At Gryskiewicz Twin Cities Cosmetic Surgery, I specialize in Quick Recovery Breast Augmentation, also known as the “no-touch technique.” This innovative approach uses special instruments and techniques to minimize tissue damage and avoid rib contact during the breast augmentation procedure (hence the term “no-touch”), causing far less trauma to the surrounding tissue when compared to traditional approaches. Quick Recovery Breast Augmentation can dramatically reduce patients’ discomfort following the procedure, as well as their recovery time. After I began using this technique, my team and I interviewed each patient post-operatively to assess the results. We discovered that 95 percent of women returned to normal daily activities within 24 hours. I now recommend this technique for almost all of my patients interested in breast augmentation. It is certainly the most common surgical procedure for me personally, performing over 300 per year.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Petite and athletic frame - I want something natural but don't want to regret choosing too small. 235cc or 275cc? (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Good luck on your surgery. I think you are on the right track. You need to make certain that the surgeon takes accurate measurements of the footprint or diameter of your breast. It doesn’t matter what size you are or what cup size you want to be as much as trying on the implants in the office and determining if you like that with your bra and clothing. Spend about an hour doing this with the nurse. If you are very athletic, you might want to consider putting the implant on top of the muscle, but under the fascia of the chest muscle. That way you won’t get migration from muscle contraction over the years or a window shade deformity from flexion of the chest muscle. I think you’re on the right track with the sizes. Remember 90% of people wish they were bigger a year later! Good luck.

Do I need a revision to have cleavage? (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
You look good. Please give your implants six months to “drop and fluff”. If you are under the muscle then you can only got so close and the muscle stops the implant. You need to go on top of the muscle (but under the fascia - subfascial) to obtain more reliable cleavage. Give it lots more time.

40 year old implants - should I leave them in for life if nothing changes?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, I always recommend routine mammograms as well as check up with your surgeon. But, if it's not broke don't fix it. I would want to make sure your implants are still safe and on the market with no concerns about them such as being associated with Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Other than that, you don't have to replace them if there is nothing wrong with them.

Hello, You can always try a rice sizer which I believe is a great option as well to see what cc would be on you. Always do what you feel is right, I never choose the size for my patients.

Abdominal liposuction and thigh lift?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
These two procedures can definitely be done at the same time. Yes, it is important to be limiting activity after a thigh lift, but slow pace walking is completely fine. Going up and down stairs or any activity that involves fast pace or strain is what you want to avoid. This being said, getting up once an hour to walk around for 5-10 minutes is perfectly fine and exactly what we want to get the blood flowing and prevent any blood clots after Liposuction.

Do I need a breast reduction if I want to only lose a cup size? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
When looking at your photo the first thing I would recommend is a breast lift. A lot of times women do not realize that the majority of their cup size is all of the excess skin, and just by getting rid of all of that excess skin and bringing the breast tissue back up to where it needs to be will make you lose a cup size alone. I would recommend a lift with a small implant to give you the upper pole fullness. It is always best to see a licensed professional in person before making any final decisions. Could you also do a reduction along with all of that, yes you could. It would best be determined after examination at an in office visit.

What serums are included in a HydraFacial®?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
There are multiple different HydraFacial options. With the signature or the basic HydraFacial, you have your cleansing step which includes the Activ 4 solution, the next step is the peel step which will include the glysal or peel, following this step will be the extraction step with the Beta HD extract solution, you will finish with the hydration using the Antiox solution. Depending on the spa they will typically offer boosters, and each spa will have different booster options that they offer. The best advice is to discuss with your provider which boosters they offer, and which one would be best for your skin concerns.

Pole dancer seeking advice regarding subpectoral or subfascial breast implant placement. What would be the best option? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
When contemplating placement of breast implants, asking a person's day to day lifestyle and activity is the most important question. If you are someone who is physically active and does any kind of physical activity that involves upper body strength , we almost always suggest going on top of the muscle, sub facial. Going underneath the muscle you are at risk of implant displacement which is when the implant shifts or completely falls out of the pocket entirely.

No Pain!

I love how quickly the team was able to schedule me in after consultation! I didn’t even take the painkillers because I felt zero pain after surgery, just tightness. With Dr. Joe’s Quick Recovery Method, you don’t have to worry about downtime!

So glad I found Dr. Joe! I never took prescription pain meds afterwards

Had an amazing time having my breast augmentation done with Dr. Joe. Everyone I met and/or talked during the entire process was so kind and answered all of my 1,000 questions. I never took prescription paid meds after the procedure, only Tylenol and even that was just to help with swelling. Can’t wait for them to be fully healed, they already look great!

So Happy, I Did This!

I’m so happy that I did this! I’m a runner, I had recently gotten back into shape after having two babies and breast-feeding, but there was still extra skin on my belly and my breasts. I was still wearing my postpartum band to go running when my youngest kid was three! So I went in for a consultation, and felt really welcome, so I ended up staying with this surgeon. I had a mastopexy with augmentation, and an abdominoplasty. I’m nine weeks out now, and I’m wearing the same jeans from high school, literally went to my parents house and tried it on my high school jeans, and they fit. And I’m able to jog with one bra, and no belly band!

The results have exceeded my expectations

I'm writing this review to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz and his incredible team for the exceptional care I received during my recent upper blepharoplasty. From the moment I stepped into their office, I felt welcomed and valued. The entire experience was seamless, from the initial consultation to the post-operative care. Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz and team took the time to listen to my concerns and goals, and his expertise and gentle demeanor put me at ease. The procedure itself was a breeze, and the results have exceeded my expectations. I'm so grateful for the positive impact this procedure has had on my self-confidence and overall well-being. I would highly recommend Dr. Joe and his team to anyone considering upper blepharoplasty. They truly go above and beyond to ensure their patients feel beautiful and empowered. Thank you again for everything! Sincerely, Kristine Breimhorst

Dr. Joe Truly Gave Me my Confidence Back!

Dr. Joe truly gave me my confidence back. Dr. Joe performed a pocket revision surgery for a surgery he did not originally do. After 1.5 years of living with an implant that didn’t fall correctly I was left feeling exhausted & unheard from the original surgeon. Dr. Joe validated my concerns & did absolutely everything in his power to support me. To finally feel heard & validated, brought my heart so much peace. I was immensely struggling with my confidence & body, after what was supposed to be a beautiful personal investment to full body freedom; it impacted my mental & emotional health tremendously. Dr. Joe’s ability to be kind, encouraging, & provide comfort through this extremely sensitive process touched my heart in a way that is truly indescribable. The conversations & what he did for me up until this point in itself definitely changed my life, but there’s more. After fixing the original breast he felt that the other one needed a revision as well & with the permission from my S/O, he did just that. That on the table decision that he made reveled another life changing event as something was discovered that would not have been if Dr. Joe did not act on his gut feeling. I have immense gratitude for Dr. Joe & his surgical staff for making that decision. This process the second time around has been beautiful, as I desired with my first one. It has been healing to me on all levels & I feel complete joy with my body. Dr. Joe is an amazing surgeon, and most importantly an amazing person. Thank you & your team for absolutely everything you have done for me! You all have made this process effortless for me! It is an honor to have received work from you & with tears of joy I can express that I absolutely love my perfect breasts!

Beautiful, round, natural looking and feeling breasts

I cannot give Dr. Joe and his entire staff enough stars, my entire experience felt like a dream. From the warm and friendly clinic staff, in depth consultation (where all my questions plus more were answered), the surgery itself (I felt fine the very same day as my surgery and was back to caring for my toddler as normal with no pain or complications), to my results themselves (I started tuberous, I could have never imagined I could have beautiful, round, natural looking and feeling breasts). I also love that Dr. Joe does both over the muscle and under the muscle placement as well as every incision type, that way you know you are getting the very best personalized advice. I went with 290cc mentor boost mod plus, over the muscle. I am 5’2 and was 130 at the time of surgery with a bwd of 11.4.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

I couldn’t be happier and I’m still in the healing process

Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz and his staff are exceptional. They are very caring and friendly. It was easy to do zooms as I lived three hours away. They scheduled my consult the day before my surgery so I didn’t have to travel twice before the procedure. The reason I picked Dr. Joe is because of his many years of experience, looking through photos of his work, I’m very picky (I researched 5 different surgeons) I had liposuction on my chin and neck and blepharoplasty on my eyes. Dr. Joe made my eyes look exotic!! I couldn’t be happier and I’m still in the healing process.

Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS
Response from Dr.Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACSWe are all so happy with how everything turned out. And we even just did it in the office without anesthesia, just sleeping pills, and some Novacaine. It really changed your appearance, turned back the clock and I’m glad you’re happy. All the best, Dr. Joe, and Family.

Great Experience from the Consultation to the Post Op Appointments!

I had a great experience being Dr.Joe’s patient. I was impressed from our initial consultation all the way through our follow up appointments. At my consultation he answered all of my questions and gave me a book that he wrote. This book was very informative and walked me through the procedure process while teaching me many things I had not thought about. I absolutely LOVE his work! After having 3 kids and breastfeeding all of them my breasts were not a party of my body that I liked. Now I love them! Recovery was great, all I needed to take was Tylenol! Overall, Dr. Joe is an amazing person and doctor and I highly recommend choosing him to be your plastic surgeon.

Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS
Response from Dr.Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACSIt makes me happy that you’re happy. I’m glad you enjoyed my book. It is an easy read. It’s nice to undo what the kids do to your breasts. I can’t believe you took just Tylenol. We use the quick recovery method, and it seem to work. Have a healthy new year. Dr. Joe in Team.
