Procedures and techniques named

Facelift: incisions hidden in ear folds and scalpProperly-placed face lift incisions are designed to hide in the normal folds and contours around the ear, extending from the scalp near the temple area, around the back of the ear, and then into the scalp high behind the ear to avoid visibility when healed
Short-incision facelift: option when a full face lift is not neededShort-incision options–(when a “full face lift” is not needed)
Facelift: does not correct fine lines, crow's feet, sun damageFine lines (“smoker’s lines” or lipstick bleed lines) around the mouth, “crepey” skin around the eyes (“crow’s feet”), or skin surface sun damage are not corrected by face lift surgery (any variety)
Breast augmentation: return to daily activities within 24 hoursSuperior anesthesia care, advanced surgical techniques, and the care of our fantastic nursing and office staff at our Minnesota plastic surgery practice, allow breast augmentation patients to return to everyday activities within 24 hours, and strenuous activities within several weeks.
Power-assisted liposuctionMPS was among the first plastic surgery practices to utilize and refine power-assisted liposuction, which uses a rapidly-reciprocating blunt-tipped cannula (up to 4000cycles/min) to reduce surgeon fatigue and facilitate better fat removal and sculpting, especially in areas of firm, scarred, or previously-operated fat.
Liposuction: ultrasonic, liposculpture, or Vaser lipo optionsFor diet-resistant localized excess fatty tissue in all other areas of the body, we can offer several types of liposuction, which may include ultrasonic liposuction, liposculpture with small cannulas, or Vaser lipo precision body contouring.
Tummy tuck: can combine with liposuction on hips, thighsThe good news is that other areas of localized fatty tissue, such as the hips (“muffin top” or “love handles”), lateral thighs (“saddlebag” area), or other areas, can be treated with liposuction at the same time as abdominoplasty.
Extended abdominoplasty: 360 tummy tuck or lower body lift for extensive casesIf the loose skin continues to the hips, thighs, and buttocks, extended abdominoplasty, or even complete circumferential belt lift, “360 tummy tuck,” or lower body lift , can be performed.
Rhinoplasty: performed under light general (TIVA) anesthesiaShe came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for cosmetic rhinoplasty, which was performed in our AAAASF-accredited office surgical facility under a light general (TIVA) anesthetic.
Open rhinoplasty: outpatient, often combined with septoplastyHe underwent outpatient open rhinoplasty in our AAAASF-accredited in-office surgical facility, at which time he also had septoplasty and partial inferior turbinectomies to correct breathing problems.

Before you book here

Verify three things yourself, whichever practice you choose: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada; whether the operating facility is accredited or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure; and how many of that operation they perform each year. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon covers how to check each one.
