Bra roll excision is an effective option for removing stubborn back fat and excess skin to create a smoother, more contoured upper back.
 
She was excited to remove that unwanted back fat,  and now over one year post-op from Bra Roll excision + Liposuction, she’s still loving her results.
 
This patient shared, “Dr. Diederich was very sincere and very informative. He made me feel comfortable throughout my surgical journey.”

Choosing the right breast implant is far more complex than picking a cup size.

In this video, Dr. Ryan S. Diederich, board-certified plastic surgeon at MidAmerica Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, explains how breast implants are selected using four key principles: 
• Base diameter (breast width) 
• Implant projection
• Implant volume 
• Implant profile 
 
These concepts are often confusing for patients and poorly explained online. Using clear animations and real surgical planning logic, this video breaks down how surgeons match implants to a patient’s anatomy to achieve natural, balanced, long-term results.

Subtle change. Life-changing confidence.

This young man in his 20s came to us with left-sided gynecomastia. He is a great example fit gynecomastia because it can occur even in men who are lean and active. His goal was simple: better symmetry and feeling more comfortable with his appearance.

We performed an in-office excision of the left side, aiming to match the contour of his right. The result? Natural symmetry that fits his physique and a huge boost in confidence.

Not every transformation is dramatic to the eye, but for the patient, it can be absolutely life-changing. This is one of those cases.
