Practice Philosophy

Our mission is to help people look and feel better about themselves.

Our vision is to be recognized and respected as one of the finest cosmetic surgical facilities and medical spas in the Midwest.

Our values as a cosmetic surgery based business that offers medical-grade treatments are as follows: Quality, Ethics and Compassion.

Your privacy is protected with Iowa Plastic Surgery. Cosmetic surgery procedures are vastly growing in popularity; however, we understand that it is important to maintain sensitivity to our patients' privacy. Rest assured that you will always receive confidential and professional care with us. Our new facility was designed with confidentiality/your protection in mind.

Practice Specialization

Dr. Van Raalte has special expertise in a wide variety of newer facelift techniques, including the suture and Endotine mid-face lifts with small, hidden incisions, and facelifts with elevation of the sagging deep tissues for a relaxed, younger, and refreshed look. We offer external ultrasound after liposuction treatments. Our practice also performs a considerable number of abdominoplasties, or tummy tucks, including mini, full, and belt lipectomies. Dr. Van Raalte also performs cosmetic rhinoplasties (nose surgery) referred by other physicians.

We have expertise in round, high profile, anatomic or shaped implants, gel and expandable breast implants. Dr. Van Raalte is one of the few surgeons with extensive experience placing both round and shaped implants through axillary or armpit incisions. The armpit incision can be very small and usually fades to a line that is difficult to perceive. We also place implants through an incision in the nipple or under the breast. We use different implants and incisions for each patient, using our skill and techniques to fit your needs.

Surgical Facility

Our office operating room is spacious and designed with safety to meet nationally recognized standards. It is fully equipped, luxurious, and private. Our nurses specialize in plastic surgery. We are approved by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, which sets the standards for quality in health care.

For your postoperative recovery, we are staffed to provide extraordinary patient care in our on-site recovery area while you are with us after the completion of your procedure. There, you will be able to rest and relax until you are ready to go home the same day. Hotel arrangements can also be made for stays in the area.
