez takes the time to listen to his patients’ concerns and goals, crafting a personalized surgical plan that aligns with their desires. Valuing open communication and honesty, he ensures his patients have realistic expectations and feel empowered to undergo their transformation. “I treat each patient with dignity and respect, only recommending procedures that will make a meaningful difference in their quality of life and bring long-term satisfaction,” he says.

The decision for surgery is something he and his patients make together. “Moving forward with surgery is a very personal decision for patients. They need to feel comfortable and safe. I believe the foundation of this is honest communication and prioritizing patient safety to the highest regard throughout every part of the surgical experience.”

Dr. Mendez is also renowned for his expertise in reconstructive surgery, particularly for patients with skin cancer of the face and neck. “This dual focus allows me to refine my skills and broaden my technical scope to face any surgical challenge that comes my way,” he says.

As an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Mendez continues to stay at the forefront of his field. He attends annual conferences and has contributed to numerous publications, ensuring that his patients benefit from the latest advancements in plastic surgery techniques and technology.

For Dr. Mendez, the greatest reward is seeing his patients regain their confidence and embrace a healthier, more vibrant version of themselves. His goal is to transform appearances and uplift spirits, one patient at a time.

Dr. Dino Mendez is located at 2500 S. Highland Avenue, Suite 320, in Lombard, and 2323 Naperville Road, Suite 120, in Naperville, 815-860-0774, drdinomendez.com, @drdinomendez.
