The Surgeon
Dr. Elena Meridian,
MD, FACS
Dr. Meridian is a double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with 14 years of dedicated aesthetic practice in Chicago. Trained at Johns Hopkins and Northwestern, she combines deep surgical precision with an eye for natural, proportionate results.
Her practice is intentionally small. Meridian Plastic Surgery accepts a limited number of patients each month so that every case receives her full, undivided attention — from the initial consultation to the final follow-up.

How We Practice
Surgical Honesty
We tell you what we can achieve — and what we can’t. No overselling, no unrealistic promises. Every recommendation is grounded in anatomy, not revenue.
One Surgeon, Always
Dr. Meridian performs every procedure personally. You will never be handed off to a resident or associate. Your surgery is hers from first incision to final suture.
Absolute Discretion
Our practice is designed for privacy. Separate entrance, private recovery suite, and a team that understands confidentiality isn’t just a policy — it’s a commitment.
Evidence-Based Technique
Techniques are selected based on outcomes data, not trends. Dr. Meridian attends surgical conferences annually and actively publishes peer-reviewed research.
