AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
Many women who have had children have stretched abdominal wall muscles (diastasis recti), loose skin, unsightly stretch marks, as well as changes in their breasts after pregnancy and breast feeding. Despite working hard after delivery to restore their bodies to pre-pregnancy condition, some women fail to achieve their goals. Plus, they find that one cannot “exercise” loose skin, and that any lost skin tone, laxity, or stretch marks remain in their abdomen even after the “baby weight” comes off. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is the only way to remove the loose skin, stretch marks, and flatten that protruding “mommy pouch” via muscle repair

Breast Surgery
••
We have chosen to elevate the care and technical details of elective breast enlargement surgery, rather than marketing or advertising a “brand-name” operation that tries to imply a “special surgical method” or unique secret that no other plastic surgeon has—some hidden talent or proprietary technique that transforms patients into someone with “more rapid” healing, “no” pain, or who can return to all activity “magically” the next day! This is pure marketing (baloney), and may be a cover for substandard or assembly-line surgical practices

Abdominoplasty
••
Abdominoplasty removes loose skin, tightens the abdominal wall muscles, and repairs any hernias found. Skin “stretch marks” (striae) are commonly seen in patients who have had hormone changes accompanied by mechanical skin stretching such as with pregnancy or growth spurts during puberty. Stretch marks cannot be effectively treated except by surgical excision (removal) of the affected skin, such as with a tummy tuck. Any stretch marks above the umbilicus cannot be removed, but will be repositioned to the suprapubic lower abdomen with abdominoplasty. Minneapolis Plastic Surgery, LTD. offers the tummy tuck procedure (abdominoplasty) to appropriate women (and men) who can be improved by this operation

I have hated my neck for some years and wasn't sure what I could do about it. I had a couple of interviews with different plastic surgeon doctors. When I went in for a consultation with Dr. Gervais, I knew he was the one that I wanted to do the procedure. He is very meticulous and professional. He loves his job and it shows! I am very happy with my results.
I am about 3 months post op from breast lift with implants with Dr. Gervais. I am so happy I chose him and his staff at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery. My results were my best case scenario-just like the photos I showed him! Even with slight healing difficulties, they had me in the office every week until I was healed. Thank you again!

After losing 100 pounds over seven years, I was left with enough extra skin to qualify as a human Shar-Pei. All I wanted was to wear a cute belt and a fitted shirt without everything bunching, folding, or doing origami under my clothes.
Enter Dr. Gervais. Surgeon, sculptor, and possibly a wizard in disguise. I went in for a 360 tummy tuck and breast augmentation, and came out wondering if he secretly studied at Hogwarts because the results are actual magic.
My results are smooth,
...read moreMy whole experience with Dr. Gervais and his entire staff was nothing short of wonderful! From my very first appointment, I felt completely at ease. It’s clear that him and the team truly care about their patients and provide great care before and after the procedure. My results exceeded my expectations and I am forever grateful I chose them!
Enjoying my first couple days of my FIRST summer with no man boobs and no muffin top or saggy stomach!
I wanted to wait until scars healed more, but I just can’t hold in my gratitude anymore!
I can tell the scars are going to be almost non existent in just a short period of time. It’s only 5 weeks out and they already look like thin lines, albeit red, but nowhere near the large wide scars I’ve seen on others.
Everything is perfect and I can’t believe that I finally get to be
...read moreHands down Dr Gervais and his team made me feel safe and secure during the whole process. My overall health mentally and physically was always in the forefront of all of my interactions. I had a arm and thigh lift done at the sametime. My incisions look amazing at 6wks out. Dr Gervais, nurses Jill :-) and Felicia took excellent care of me during all of my aftercare! I truly appreciate you all!
I had a very positive experience with Minneapolis Plastic Surgery. I was referred to MPS by a friend who had her breast augmentation done with Dr. Gervais over 10 years ago, and she is still in love her results. Dr. Gervais shared a father-like vibe and personality with me, and I felt like he had good intensions for my procedure. I did a lot of research prior to my breast augmentation procedure, and Dr. Gervais and his team were able to answer all the questions and concerns I
...read moreI am very late on writing this review, but I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Gervais back in 2021. I am still so incredibly pleased with the results and can’t believe how beautiful and natural they look. The Dr. and entire staff were so friendly, patient and knowledgeable and I love that I was able to have the procedure done in their office as opposed to a hospital. I had been wanting this procedure for many years and I wish I would have done it sooner! Highly recommend
...read moreDr. Gervais and his staff are truly amazing! I had a breast augmentation & abdominoplasty procedure done in March of 2024. From consultation to post-ops, he & his staff were extremely helpful and thorough in explaining the options, procedures, and finances. Before children, I was 98lbs and couldn’t gain any weight. Three kids later, who all weighed over 8lbs, I was ready to do something for myself!
I wanted to look as natural as possible and Dr. Gervais and his staff
