About Us
Why Choose Edina Plastic Surgery
Picking a plastic surgeon is not like picking a contractor or a dentist. You are handing someone your safety, your recovery time, and the way you see yourself in the mirror for years afterward. That is a lot to ask of anyone, and at Edina Plastic Surgery, we have never taken it lightly.
Since 1977, people across the Twin Cities have placed their trust in us. We have built our whole practice around being worth it. So if you are weighing your options for plastic surgery, here is an honest look at what sets us apart.
Experience and Recognition That Adds Up
Every one of our surgeons is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the field’s most rigorous credential, and their standing shows up in how their peers and patients regard them. Several of our plastic surgeons have been recognized by peer physicians as Mpls.St.Paul Magazine Top Doctors year after year. Over the years, surgeons on our team have also been named Best Doctors for Women by Minnesota publications, earned the national Patients’ Choice Award, been recognized as Best Plastic Surgeon by a national industry magazine, and listed among Twin Cities Business‘ Top 100 People to Know. As a practice, Edina Plastic Surgery has been voted Best Cosmetic Surgery and Best Rhinoplasty in the Star Tribune’s Minnesota’s Best Reader’s Choice Awards.
This recognition reflects the skill, judgment, and patient care our colleagues and patients see every day. But it is the work behind that recognition that we are proudest of.
Across nearly five decades, we have cared for thousands of people in Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs, each one trusting us with something personal. That kind of longevity is hard to fake. It shows up in steadier hands, sharper judgment about what will and will not work for you, and the quiet confidence that comes from having helped so many patients.
A Dedicated Team, So You Are Matched With the Right Surgeon
Plastic surgery covers a lot of ground, and no single surgeon is the best fit for every patient or every procedure. Having a group of board-certified plastic surgeons under one roof means we can pair you with the one whose training and focus line up with what you are after.
During your consultation, we listen first. We want to understand your goals before we ever talk technique, and from there, we point you toward the approach, and the surgeon, that makes the most sense for you.
Your Safety Is Built Into the Building
Your procedure is performed in an accredited surgical setting, whether that is our own on-site surgical center, which features two state-of-the-art operating rooms and a dedicated minor procedure room, or one of the accredited off-site ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) where our surgeons operate regularly. And when a procedure calls for a hospital setting, our surgeons operate at M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital, directly across the street from us.
Our surgical center is accredited by Quad A (the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities), an organization that holds outpatient centers to hospital-level standards. Accreditation is not a certificate you hang on the wall and forget. It holds us to strict, regularly reviewed standards for safety, equipment, staffing, and patient care, and it keeps us refining how we work. Everyone here at Edina Plastic Surgery takes part in that process, from the plastic surgeons to the nurses to the front desk. It is one of the clearest ways we can show you, rather than just tell you, that safety comes first.

See Your Results Before You Commit
We are the only practice in the Twin Cities with the Vectra XT 3D imaging system. For the right procedures, it lets you preview a simulation of your potential results in three dimensions, so the conversation about your goals starts with something you can see rather than just imagine. It tends to make a nerve-wracking decision feel a lot more grounded.
Care That Doesn’t End When the Procedure Does
Your consultation, preparation, and follow-up care stay anchored with the team at Edina Plastic Surgery, and no matter where your surgery takes place, your surgeon brings members of your familiar team along. You are never handed off to strangers during the parts of the process that feel most vulnerable. You will know who is caring for you, you will get straight answers to your questions, and you will know exactly who to call if something feels off. That continuity is a big part of why people come back to us and send their friends and family our way.
What Our Patients Say
The most honest read on our work is what people say once they are on the other side of it. Here are just a few words from real patients:
“I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. From my very first consultation with Dr. Wilke, I felt reassured and truly heard. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explain everything clearly, and make sure I felt comfortable every step of the way.”
“I had a great experience here. I had consultation from two different doctors at this clinic, both were so knowledgeable but more importantly, they both made me feel so comfortable!”
You can read many more real patient reviews on our patient testimonials page and Google reviews.
Aesthetic Care Beyond the Operating Room
For nonsurgical treatments like injectables, lasers, and skincare, our affiliated med spa, Skin Artisans, offers expert care at locations across the Twin Cities. Skin Artisans was founded by the board-certified plastic surgeons of Edina Plastic Surgery, so the same standards of expertise and safety run through it, with its own dedicated aesthetics and wellness team.
