The Twin Cities’ longest continually operating plastic surgery practice—helping patients reveal their true selves since 1983.


In most states there are no laws preventing doctors from performing procedures outside of the specialty in which they were trained. So it’s not uncommon to find doctors of various specialties calling themselves “cosmetic surgeons” and performing procedures for which they’ve never been fully trained.


Only surgeons certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery may refer to themselves as board-certified plastic surgeons. ABPS-certified surgeons complete at least six years of surgical training following medical school including two to three years of plastic surgery residency training.


Both Dr. Gervais and Dr. Tholen have completed seven years of surgical training after medical school, each receiving certification by the American Board of Surgery, followed by full subspecialty fellowship in plastic surgery and certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. You can be confident that your MPS plastic surgeon has the best available training, recognized by the most discerning board in medicine.


Minneapolis Plastic Surgery, LTD surgeons have been named Top Doctors by Mpls.St. Paul Magazine since 2014.

Each year Mpls.St. Paul Magazine asks area physicians to nominate one or more doctors (excluding themselves) to whom they would go if they or a loved one were seeking medical care. Only doctors with the highest total points from the peer survey, the magazine’s research, and review by a blue-ribbon panel of physicians are included on the final list. Minneapolis Plastic Surgery is proud our surgeons are consistently included in this distinguished group.

With over 30 years of experience as a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Richard H. Tholen has a well-earned reputation among both his peers and his patients for his scientific background, artistic insight, and ethical aesthetic surgery practice. His career-spanning commitment to teaching, writing, charitable work, and plastic surgical innovation is distilled into every treatment and procedure his patients receive at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery, Ltd.

A Minnesota native with a national reputation, Dr. Douglas Gervais is a board-certified plastic surgeon who serves the Twin Cities with exceptional skill, assured experience, and aesthetic vision. As a member of the Board of Directors for the Boys and Girls Club and as the Medical Director for the Get Out Program, Dr. Gervais continues the mission he accomplishes every day at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery, Ltd: transforming lives for the better.

1) Are you board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)? If yes, are you participating in and have you completed the required Maintenance of Certification (MOC)?

Why this is important: The ABPS is the gold standard of board certifications for plastic surgeons. It is the only plastic surgery board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). The ABMS oversees all legitimate boards for medicine such as pediatricians, other surgical specialties, radiology, etc. To be certified by the ABPS, I completed seven years of surgical training and had to pass a difficult written exam and a very rigorous oral exam.

The ABMS-developed MOC is a professional response to the need for public accountability and transparency. All 24 members of ABMS agreed to this recertification program. Through MOC, physicians demonstrate their commitment to achieving quality clinical outcomes for patients. This program operates on a 10-year cycle that started in 2000. I have participated and successfully completed two cycles. I am currently working on my third cycle. All surgeons should participate in this program. If your surgeon is not, ask them why. “I’m Grandfathered in” is not a good answer in my opinion. I think the older the surgeon, the more they need to stay up to date. Hold your surgeon accountable.

2) How many (name of procedure) do you perform in a year and how many have you done in your career?

4worldlovers:
Welcome to the website of Gryskiewicz Twin Cities Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz (pronounced “Gris-KA-vitz”) is a well-established plastic surgeon who has been serving the Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota areas for over 35 years. Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, he has expertise performing a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, as well as non-surgical treatments designed to rejuvenate and enhance your natural features without the recovery time associated with major surgery. Dr. Joe specializes in Quick Recovery Breast Augmentation and is adept in a number of other procedures, including rhinoplasty, gynecomastia, labiaplasty, abdominoplasty, liposuction, and much more. He has given over five hundred lectures in countries around the world, and often works as a visiting professor to prestigious academic institutions. Whether you seek to address a lingering concern or simply make a positive change to your life, Dr. Joe is dedicated to using his decades of aesthetic training and surgical mastery to fulfill your enhancement goals. With locations in both Edina and Burnsville, Minnesota, Gryskiewicz Twin Cities Cosmetic Surgery is committed to safety, stringent standards of ethical treatment, and the highest caliber of patient care.

Our board-certified plastic surgeon is extensively trained in aesthetics and specializes in Quick Recovery Breast Augmentation, a dynamic procedure that improves upon traditional methods of breast enhancement by minimizing the amount of tissue damage, post-operative discomfort, and recovery time for patients. This technique has remarkably allowed 95 percent of women to return to normal daily activities within 24 hours. Patients choose their preferred location of incisions (underarm, breast crease, or around the areola), implant type, and implant placement for treatment that is custom-tailored to their needs.

Dr. Joe performs over 300 breast augmentation procedures per year and have performed 6000+ in total. He has helped thousands of women achieve beautiful, natural-looking breasts, making him one of the most experienced breast augmentation surgeons in the Midwest. Dr. Joe speaks internationally on the subject and his knowledge on breast implants and breast augmentation has been published in peer review and aesthetic surgery journals.


Among our plastic surgeon’s extensive research are studies exploring which surgical techniques can produce the highest level of long-term patient satisfaction after breast augmentation, as well as whether certain practices can yield a quicker recovery process. In fact, you can read the articles Dr. Joe has authored on performing breast augmentation without incurring a visible incision, and achieving a 24-hour recovery period, in The Aesthetic Surgery Journal below:

• Transaxillary Nonendoscopic Subpectoral Augmentation Mammaplasty: A 10-Year Experience With Gel vs. Saline in 2000 Patients—With Long-Term Patient Satisfaction Measured by the BREAST-Q.”

95 percent of women interviewed after the procedure returned to normal daily activities within 24 hours

Our plastic surgeon performs an innovative form of breast enhancement called the Dual Plane Breast Augmentation, a procedure that can simultaneously add volume and lift to breasts affected by minor ptosis (breast sag), while avoiding the usual degree of scarring that results from a classic breast lift. The surgery does not require significant external incisions, except for a small incision within the breast fold. Women who undergo this “internal” breast lift can achieve beautiful, natural-looking breast enlargement and improved projection without extensive surgical scarring.

Dr. Joe explores this innovative procedure further in an article he authored for The Aesthetic Surgery Journal, in which he measures the technique’s effectiveness in treating patients with a minimal amount of ptosis (drooping). Read about Dr. Joe’s findings by following the link below:

The dual plane can help some patients with minor drooping avoid a classic breast lift.
