Minneapolis Plastic Surgery - Richard H Tholen

Whether you desire a more youthful, refreshed appearance, or wish to improve certain facial features like the face, nose, chin, cheeks, or ears, Dr. Richard H. Tholen and Dr. Douglas L. Gervais can help. We strive to achieve natural results that do not look "done" or over-tightened, yet provide long-lasting improvements.

A balanced jawline with a well-defined chin lends an air of authority to the male face, while creating a more harmonious and beautiful facial proportion in women. In some patients, both male and female, bite imbalance and teeth misalignment require orthodontic care or even jaw surgery. But in many individuals whose teeth match up properly and are not candidates for (or have already had) orthodontia or jaw surgery, chin implants provide a permanent and normal-feeling chin augmentation.Small solid silicone implants have been developed specifically for implantation in the chin area, and are designed to fit securely to the bone beneath the facial tissues.

Eyelid surgery and brow lift surgery can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence by eliminating the drooping, sagging, and protrusion in the upper and lower eyelid and brow areas that can create a tired or angry look. These outpatient procedures are frequently performed in our nationally-accredited (AAAASF) in-office surgical facility at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery, LTD. With lower lid blepharoplasty (lower eyelid surgery), loose, wrinkled, or sagging skin and protruding fat pads under the eyes can be corrected.

When choosing a plastic surgeon to operate on your face, it is important to keep in mind that a precise and technically advanced operation that provides a natural "not-too-tight" look is usually best. No one wants a tightly-pulled, "wind tunnel, " or unnatural-looking face with unsightly visible scars.
