From the reviews
I have had 2 surgeries under Dr. Tjelmeland’s care. The first was in 2012, and one week ago (Nov 2024). I cannot even begin to tell you how much gratitude I have for this incredible staff! My first surgery was the hardest to decide on what doctor.
What a wonderful experience. As a mother of a one-year-old my confidence was at an all-time low because things just aren’t the same after you have a baby. I was very worried about getting surgery, but I knew that it would be something so good for my Self-esteem I started doing research. I found Dr.
I rarely will take the time to leave reviews, but this experience I had with Meridian was worth sharing. I interviewed many places before deciding to go with Dr. T and his staff for a breast aug and a few other minor face procedures.
Dr. Tjelmeland is an excellent surgeon who cares about the results of his work. I went to 6 consultation and Dr. Tjelmeland was by far the best. I've had 4 different procedures with him and the results are outstanding. I've referred over 5 friends to his practice who have also been very impressed with his work.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
