Your Journey to Exceptional Care in Chicago with Dr. Amjad Z. Ahmad


Choosing a surgeon is the most important decision in your aesthetic journey. If local options fail to meet the highest standards of specialized expertise, patients from across the country and around the world travel to Chicago for the distinguished care of Dr. Amjad Z. Ahmad. We understand that this isn’t a decision that you’ve made lightly, and we’re honored to be a destination for patients seeking world-class results in oculofacial surgery.

We understand that traveling for medical care involves unique considerations. Our entire practice is dedicated to making your experience as comfortable, convenient, and stress-free as possible, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: your exceptional, natural-looking results.

Why Patients Travel for Dr. Ahmad's Expertise

The "Why": You Need to See and Trust the Results
The "How": Our extensive gallery of before-and-after photos showcases consistently natural, refined outcomes. Dr. Ahmad’s philosophy is to create refreshed, harmonious results that are never "overdone." This commitment gives traveling patients the confidence that their investment in time and travel will be rewarded with a look they will love.

We streamline the entire process to eliminate uncertainty and provide the supportive, communicative environment that defines our practice.
Your Streamlined Fly-In Patient Process
We have meticulously designed our process to be clear, efficient, and supportive. Here is the journey you can expect:
Step 1: The Virtual Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive virtual consultation with Dr. Ahmad via a secure video conference. During this meeting, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, ask questions, and review your medical history. Dr. Ahmad will conduct a visual assessment and provide his professional recommendations, just as he would in person. Our goal is to help you feel completely informed and confident in the proposed treatment plan before making any travel arrangements.
Step 2: Planning Your Trip & Concierge Coordination
Once you decide to proceed, our patient coordinator will become your dedicated point of contact. We will help schedule your surgery date and provide you with a detailed itinerary so you know exactly what to expect. We can also offer recommendations for trusted accommodations near our Chicago or Lisle offices, from luxury hotels to comfortable extended-stay suites, to suit your needs and budget.
Step 3: Arrival, Pre-Operative Meeting & Surgery
We ask that you arrive in Chicago at least one day before your scheduled surgery. You will meet with Dr. Ahmad in person for your pre-operative appointment to finalize the surgical plan and answer any last-minute questions. Your surgery will take place at one of our state-of-the-art surgical facilities.
Step 4: Rest & Recovery in Chicago
Your safety and comfort are always our highest priorities, which is why we recommend you plan to stay in the Chicago area for approximately 7-10 days following your procedure. This allows for proper healing and enables you to attend your essential one-week post-operative follow-up appointment with Dr. Ahmad, where he will assess your progress and ensure your recovery is on track.
Step 5: Continued Care from Home
We don’t stop caring for you once you return home. We will schedule virtual follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and are always available to answer any questions that arise. Our team is always just a phone call or video chat away.
