Today was the day of the surgery! I can't believe how well everything went! I'm up and about the house, resting, but also doing errands like folding laundry etc. I have very little post on symptoms and am considerably comfortable. I have post op meds. for pain but I don't think I'll be needing them. I'm very very impressed indeed. I added photos and will try to update as I heal. So far I'm...

I am a 27 year old female married with no children, I weigh 125lb. and I am 5'3. After having a flat chest through all of my young adult life I decided to have a Breast Augmentation. After careful consideration and many months of research including 3 consultations with different doctors, I chose to go to through Minneapolis Plastic Surgery with Dr. Tholen and his team. The surgery was in the...

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Mesna's bedside manner. He moves fast in consultations but will meet you where you are at and is gracious with his time for questions. In addition to his genuine kindness and demeanor, he is skillful and knowledgeable. I feel more comfortable in my body than I have before and attribute this to his skills and kindness. His entire staff is equally as...

I went to Dr. Peng for a tummy tuck and breast lift following a weight loss of over 100 lbs. I am 5 months post op and I still stare at myself in the mirror every day completely amazed at how great my results are. My confidence is through the roof thanks to Dr. Peng. She is also very considerate and professional. I thought I wanted breast implants and Dr. Peng was very honest with me that I...

Dr. Hoffmann is an amazing surgeon!! My surgery and recovery was a breeze!! I was off my pain meds by the night after surgery! My surgery was Thursday, Friday I had my 24 hour appointment, went shopping, and got a pedicure! Saturday I took my 4 and 5 year old to my daughters dance recital and a birthday party and Sunday had family pictures. I did have swelling but no brusing and very little...

Due to a significant, multi-generational family history of breast cancer, I was a 55 year old candidate for prophylactic bilateral mastectomy and breast reconstruction in early 2015. I interviewed three highly-recommended plastic surgeons--Dr. Lemaine was the only one of the three who offered me a nipple-sparing pre-pectoral reconstruction, a newer option at that time. (The other two said I...

I met Dr. Schaefer by chance after calling around for abdominalplasty consultation. Upon meeting him I found his bedside manner to be warm, through and educated. I initiate went seeking information about panniculectomy and he discussed with me by asking appropriate questions to uncover if a panniculectomy would meet my desires (it would not). His team took photos and submitted a preapproval...

I loved my experience at Skin Artisans! The Nurse Injector (Andrea) was so sweet and professional and my results looked great! I was able to get all of my questions answered prior to my treatment. I wanted to look natural vs overdone, and she did an amazing job . I highly recommend them to anyone in the Mpls /West Metro Area!

I have been on this journey with Dr. Stewart at my back for about 3 years! When we met, I was too big for lipo and didn't want the scars from a tummy tuck. She waited until I lost the weight on my own, then did lipo for my "pouch". I can't say enough! She is amazing!

I had a tummy tuck, breast lift, and liposuction with Dr. Kayan three weeks ago. Already I’m absolutely thrilled with my results, and I know they will continue to improve as I heal and recover. Dr. Kayan was extremely thorough in my consultation and spent a lot of time making sure my questions were answered. Krissy and Ting are also wonderful and were incredibly responsive to my texts and e...
