Meet Northwest Indiana’s Premier Choice for Transformation: Jason M. Petrungaro, MD

Choosing to undergo Plastic Surgery is one of the most personal and empowering decisions you can make. It is an investment in your confidence, your comfort, and your future. However, the success of that investment rests entirely on one crucial factor: the surgeon you choose. You need a medical professional who possesses not only the technical expertise to keep you safe but also the artistic vision to bring your goals to life.

In Northwest Indiana, one name consistently rises above the rest, setting the gold standard for aesthetic excellence: board-certified Plastic Surgeon Jason Petrungaro, MD. For those seeking to refine their silhouette, restore their pre-pregnancy body, or complete a massive weight loss journey, Dr. Petrungaro has become the region’s most trusted partner. His dedication to his craft and his patients has not gone unnoticed. In fact, his outstanding work has earned him the prestigious title of Best Cosmetic Surgeon in Northwest Indiana for two consecutive years, 2024 and 2025.

But what truly sets a Plastic Surgeon apart from the crowd? It’s not just the awards on the wall. It’s the seamless blending of world-class surgical skill with a genuine, compassionate bedside manner that has earned Dr. Petrungaro hundreds of glowing 5-star reviews from patients whose lives he has forever changed.

If you are considering Plastic Surgery, here is why Dr. Petrungaro should be your first and only choice.

The Foundation of Trust: Board Certification and World-Class Skill

When we talk about Plastic Surgery, the term “board-certified” isn’t just an industry buzzword; it is the ultimate measure of rigorous training, safety, and ethical practice. To become board-certified, a surgeon must complete years of specialized training beyond medical school, specifically dedicated to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and pass grueling oral and written examinations.

Dr. Petrungaro has earned this distinction, demonstrating his profound mastery of human anatomy and surgical techniques. But what elevates a skilled surgeon to a world-class surgeon is what happens after the textbooks.

World-class skill is the ability to look at a patient’s unique body, listen to their goals, and visualize a result that is beautiful, proportionate, and entirely natural. It is the steady hand that knows exactly how to sculpt an abdomen, hide an incision within a natural crease, or achieve perfect symmetry in a breast augmentation. Dr. Petrungaro possesses an artist’s eye for detail, ensuring that every contour is smooth, every line is intentional, and every result enhances your natural beauty rather than overpowering it.

His surgical plans are never “one-size-fits-all.” He approaches every consultation as a collaborative design process, ensuring your body gets the bespoke, customized care it deserves.

A Reputation Built on Compassion: Excellent Bedside Manner

Surgery, by its very nature, is an intimate and vulnerable experience. It is normal to feel nervous or hesitant before taking the leap. This is where Dr. Petrungaro’s renowned bedside manner shines the brightest.

A truly great surgeon understands that they are treating a human being, not just an anatomical feature. From the moment you step into his consultation room, you are greeted with warmth, respect, and undivided attention. Dr. Petrungaro is known for his ability to put patients completely at ease. He takes the time to listen deeply to your insecurities, your hopes, and your fears. He doesn’t rush you out the door or talk over you; he educates you. He explains the procedures in clear, understandable terms, ensuring you feel empowered to make the best decisions for your body.

This reputation for wonderful patient care extends far beyond the operating room. Dr. Petrungaro and his dedicated staff are by your side through every step of your recovery journey. When you are healing at home and have a question, you aren’t just a number in a file; you are a valued patient receiving proactive, continuous care. This level of support drastically reduces anxiety and turns the surgical experience into an empowering journey of self-renewal.

The Voices of Experience: Hundreds of 5-Star Reviews

The truest measure of a surgeon’s success is the happiness of their patients. You don’t have to take our word for the transformative power of Dr. Petrungaro’s work—you only have to look at the chorus of voices online.

Dr. Petrungaro has amassed hundreds of 5-star reviews across multiple platforms. These are not just ratings; they are heartfelt stories of reclaimed confidence. They are testimonials from mothers who finally feel like themselves again, from massive weight loss patients who have finally crossed their finish line, and from women whose lifelong insecurities have been skillfully erased.

Patients consistently highlight his meticulous attention to detail, his calming presence, and most importantly, results that exceed their wildest expectations. Reading these reviews provides a powerful glimpse into the level of care and artistic excellence you can expect when you entrust your transformation to his capable hands.

Signature Procedures: The Art of Transformation

While Dr. Petrungaro is highly skilled in a wide array of cosmetic procedures, he has become particularly renowned for several signature surgeries that demand an elite level of precision and artistry.

1. Tummy Tucks (Abdominoplasty)

The physical toll of pregnancy or significant weight fluctuation often leaves behind a frustrating reality: stretched skin that won’t retract and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that no amount of dieting or exercise can fix.

Dr. Petrungaro is a master of the tummy tuck. He doesn’t just remove excess skin; he reconstructs the core. By meticulously tightening the abdominal wall like an internal corset and removing the overstretched tissue, he restores a smooth, flat, and youthful contour to the midsection. His patients rave about their ability to finally wear form-fitting clothes with confidence and the relief of a restored, stronger core.

2. Liposuction and the Famous “Trifecta”

When stubborn pockets of fat refuse to respond to a healthy lifestyle, liposuction is the gold standard for targeted contouring. However, Dr. Petrungaro takes this a step further with his highly sought-after “Trifecta” approach.

The Trifecta is a comprehensive and seamless combination of three state-of-the-art technologies designed to deliver unparalleled, high-definition results. First, VASER ultrasound technology gently targets and “melts” stubborn fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues, ensuring a smoother contour and a faster, more comfortable recovery. Next, MicroAire Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) precisely sweeps away that liquefied fat, allowing for incredibly detailed sculpting to coax out your natural curves and muscle definition. Finally, the magic touch: because removing fat volume can sometimes leave skin loose, Dr. Petrungaro utilizes Renuvion—a revolutionary helium cold-plasma technology that applies focused energy beneath the surface to instantly tighten and “shrink-wrap” your skin to your newly sculpted frame. Together, this powerful trio goes far beyond traditional fat removal; it beautifully sculpts, defines, and tightens in a single procedure, giving you the smooth, firm, and breathtaking silhouette you’ve always desired! Dr. Petrungaro is the ONLY Plastic Surgeon in northwest Indiana and beyond who owns and operates all 3 of these technologies together, an investment in his patients of over $250,000!

3. Breast Augmentations and Lifts

Whether restoring volume lost after breastfeeding, balancing asymmetry, or achieving a lifelong goal of a fuller figure, breast augmentation with or without a lift is one of the most transformative procedures in Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Petrungaro is celebrated for his ability to achieve results that look and feel incredibly natural. During a comprehensive consultation, he works closely with you to select the perfect implant size, profile, and placement for your unique body type. His goal is never to make you look “operated on,” but rather to enhance your femininity in a way that looks like it was always meant to be there.

4. Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss

Losing 50, 100, or even 150 pounds is a heroic achievement. Yet, the victory is often overshadowed by the heavy, hanging skin left behind. This skin can cause painful chafing, restrict movement, and hide the incredible muscle tone built underneath.

Dr. Petrungaro has a distinct passion and unparalleled skill for body contouring after massive weight loss. These are complex, life-changing procedures—including lower body lifts, arm lifts (brachioplasty), and thigh lifts—that require an expert to safely remove extensive amounts of tissue while meticulously hiding scars. He considers this the final, validating step in a patient’s health journey, literally lifting the weight of the past off their shoulders so they can enjoy their new, healthy bodies to the fullest.

Why Settle When You Can Have the Best?

Your body is your permanent home. When you decide to alter it, you owe it to yourself to seek out the very best care available.

You deserve a surgeon who views you as an individual, not an assembly line project. You deserve a professional who prioritizes your safety above all else, operating in state-of-the-art facilities with the utmost medical rigor. You deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing your surgeon has been voted the best in Northwest Indiana in both 2024 and 2025 by the community he serves.

Dr. Jason Petrungaro embodies all of these qualities. His combination of world-class surgical skill, wonderful patient care, and an excellent bedside manner has solidified his reputation as the region’s top aesthetic expert.

Don’t let fear or insecurity hold you back from living the vibrant, confident life you deserve. The hundreds of five-star reviews prove that a beautiful, natural-looking transformation is within your reach.
