Great doctor - overall they look much much better
I had a failed breast implant surgery from another surgeon. The breasts devolved capsular contracture and one side traveled upward resulting in one high riding breast and one regular. This made my chest look disfigured. The other surgeon did not follow up with me or care. I went several years with my breasts this way before consulting with Beautologie. I was extremely nervous but after going through a breast implant replacement and having the scar tissue scraped out with Dr. Knoetgen

He did an excellent job - couldn't be happier with my results
Dr Knoetgen was a phenomenal surgeon! The whole process of my breast augmentation and tummy tuck was top notch! He listened to what I wanted, and was honest and realistic with me. He didn't try to push me to make certain decisions, but gave me the information to make my own informed decisions. He did an excellent job on my surgery and I couldn't be happier with my results! I have and would continue to refer all of my friends and family to him for anything they might want done. As

Amazing Dr. Knoetgen & Fresno team, mommy makeover with 450cc saline implants
I have been so excited to post my review for this office. I have to say #1, my coordinator Ginger was the absolutely sweetest and down to earth soul. She truly made me feel at home. Her knowledge was out of this world. Karol was my nurse towards the end for pre-labs and also my post op care. She is freaking amazing and sweet. Love her. The receptionist is by far adorable. She immediately greets you and is super quick with check in. Everyone in the office is perfect. Okay now to

Investing in Me
Hoping to provide an honest, thorough review. I had my first consult in nov. 2020 virtually due to COVID. I decided I wanted an in person consult before making my decision. I was asked to pay $100 or put down a deposit, so put down my deposit. Attended in person and respectfully, DR recommended I lose weight prior to procedure. Fast forward a few months and 20 pounds down, ( thanks for the motivation, Dr. K) He agreed I was ready for surgery. I am now 9 days post op and I feel

Goal achieved: No one thinks I’m pregnant
About a year ago I was asked about my pregnancy for the last time. I haven’t been pregnant for 8.5 years, but I looked it, apparently. Dr Knoetgen gave me his honest and expert recommendation (which is more than I can say of his local competitor) so I trusted him. He even worked with me on price to try to match the competitor, but in the end I was willing to pay a little extra for his care. I started 5’6” and 157 lbs. I am now about 159 pounds. I have only done spin classes
