“The decision to undergo plastic surgery is a significant one and your choice in a surgeon is equally as important.

Patients not only look better but will feel happier, more attractive, and more self confident.”
Patient Review
“Dr. Rechner and the staff were so kind, welcoming, and helpful during my consultation! I had a lot of questions regarding my options as well as surgery. The information was very helpful and thorough. I scheduled my surgery within the same week, I had many scheduling needs due to my work schedule and the staff was so helpful and patient with me. Then for my pre-op appointment the information I received put me at ease and answered all my questions at the time. The staff has since sent me reminder emails, and I’ve been able to email additional questions that came up as well. Emails have been answered within the day, or the following business day. I have been so impressed with every aspect of my time here, and with the interactions I’ve had, I fully trust the staff for my breast lift/augmentation surgery next week.” -Breast Lift & Augmentation Patient, Dr. Rechner
