Services
Breast Augmentation
Enhance breast size and shape through surgical implant placement. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions, post-pregnancy restoration, or symmetry correction. Our board-certified surgeon utilizes advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results with proper implant positioning. Patients benefit from personalized consultations to determine optimal implant size, type, and incision approach while maintaining safety standards.
Facelift Surgery
Restore youthful facial contours by addressing sagging skin and deep wrinkles. This procedure tightens underlying tissues and removes excess skin to create a refreshed appearance. Suitable for patients with visible aging in the lower face and neck regions. Our approach emphasizes natural results while maintaining facial expressiveness through advanced surgical techniques.
Tummy Tuck
Sculpt a flatter abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening muscles. Addresses post-pregnancy changes and stubborn fat deposits unresponsive to diet and exercise. Combines muscle repair with skin removal for comprehensive body contouring. Patients achieve improved self-confidence through enhanced abdominal definition and proportion.
Liposuction
Remove localized fat deposits from multiple body areas including abdomen, thighs, and arms. Best suited for patients near ideal weight with good skin elasticity. Utilizes advanced techniques to create smoother contours while minimizing tissue trauma. Provides permanent fat reduction when combined with healthy lifestyle maintenance.
Mommy Makeover
Custom combination of procedures to address multiple post-pregnancy concerns. Typically includes breast surgery and abdominal reshaping to restore pre-pregnancy contours. May incorporate additional procedures based on individual needs. Addresses common issues like breast sagging, stretch marks, and diastasis recti for comprehensive body rejuvenation.

Questions
What is the recovery process like after breast augmentation?
Most patients resume light activities within a week, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and monitor progress through follow-up appointments.
How long do facelift results typically last?
Results generally last 7-10 years, with proper skincare and sun protection extending outcomes. Maintaining a stable weight also preserves surgical results.
Can tummy tuck surgery address stretch marks?
Abdominoplasty removes skin with stretch marks below the navel while tightening remaining skin. Results vary depending on individual skin elasticity and scar formation.
Is liposuction a weight loss solution?
Liposuction targets stubborn fat pockets rather than serving as primary weight loss. Best results occur in patients near ideal body weight with good skin elasticity.
What makes a mommy makeover unique?
This customized approach combines multiple procedures to address specific post-pregnancy concerns, creating synergistic results that individual surgeries cannot achieve alone.
How do I prepare for plastic surgery?
Follow pre-operative instructions including medication adjustments, undergo required medical evaluations, and attend all consultation appointments to discuss expectations and surgical planning.

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.
