As Director of the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Douglas M. Sidle believes in developing a close relationship with his patients so that he may learn as much as he can about their needs and concerns. It is his belief that as a surgeon, he takes on the responsibilities of educating, supporting, and counseling his patients. In addition to performing the procedures, he is actively involved with his patients before their procedures and through every step of the recovery process. His humanistic approach coupled with his excellent background and technical skill in facial plastic surgery provides a sense of security and reassurance to his patients.He is skilled in both primary and revision rhinoplasty for the improvement of both appearance and breathing. Some of his most commonly performed procedures include complex nasal reconstruction, facial rejuvenation (facelifts, neck lifts, brow lifts, and eyelid surgery), and reconstruction of deformities related to congenital problems, previous trauma, or skin cancer surgery.He is trained in a wide range of in-office procedures for facial rejuvenation, including Botox, Restylane, Juvederm, and skin resurfacing to combat signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring.
Finally, he has extensive training in hair restoration surgery, including hair transplantation and hairline lowering. His philosophy regarding cosmetic and reconstructive procedures is to strive for aesthetic improvements that are natural and harmonious with each patient’s individual features, avoiding an artificial, “operated” appearance.He received his B.A. in Biology at the University of Illinois and his M.D. at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. He did his surgical residency training in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Northwestern University Medical School.Dr. Sidle completed his specialty training with a fellowship in Facial Plastic Reconstructive Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco.

7 months agoDr Sidel worked on my family member for a rhinoplasty and he did an excellent job. He listens. Observes and really caters to what his patient are looking to achieve. He is patient and an artistic and so knowledgeable. We absolutely loved Dr Sidel and highly recommend him to anyone who has been thinking of getting a Rhinoplasty. They would be in the best of hands!

11 months agoi went to see dr sidle in 2020. this was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made. dr sidle quite literally changed my life. my confidence has never been so high. i have always had a large forehead, it was my biggest insecurity. id always have bangs, hats, etc. he met with me and he made me feel so comfortable and was so knowledgeable that i knew if i’d go through with the procedure, he’d be the only doctor i’d let do it. the procedure was painless and quick. after the stitches were out there was a scar but he assured that hair would grow through it. a few months later, the scar was not noticeable at all. people are shocked when i tell them i got this procedure done because they can’t tell. my forehead is so natural and my favorite thing about me after so many years of it being an insecurity. if you have hesitations about this procedure i hope this review makes you feel at ease. can’t recommend doctor sidle enough.
