Welcome to our new Plastic Surgery blog.
We offer complimentary consultations for cosmetic and skin rejuvenation services. For other procedures, patients are responsible for any health insurance co-pay or deductibles.
Choosing to have plastic surgery is an important decision and so is selecting a plastic surgeon. It can be difficult for consumers to evaluate competence or qualifications of a surgeon so the medical profession offers a form of accreditation. After many years of formal education, specialized training and surgical residencies, surgeons take extremely rigorous written and oral exams. This training and distinction uniquely qualifies them to perform plastic surgery on the face and all parts of the body.
You will find our surgeons friendly, professional and understanding. They listen with care and no question is too small, unimportant or wrong.
Our entire HealthPartners Plastic Surgery team is experienced and trained to provide support to our physicians and patients. They are committed to effectively provide you with outstanding care and a positive experience that is personal, sensitive and confidential.

I have been practicing in the Twin Cities since 2008 following completion of my fellowship at the University of Minnesota. I maintain active hospital staff privileges at many of the East Metro hospitals. I developed an interest in plastic surgery while in my first year of medical school where I caught a glimpse of the many changes that can be made through reconstruction.

I became a plastic surgeon because I wanted to use my talent and creativity to improve people’s well-being. After graduating at the top of my class in college and medical school (with AOA and GHHS induction), I completed a full 6-year plastic surgery residency where I cultivated my expertise in the entire scope of the specialty. I then advanced through a yearlong hand & microsurgery fellowship where I refined my skill performing complex plastic surgeries, such as DIEP flaps. Full Bio »Andrea “Annie” Combs, PA-C
