From the reviews

Amazing doctor. Really profesional and knowledgeable. Some people review him as “arrogant” based on different things - like interviews, forum replies, etc without actual surgery experience with him. I was his patient and he done an amazing job. He Is very polite, thoughtful and easy going.

★★★★★ — Elena, Dec 2018

Trans/Queer surgery: I had top-surgery in May 2013 with Dr. Tholen. I chose him because I had a few friends and other folks in the community receive top-surgery from him with amazing results.

★★★★★ — Spencer, Nov 2018

Dr. Tholen is amazing. Look at his track record. I went in thinking I needed a lot of work. If anything he under sells. He knows exactly what he's talking about, and I trust him 100%. If you were thinking about any cosmetic surgery, please see Dr. Tholen.

★★★★★ — Michael, Oct 2018

110% satisfied with my experience and results with Dr Tholen and Minneapolis Plastic Surgery as a whole. My husband and I consulted with five surgeons before deciding to go with Dr Tholen's office. His knowledge, instincts and experience were far more extensive than any others we met with.

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.
