Family Matters

Separately, Dr. Tripti Dolly Burt and Dr. Neena Will are impressive doctors with the kind of credentials patients are looking for. Dr. Burt is a board-certified plastic surgeon, specializing in breast augmentation and body contouring. Dr. Will is a reconstructive and cosmetic facial surgeon, board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology.
Together, they create an incomparable team, able to treat the full spectrum of needs for their patients at Burt & Will Plastic Surgery and Dermatology.
Oh, and they’re sisters.
“We have similar philosophies,” Dr. Will says. “We respect each other’s thoughts and opinions. We’ve been able to grow our families and our businesses simultaneously. I feel lucky to have my partner be my sister.”
Dr. Burt started her practice 14 years ago in the southwest suburbs. Dr. Will joined the practice later, expanding services to include facial surgery. They recently expanded again, opening a new 7,000-square-foot facility in Burr Ridge, which also includes dermatology and laser services in addition to their surgical procedures.
“We’re on the same page in how we approach our practice and customer care,” says Dr. Burt. “And we do a lot of procedures together. Because we are in tune with each other, we can operate well together, which has been a benefit. The only thing we ever fight about is the music in operating room.”
The decision to open an office in Burr Ridge was an easy one. They are raising their families in Hinsdale, and wanted to have an office close to where they live, treating neighbors in the community they love so much.
One of the things their patients appreciate is that it’s a full-service practice—and a female practice. “We are two female plastic surgeons,” explains Dr. Burt. “Our patients often choose us because we are women and we have a deeper understanding of what our patients’ needs are.”
“We are also one of the only practices that offers all the different layers of rejuvenation,” Dr. Will adds. The first layer of rejuvenation is Botox, fillers, and laser services. The second layer is dermatology, or treating the skin medically with creams and other services. And finally, there’s surgical rejuvenation. “We pride ourselves in offering comprehensive care for our patients,” she says.
Including the Burr Ridge location, which opened in July, there are four offices in the practice. “Tripti and I hand pick each team member in all of our locations,” Dr. Will says. “We want to make sure the information being delivered to the patient is right from the moment they call us. Our staff is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and informed.”
When a new patient visits the office, the doctors get a thorough medical history, then they talk through concerns and reasons for visiting. Then they formulate a plan. That might include a skin consultation with Dr. Tushar Dabade, the dermatologist, a visit with a laser technician, or it might involve a surgical recommendation.
“We create a very close relationship with our patients, because we are intimately involved form the beginning to the end,” Dr. Will says.
The best medical practices are those that are always trying to find better ways to treat their patients and meet demands, that’s certainly the case at Burt & Will Plastic Surgery and Dermatology. Especially in the field of plastic surgery, where the technologies continue to evolve all the time. Procedures are getting shorter, safer, and less invasive, which means less downtime afterwards. Laser fat reduction and NeoGraft treatments for hair restoration are two examples of newer treatment options that have significantly shortened downtime for patients and created long-lasting results. Dr. Dabade is the board certified dermatologist who consults and offers these services.
There are a lot of options when it comes to choosing a doctor for plastic surgery, but Drs. Burt and Will have had incredible success building their practice and retaining clients. And one reason is because they are always investing in making it better.
“We think about the practice a lot. We talk about the practice often when we’re at home,” Dr. Burt says. “We’re constantly evolving. Every year, we’re bringing something new to it.”
Burt & Will Plastic Surgery and Dermatology is located at 6860 N. Frontage Road in Burr Ridge, 630-455-9292, burtplasticsurgery.com.
