Kelly E. Tjelmeland, MD

I've been wanting this for the past four years or so! I'm 26 years old and was previously a size C34. I got 525 cc silicone implants sub-muscular. Currently 8 days post-op and loving them so far! Can't wait for them to start to drop more. Updated on 14 May 2024: Loving the results so far! First pic is at 2 weeks and next pic is at 3 weeks.

When it came time for me to look for a provider to do a breast augmentation revision for my laterally displaced implants, I asked my work colleagues. I work in Healthcare, and my network is connected to several physicians in the area. My friend recommended Dr. Tjelmeland without a second of hesitation. Now, I can see why. His attention to detail is impeccable and I am so pleased with my results. His staff is incredibly friendly, and they made my experience seamless. Dr. Tjlmeland listened to my concerns and did not hesitate with my difficult case. I am so pleased with this experience, which is the total opposite of my first surgery with a different physician. I promise you will not be disappointed, and I cannot recommend Dr. Tjlmeland enough. Thank you SO much!

I had the best experience with Dr. Tjemeland, in fact I loved the first breast augmentation so much, I decided to go bigger a few years later, & he did an awesome job both times, that was 23 years ago.

I find it difficult to put into words how absolutely wonderful my experience with Dr. Kelly Tjelmeland and staff was. Let me begin by saying that Dr. Tjelmeland is such a truly exceptional and professional surgeon and that his artistic skill is unmatched in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery. Dr. Tjelmeland’s mannerism and genuine friendly demeanor is such a blessing. After consulting with Dr. Tjelmeland, I put my trust and faith in him and all my fears and apprehensions were extinguished. I knew the decision to proceed with Dr. Tjelmeland was the one and only choice to make. There are many fine surgeons in the field of plastic surgery; however, there are none better than Dr. Tjelmeland. He has a God given gift of masterful talent and artistry. I believe you'll find that Dr. Tjelmeland cares about symmetry and absolute perfection in his procedures. He will never rush, will go above and beyond to take care of any necessary procedures, and will make you feel as though you are his crowning achievement in his chosen field. His PA-C, Cindy Jones, treated me like a queen. She is brilliant, kind, and warm. I must add that his staff and surgical staff are the absolute best. I have never been treated with such compassion and grace in a medical facility. I would highly recommend Dr. Tjelmeland for any and all plastic surgery procedures. We owe our thanks to you, Dr. Tjelmeland. You are truly a life changer! Warm Regards, Nancy Austin, Texas

I have been a patient of Dr. Tjelmeland since 2008 and in all he has performed four surgeries for me, all with exceptional results! Recently Dr. Tjelmeland performed a mid face and neck lift with a modified under eye lift. I appreciate the attention to detail and professionalism that all the staff at Meridian Surgery Center gave me! I trust Dr. Tjelmeland completely! His OR staff are wonderful and made me feel so relaxed and even happy on my surgery day. Cindy, the Physicians Asssistant was also available for me throughout the process and truly cares. I do not live in Austin, but to have found a plastic surgery with exceptional skill and is truly warm and caring, I will travel! I just love Tjelmeland and his staff! They are the best! Updated on 29 Mar 2021: Neck lift, face lift, under eye lift and fat transfer. This is not really a painful procedure. The discomfort is mostly from the incisions around the ears. Swelling takes a lot of time to resolve, but at day 20 the under eye bruises have resolved a lot. I wore the compression garment 24/7 for the first two weeks and continue to wear it now when I am at home. The compression garment is a cotton headband you can buy at the drug store. It really works to prevent swelling of the cheeks and support under the chin where most of the swelling is located.

My results from Dr. Tjelmeland have been nearly unbelievable! I am 55 and after my procedure, I am back in a bikini! My three kids cannot believe the transformation. Honestly, it exceeds what I hoped could be accomplished. Dr. Tjelmeland is conservative and creates natural outcomes. I completely trust in him and his staff. (Don't underestimate the added power of superior staff!)

I had a tummy tuck and liposuction done by Dr. Tjelmeland and I could not be more happy. This was a big surgery and I was worried about the recovery but Cynthia and the staff provided me with all the information I needed to ease my mind. Don’t get wrong there is pain involved but I would do it again to feel the way I do about my body. Thank you, Dr. Tjelmeland and staff for making me feel good in my own body.

I’ve seen Dr. Tjelmeland several times over the last few years. I used to go to another plastic surgeon in the area and I’m so happy I switched to this practice. Everyone is so nice, Dr. Tjelmeland’s Physicians assistant Cindy is so helpful. The nurse is in the surgery area treated me like a queen. I got all my questions answered and I love that the surgery center is quiet and feels nothing like a hospital. If you’re looking for a new plastic surgeon, look no further.

My motivation to do my face, eyes and brows was to look younger. And it worked! Dr. Tjelmeland did such a wonderful job I look younger but still like myself. The day of surgery went smooth. I wasn't in any pain when I woke up and I actually didn't experience any pain during my recovery, just some slight discomfort. I was pleasantly surprised at the speed of my recovery and had no complications. I have gotten several compliments already from people wanting to know what I am doing to look so great at 64!

Dr. Tjelmeland's expertise is well known to me. My wife, mother and daughter have all been to him for various procedures. I was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma just lateral to my left eye in the temporal area in November of 2014. I was worked in to see him and Cindy - he and every single one of his staff are professional and caring. He excised a nickel sized basal cell ca with superb results, and negative margins. See the pic from today. That's the left temporal area, no photoshop or retouching.
