Dear Dr. Van Raalte,
"I wanted to thank you for my great care before, during and after my abdominoplasty. I was impressed with the pre-op instructions, from the vitamins for optimal health, to the pain management. I have had several surgeries throughout my lifetime, this being the first elective surgery. I wish I would have had this kind of care with those surgeries.

Your staff is outstanding. Every one of them made me feel at ease and answered all of my questions with great care. Right before surgery one always feels scared and unsure. Your staff made me feel completely relaxed and assured me of how great the results would be, changing my anxiety to excitement!

I was impressed with the pain management after surgery - an internal pain pump - now there’s a great concept! My pain after surgery was minimal compared to past experiences.

My results are spectacular!! It has been 6 weeks since my abdominoplasty. I have lost a total of 7½ inches around my waist so far! I can tell there is still some swelling and I am so excited about the prospect of even more loss of inches in the coming months. The results have far exceeded my expectations. Not only do I look like a woman in her 20’s (prebaby) - I feel like it too!! A renewed sense of well being is just what I needed at this stage of my life.

Thank you for all you’ve done. If ever I need future plastic surgery, you can be sure that you will be the first person I call. Thanks again!"

"I went to Dr. Van Raalte’s office for breast augmentation surgery and was very, very pleased with his staff, as well as my surgery. I did not have any problems and would recommend him to anyone. If I ever chose to have any further surgery, I would gladly return to Dr. Van Raalte. I am very pleased and extremely satisfied."

"I underwent abdominoplasty and liposuction surgery. I was a size 10/12 and have decreased down to a size 6! I am very satisfied with the results that I have achieved."

"The care that I received from both Dr. Van Raalte and his staff was amazing. I was provided with all of the necessary information for my procedure up front by both the doctor and his conscientious and caring staff. The best reason for choosing Iowa Plastic Surgery over any other clinic is the phenomenal results and the outstanding care that patients receive."

"I recently received two great compliments, both were, "You look younger" and I replied, "Oh, good the surgery worked!"

"Exactly four months after my face lift, one of my sons got married at our home. I am extremely happy with how everything turned out and after looking at some of the pictures of me prior to my surgery, I was shocked at how old I used to look! Thank you so much for everything. Dr. Van Raalte is the best and the girls that I dealt with were very professional. I will be back to have my eyes done in the future."

"Thank you for the truly excellent job you did on my face lift, neck lift, and liposuction of the neck. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I look a lot younger and my double chin is completely gone. Can you believe that when I was going through the checkout at a local grocery store with a bottle of wine, the clerk asked me if I was twenty-one?! I had to make her repeat the question to be sure I heard it correctly. She was probably embarrassed to see the 1952 birth date on my driver’s license, but it made my day! Thanks also to your very friendly and helpful staff. They went out of their way to obtain information for me. When I feel the need to have another face lift, I would definitely want Dr. Van Raalte to do it. I’d recommend you strongly to anyone considering this procedure."
