Six Years And Still Simply The Best!

I just wanted to add another note of praise to Dr. Tholen and the staff at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery.
It’s been six years since my breast lift with implants and I still love the results. Recently, I had a minor concern come up about one of my breasts (that ended up being fine) and decided to check with Dr. Tholen about it. The doctor and staff treated me just as they did six years ago. Made me feel comfortable and important to them. Dr. Tholen took his time with me, validated my concerns, and presented multiple options going forward. This plastic surgery center continues to impress me with how genuinely invested they are with their patient’s ongoing happiness with the results.

Three years post op

When I was researching the surgery, I couldn't find a lot of pics showing how the augmentation looked years down the road, so I thought I'd share an update. This is me a little over three years from surgery and I couldn't be happier with the result. I've settled into a size 34DDD (varies from store to store but typically that size) which is perfect for my frame and exactly the look I wanted. I haven't had any complications. I've seen Dr. Tholen a few times since surgery just for checkups and he and the staff continue to be welcoming and professional.

Almost three months

Had another followup appointment last week, things are still looking good. Wearing regular bras, was fitted as a 38 DDD. Extremely happy with the results and healing process. Right breast still gets tight sometimes, especially in the morning. It is also dropping at a slower pace than the left, but completely normal for this stage. So happy with my decision to get this procedure, it has done wonders for my self confidence.

Dr. Tholen was great. He is very personable and I could tell right away he has passion and pride in what he does. He is a perfectionist but still approachable and open to new ideas. He is very genuine in his appreciation for his clients and values their input. The number one thing I love about him though is that he is very honest and blunt about realistic expectations. This is not a doctor who will tell you what you want to hear just for the paycheck. He is knowledgable and very skilled. He also has a great sense of humor that really helped put me at ease.
