Services
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging by removing excess skin and tightening underlying facial structures. This procedure effectively reduces wrinkles, sagging, and jowling while maintaining natural facial expressions. Patients achieve a refreshed appearance that reflects their youthful vitality through customized surgical techniques tailored to individual facial anatomy.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer techniques. This procedure addresses volume loss, asymmetry, or underdevelopment while maintaining proportionality with the patient's body frame. The surgery offers customizable options for implant type, size, and placement to achieve balanced, natural-looking results that align with personal aesthetic goals.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms to improve body contours. This procedure targets stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise while preserving surrounding tissues. Patients achieve enhanced definition and proportionality through advanced techniques that minimize downtime and optimize skin retraction.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery flattens and tightens the abdominal area by removing excess skin and repairing separated muscles. This procedure addresses post-pregnancy changes and stubborn fat deposits while restoring core strength. Patients benefit from improved waistline contours and enhanced self-confidence through comprehensive abdominal rejuvenation that combines skin removal with muscle tightening.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy makeover combines multiple procedures to address common post-pregnancy concerns like breast changes and abdominal laxity. This customized treatment plan typically includes breast lift/augmentation with tummy tuck surgery to restore pre-pregnancy contours. Patients achieve comprehensive body rejuvenation through coordinated procedures that address multiple areas of concern in a single surgical session.

I got a DiamondGlow from Erin, she is an AMAZING aesthetician. Right after the DiamondGlow, she did extractions and applied this phenomenal cooling mask. The facility is one of the most gorgeous buildings I've been in. I left with a big smile on my face, it was a great experience from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend Meridian for aesthetic skin services, Erin is very experienced and so sweet!

Dr. Tjelmeland removed a basal-cell growth from the bridge of my nose. The surgical results are excellent-you literally cannot tell there were stitches. Also, when he learned that I was being charged over $1,900 for the skin medication, Dr. Tjelmeland worked with the pharmacy to find an equivalent drug with a $10 co-pay. I could not be more pleased with the experience.

Dr. Tjelmeland and his entire staff were extremely professional and friendly. They were all very knowledgeable and had great communication throughout my consultation and procedures. I have gone to them several times for laser hair removal and tear trough injections. Dr. Tjelmeland was awesome and also answered additional questions I had about potential future procedures and what to expect. I would highly recommend, and I will suggest to my friends and family. I reached out to a few other plastic surgeons offices and felt most at ease with Meridian Plastic Surgery Center. I will continue to be a patient for a long time.

I've been a patient with Dr. Tjelmeland since 2014 when he did my breast augmentation which I LOVED, couldn't be happier with the results. I went back a few weeks ago for a lift/ revision due to my lifestyle change (kids, fitness etc) and I'm extremely happy, once again, with the procedure and I'm healing nicely. I'll update if anything changes On a side note his staff has always been a pleasure to work with. Thanks, Shanna
