THE BENEFITS OF CHOOSING DR THEUNISSEN AS YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON

Dr. Theunissen is a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon. He has extensive training in craniofacial, reconstructive, and microsurgery.

Unfortunately, many doctors claim to be “cosmetic surgeons” but lack training, expertise, and board certification. Therefore, seeking treatment from a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is imperative when exploring cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Theunissen is an active member of multiple professional organizations and memberships, including worldwide leaders in plastic surgery and the highest patient safety standards. Dr. Theunissen’s experience with complex reconstructive procedures allows him to safely and predictably achieve excellent results.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR CONSULTATION

Dr. Theunissen understands opting for plastic surgery in Baton Rouge is a big step, and it can often be uncomfortable. This is why he takes it upon himself and his staff to make his new and existing patients feel as comfortable and informed as possible. He thoroughly listens to every patient’s questions and concerns because he realizes most patients do not want to go to multiple surgeons or go through the process numerous times.

During your initial consultation, you will sit down with Dr. Theunissen to discuss your plastic surgery goals in detail. Once your questions and concerns are answered, Dr. Theunissen will discuss the best surgical techniques to achieve your desired results.

Dr. Theunissen’s cosmetic surgery patients are seen at his office at 5233 Dijon Drive, Baton Rouge, LA, near Essen and Perkins. This is also the facility where cosmetic surgical procedures are performed. In addition, our office retains a full-time Board Certified Anesthesiologist who will ensure the highest level of safety during your process.
