Leslie Forrester, MSN, APRN, A-GNP-C is one of the greatest success stories at the Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute. Women and men from all across the country visit Leslie to have their Botox done in Chicago because of her artistic eye, her soft hand and her depth of knowledge. Leslie is considered an expert injector by Allergan and Galderma, the two distributors of popular injection products like Botox, Juvederm, Voluma and Kybella (Allergan), as well as Dysport, Restylane Silk, Restylane Lift and Sculptra (Galderma). Both Allergan and Galderma have hand selected Leslie to act as a speaker and trainer in advanced injection techniques for doctors and nurse injectors. Additionally, Leslie has acted on advisory boards for Allergan and played a part in the launch of Voluma for facial rejuvenation. Leslie has mastered the art of injecting. She has been a part of Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, which is the oldest and largest plastic surgery group in the Midwest, for nearly two decades. Leslie recently authored a book on the art of cosmetic medicine, titled “Meet Your Wrinkle Fairy – An Insider’s Guide to Cosmetic Medicine,” which is available for purchase here (Leslie is donating profits from the book to St. Jude Children’s Hospital). She stars in her own TV segment monthly on “Windy City Live” on ABC7 Chicago. Previously, she appeared on “You & Me” on WCIU channel 26.
