Plastic surgery

Our team of plastic surgeons is the largest in the Twin Cities and offers a full range of plastic and reconstructive surgery options.

You’ll get clear answers about what plastic surgery procedure is best for you, with a team of experts ready to help you prepare and recover.

We understand that plastic surgery affects patients on a very personal level. We start by making sure we understand your goals and can answer all your questions.

When you’ve had an injury or illness that changed your appearance, or when a condition prevents you from fully using a part of your body, plastic surgery can help restore, rebuild or regain appearance and function.

At HealthPartners and Park Nicollet, we offer safe, effective treatments in our hospitals and nationally accredited outpatient surgery centers. Our doctors are board-certified or board-eligible by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. They are also members or candidates for active membership of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Our surgeons work closely with other specialists like oncologists, dermatologists and pediatricians to choose the procedures that will best help you achieve your goals.
