About the Practice
Practice Philosophy
Dr. Tracy Pfeifer, a board certified plastic surgeon, prioritizes patient safety and patient education at her practice, Pfeifer Plastic Surgery. The combination of her love for the creative process and her perfectionist nature makes her dedicated to natural cosmetic results. Dr. Pfeifer is known for a comprehensive and thorough consultative process, utilizing state-of-the art 3D imaging that can offer the patient a view of prospective surgical outcomes. She strives to meet her patients’ expectations and derives great satisfaction from helping her patients reach their goals. She is committed to surgical refinement, beautiful results and an exceptional patient experience.
Practice Specialization
My special expertise (and love) is plastic surgery of the breast and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck.) I completed specialized fellowship training in plastic surgery of the breast and perform breast augmentation, mastopexy (breast lift), breast reduction, and augmentation with shaped implants as well as complex cosmetic breast surgery, including challenging breast revisions of previous breast augmentation surgeries.
As a proponent of beautiful, natural results, my motto is “Did she or didn’t she.” A philosophy that applies to not only surgery but anti-aging treatments such as Botox®, Dysport®, Juvederm, Sculptra and Radiesse® as well.
