a beautiful encounter

Dr. Terry L. Donat believes in merging his patients’ aesthetic interests with their recognition of youth. As a facial plastic surgeon, his philosophy is a substantive reflection of these two powerful forces. “A face is the source of all expression. It is your uniqueness on display,” he says. “Nevertheless, in time, you may come to feel that your facial appearance no longer reflects your inner character.”

Recognizing that undergoing facial plastic surgery is a highly personal decision, Dr. Donat is careful to read between the lines when consulting with patients, so that he may truly understand the features that they most highly value. Only then does he offer alternatives. “My current efforts in recreating a more youthful, natural facial appearance center on ensuring that the volume and contours of soft tissues in the temples, cheeks and lips—all indisputable characteristics of a youthful face—are fully preserved or proportionally reinstated.” At The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery (IAS), located in suburban Chicago, Dr. Donat specializes in both surgical and nonsurgical facial procedures. He is one of fewer than 20 surgeons board certified in facial plastic surgery in the State of Illinois.
“My efforts are to provide a positive and meaningful source of proven techniques and experience, and simultaneously deliver extraordinary personal attention and ongoing innovative care,” he explains. Recognizing the benefits of combining ongoing skin-care treatments and products with the procedures he performs, Dr. Donat works in conjunction with Cantera Spa, the full-service medical spa located at the IAS. “We want to be sure the total experience that patients have with us is one they will talk about and recommend.”
