OMC Department of Plastic Surgery

A plan that’s right for you.

Olmsted Medical Center’s plastic surgery team can help improve certain aspects of your body. And a positive body image can improve self-esteem, self-confidence and psychological well-being. However, it’s important to understand the reason(s) why you are considering plastic surgery.

Reconstructive procedures may be done to correct defects or deformities from traumatic injuries or disease treatments. In these cases, we help restore the affected body area to as near-to-normal as possible.

Cosmetic (also called aesthetic) procedures alter a part of the body you wish to modify. Some cosmetic procedures aren’t surgical in nature, but may use special lasers. All cosmetic procedures need to be fully understood and the risks/benefits weighed to ensure the approach is right for you.

By keeping your expectations realistic and approaching plastic surgery as a means to improving body image -- rather than trying to look like someone else or solve bigger problems -- you can expect a successful plastic surgery experience. Our experienced staff will explain the typical results, expected down-time, risks, and associated expenses with you.

We invite you to explore our web site and contact us with any questions you may have. We welcome you as a patient and look forward to sharing our treatment philosophy with you. If plastic surgery is right for you or your loved one, we’ll approach it in the most personalized, skilled, compassionate, and confidential manner possible.

Together, we will develop a plan that’s right for you.
