Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implants or fat transfer techniques. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions after weight loss, pregnancy, or as a confidence boost. Our surgeons create customized plans considering body type, implant materials, and desired outcomes. The procedure addresses asymmetry and volume loss while maintaining natural aesthetics. Patients receive detailed pre-operative guidance and post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and satisfaction with their new silhouette.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve appearance and/or function. Performed for cosmetic reasons like hump removal or medically to correct breathing issues from trauma or deformities. Our surgeons combine structural expertise with artistic vision to create balanced facial harmony. The procedure addresses size proportions, tip refinement, and septal deviations. Comprehensive consultations ensure realistic expectations and thorough understanding of surgical possibilities and recovery timelines.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion exfoliates outer skin layers to reveal smoother, rejuvenated texture. This non-invasive treatment addresses fine lines, sun damage, and mild scarring through crystal-free diamond-tip technology. Sessions are quick with no downtime, making it ideal for maintaining skin radiance between other treatments. Regular sessions improve collagen production, creating cumulative benefits for a youthful complexion accessible to all skin types.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tucks remove excess abdominal skin and tighten underlying muscles for a flatter profile. Commonly sought after significant weight loss or pregnancy, this procedure addresses stubborn fat pockets and diastasis recti. The surgery combines liposuction techniques with skin excision for comprehensive contouring. Post-operative support focuses on proper healing to maximize both aesthetic improvements and functional core strength.
Skin Care Services
Our medical-grade skincare services combine advanced treatments and products for lasting dermatological benefits. Offerings include chemical peels, microneedling, and targeted therapies using SkinCeuticals and Jane Iredale lines. Customized regimens address acne, aging, and sun damage through science-backed ingredients. Experienced aestheticians conduct skin analyses to create personalized maintenance plans for optimal long-term results.

I received services from Northland Plastic Surgery for rhinoplasty back in March of this year. It's been 7 months and I'm near final results from the procedure. I spoke with Dr. Baertsch about straightening out my nasal bridge and reducing the size of my nasal tip. Overall my nasal bridge is much straighter. Not perfect, but I'm understanding of the fact that they can only do so much. My nasal tip however is not satisfactory.
One side of my nose is visibly larger than the other. The price of rhinoplasty was cheaper compared to other places I consulted with, so I cannot complain about that. I went in to remove my cast and Dr. Baertsch spoke about another follow up appointment. I never heard back from them; I'm unsure why nobody reached out to me. I'm only somewhat satisfied with the results and left feeling confused as to why the cartilage of my nose was not removed evenly. I'm still insecure with my nose, and hope to seek out further procedures to fix it.

Back on July 28th Dr Fowler did my augmentation on one breast and mastopexy on my other breast. From my consultations to surgery day to follow up appointments, he was there. Not gonna lie I was terrified on surgery day as I've never had a surgery before. Day of my surgery he was there explaining everything again making me comfortable. When it came time and I was on the bed ready for the anesthesia, he held my one hand and a nurse held my other until I was sleeping.
Most amazing experience. 3 months post op and I feel great! Healing is amazing, my breasts look great. They look normal and natural for only having an implant in one. They're now the same size. No more insecurities!

Ardie is absolutely amazing. I had a microdermabrasion with an acid peel two weeks ago. For the first time in a very long time I can honestly say I am in love with my skin. So smooth and youthful looking. Just what I needed after these many months of isolation:

Every patient is different, so ask a lot of questions "what might happen". my experience was not as I anticipated for a facial lipoma. had much swelling, black eyes and numbness. although these were not discussed in detail before or after surgery, when informed, the staff was thorough with recommendations on how to treat.

Skin care was an after-thought until I hit my 50s. I have been very pleased with my consults with Ardie. She customizes each treatment to meet my needs and she recommended a no nonsense daily skin routine to effectively manage my rosacea and maturing skin. I am pleased with the results and I look forward to my visits with Ardie.
