Guide to Minnesota Plastic Surgery

Minnesota is home to one of America’s great medical institutions: the Mayo Clinic.  This facility is a medical school, health care facility, research center and the center of a group of health clinics across the state that collectively are known as the Mayo Health System.  Its enormous campus in Rochester, Minnesota employees thirty thousand people.  The Mayo clinic offers a full range of cosmetic surgery at its facility in Rochester as well as at its satellite facilities in Jacksonville, Florida and Scottsdale, Arizona.  Certainly the clinic is one choice for cosmetic surgery in Minnesota; but initially their web page on cosmetic surgery offers an excellent series of suggestions on how to go about selecting a surgeon and how to prepare for the treatment that you are undertaking.

The Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area has a wealth of board certified plastic surgeons operating their own outpatient cosmetic surgery facilities.  One of the characteristics that has become apparent in recent years for aesthetic surgery is the role of specialization.  In areas with a multitude of health facilities and practitioners it is not uncommon to find plastic surgeons who specialize: a doctor who focuses on breast augmentation and reconstruction, for instance, or a surgeon that only takes maxillofacial cases such as eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, face lifts, brow lifts or neck lifts.

The Minneapolis area has a number of cosmetic plastic surgeons who have practices that are large enough to allow them to specialize.  And that brings up the second question you should ask any surgeon you interview.  The first question is “Are you board certified?”  The second question is whether or not the doctor specializes in the area for which you are seeking physical enhancement.

While 60% of Minnesota’s population lives in the Twin Cities area, there are substantial medical facilities in Duluth, in Rochester, in Bloomington and in some of the other smaller cities.  One of the outpatient cosmetic surgery facilities in Duluth advertises “What’s Hot” in the business and explains the use of Botox, Thermage epidermal treatment for increasing collagen growth; and Juvederm and Radiesse injectable fillers to provide a more youthful countenance. 

The use of these recently developed products suggests that Duluth’s cosmetic surgeons are keeping up with the big city surgeons in utilizing modern techniques, not only in injectable form but also such treatments as liposuction and laser skin rejuvenation.   You can expect the same state-of-the-art techniques in most of the cosmetic plastic surgery facilities in Minnesota, in cities both big and small.
