Your hands are so important to your overall health and well-being. But sometimes, a disease or injury can hinder your hands’ ability to work the way you want them to. Pain, stiffness, numbness and tingling make it hard to grasp, feel, write, button and use the gross or fine motor skills most people take for granted. Learn more about our hand and wrist services.
When you or a loved one experiences trauma, you want the very best health care team you can find. Mercyhealth is a leader in trauma and emergency care throughout northwest Illinois, eastern Iowa and southern Wisconsin.

Dramatic weight loss has many benefits, but after any substantial amount of weight loss due to weight loss surgery and/or lifestyle changes, the skin and tissues often lack the elasticity to conform to the reduced body size.
Surgical body contouring following major weight loss removes excess sagging skin and fat while improving the shape of the underlying support tissue. The result is a better-proportioned appearance with smoother contours.
Body contouring procedures include:
- Arm lift
- Breast lift
- Facelift
- Lower body lifts
- Inner thigh lift
- Tummy tuck
Gynecomastia, or excessive male breast tissue, is common among men. Our reconstructive surgery team can help be removing excess by excision or liposuction.
We treat infants, children and teens who have defects that are congenital (present at birth) or acquired. Our board certified pediatric plastic surgeons diagnose and treat rare, complex and common disorders that affect the function and appearance of the body, including:
- Cleft lip and palate
- Craniofacial problems

- Face, ear and nose deformities
