Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking fuller contours, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Our approach prioritizes natural results, with options tailored to body type and goals, ensuring proportionate, long-lasting outcomes.
Facelift
A facelift restores a youthful appearance by addressing sagging skin and wrinkles. We use advanced deep-plane techniques for natural, enduring results. This procedure targets the mid-face, jawline, and neck, offering a refreshed look while preserving facial expressiveness and harmony.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty refines nasal structure to improve aesthetics and function. Our precision-driven approach corrects asymmetry, humps, or breathing issues. Patients receive customized plans, ensuring balanced results that enhance facial symmetry and confidence while maintaining structural integrity.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck flattens the abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening muscles. Ideal for post-pregnancy or weight-loss patients, this procedure restores a sculpted midsection. We combine liposuction when needed for optimal contouring and definition.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores natural contours after mastectomy using implants or autologous tissue. We specialize in DIEP flaps and implant-based methods, focusing on symmetry and emotional healing. Our goal is to rebuild confidence through personalized, compassionate care.

Hi there
My order number is #8857. I paid on July 24. I have tried to contact you many times by email and Facebook to know about my order status but NO ONE ANSWERED. Because I will be leaving South Africa at the end of this month to fly back to Vietnam, so if you are unable to ship the product I purchased, please refund me. I have submitted a refund request at Paypal . Thank you so much!

My journey with Dr. Thomassen started four years ago when I went to him for a consultation for a breast reconstruction after a bilateral mastectomy. I chose him because he understood my fear as this was being done as a preventative measure. Doctor Thomassen is an amazing plastic surgeon and a fantastic doctor. He is caring, honest, and always puts not only my physical need but my emotional needs first. I trust his decision making 100 percent. He is always available for questions and is very reliable. My journey with Dr. Thomassen is still going but I couldn't imagine going through it without his

Its been six years since my lower face lift and I cannot even recall if I left a review. I hope I did! I looked outstanding post procedure!!! I loved having the definition of my lower jawline restored and I looked much younger than my true age. Currently 57.
Anyhow... my lower facelift was amazing! However, nothing lasts forever and I may need some more surgery in the future... and I will return to Dr Thomassen for more surgery as needed. BTW... I dont strive to look perfect.. just good for my age:)

I had a rhinoplasty on December 9, 2020 to fixed some minor scars, and to narrow my nose. After the procedure I woke up hours later in a recovery room all taped, and bandage.
Dr Thomassen came in the room and "said I put two pieces of silicone in the tip of your nose". I didn't give consent to this unskilled doctor to put silicone in my nose. He reconstructed my entire nose,
flattened my bridge completely with no height, bulky tip, wide nostrils. I'm devastated with the results, this surgery has ruin my life.
Dr. Thomessan is a horrible surgeon, his alleged before and after photos are a HOAX

Its been 8 months since my breast lift and eye lid surgery (has a name, don't recall) and I can't be any happier. From the staff with Covid protocols to Dr. T's bed side manners and post op attention it was excellent - you will not be disappointed. I am still applying silicone for my scar but very happy with the results. Thanks Doc!

I have been seeing Dr. Thomassen for the past few years. I had been receiving treatment for breast cancer and needed reconstruction work done. Not only is Dr. Thomassen an amazing surgeon but his compassion and care are unmatched. Truly a beautiful soul. He and his staff worked with me seamlessly through a very long and draining process. Out of all my physicians during my process, He was the most calming and professional. His staff is fabulous and knows me on a first name basis when I call. They were always ready and available to answer my questions and help when needed. I had several surgeries
