PLASTIC SURGERY PRACTICE MINNEAPOLIS

We are dedicated to excellence and enhancing your appearance and self-image. I offer myself, my talents, skills, and a commitment to making a difference in your life. A strong emphasis has been placed on before and after photographs of patients I have treated. The essence of a plastic surgeon’s work can only be judged by seeing his or her results. I also find it helpful to have you talk with other patients of mine who have undergone similar procedures.

I invite you to call my office at (651)-686-4548 in Minneapolis – St. Paul, Minnesota to arrange a cosmetic consultation with me, so I can listen to your concerns, educate you about what is available for you, and make recommendations. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to achieve your goals. We pride ourselves in giving our patients personal attention. Your personal consultation lasts about an hour. Dr. Hoffman believes that superb cosmetic surgical results depend on a combination of preoperative education, surgical expertise and caring, compassionate postoperative care.

Search For The Right Surgeon:

I encourage you to see more than one doctor and choose the one you feel most comfortable with. When interviewing doctors, there are questions you should ask to help differentiate an appropriately trained plastic surgeon. Are they Board Certified? Make sure it is certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. How many procedures have they done? Do they have references? Can you speak with other patients who have had the procedure you are interested in? Can you see photos of the plastic surgeon’s prior patients? Do you like the way these patients look?

Choose A Surgeon You Are Comfortable With:

Surgery is a big decision regardless of the surgery you are interested in. You need to be comfortable with your doctor. You need to be able to express your goals and concerns, and know your doctor is listening to you. Based on your goals, I then review procedure options, risks, and the postoperative course. A natural appearing result is emphasized, and safety is always my highest priority. I value my relationship with my patients. It is part of what makes my job so rewarding.

Services Offered

The procedure listing includes the most commonly performed procedures. Please call our office for information on procedures not listed here.

Face Procedures:

Blepharoplasty

• Eyelid surgery can remove the excess fat and drooping skin of the upper eyelids, minimize bags under the eyes, and tighten lower eyelid skin. The result is a more youthful and rested appearance.

Chin Augmentation

• The contour of the chin, the nasal profile, and the angularity of the jawline all exert an effect on facial beauty. For example, a strong nose will accentuate a weak chin. A chin implant can restore facial harmony and give the entire profile a more pleasing balance.

Cleft Lip Repair

• Anticipating the birth of a child is an exciting event. The child who is so eagerly awaited is not visualized as a child with a defect. To the parents, the birth of a child with a cleft can seem overwhelming. The mother of a child with a significant cleft lip deformity can feel a sense of despair upon the birth of the child, which is compounded by the inevitable initial feeding difficulties. The surgeons’ role at the initial consultation is to provide reassurance to the family.

Face Lift

• A face lift cannot stop the aging process. What a facelift does best, is to simply set back the clock. A facelift can improve the deep cheek folds, jowls and loose, sagging skin around the neck that comes with age.

Lip Augmentation

• Pretty, full lips convey a look of youth and sensuality. Not everyone is born with full lips, and those who are often find their youthful lips lose their fullness with time. Collagen and fat injection are the most reliable procedures to restore the fullness to a woman’s lips.
