No one wants a tightly-pulled, "wind tunnel, " or unnatural-looking face with unsightly visible scars. Some potential face lift patients are fearful of general anesthesia. Coincidentally, this is what attracts some patients to the idea that a "lunchtime, " mini-lift, "Threadlift, " or "Lifestyle Lift" might give good results with local anesthesia, less downtime, bruising, or cost.

Comprised of several layers of tissue, your skin absorbs much of the damage of daily life: sun rays, dust, cuts and scrapes-our skin shields us from many of these things, but at the price of lost color, lost elasticity, lost years. At Minneapolis Plastic Surgery, we believe in rewarding your skin for all the hard work it does-you can remove age spots, wrinkles, and feel more youthful. We don't achieve these results by subjecting you to every new treatment or newest fad-only those procedures that we feel will achieve the best results are recommended for your specific concerns.

Beware of "cosmetic surgeons" who claim board-certification by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (NOT an ABMS member board) or boards that have little or nothing to do with plastic surgery.
