Refined Expertise in Breast and Body Aesthetics

With more than 20 years in the operating room, Jennifer Berry Matthesen, MD, is a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon specializing in breast surgery and body contouring, with a reputation for results that feel proportionate and enduring.

She approaches each case with a focus on balance and control, avoiding results that feel excessive. Her experience across both general and cosmetic surgery supports her work in more complex procedures, where planning and intraoperative decisions are equally important.

Specialized Focus in Breast Surgery

Dr. Matthesen’s practice focuses on breast procedures, including augmentation, lift, reduction, revision, and implant exchange. Each surgical plan is built around the patient’s existing anatomy, with close attention to proportion, tissue quality, and structural support. Her experience in both cosmetic and reconstructive settings informs how these procedures settle and maintain their shape over time.

She also performs body contouring procedures such as tummy tuck, liposuction, arm lift, and thigh lift. These procedures are often combined to address multiple areas in a single plan, creating a more cohesive change in shape while preserving overall balance.

She is triple board-certified by the American Board of Surgery, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, and the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery, demonstrating advanced training in both general and aesthetic surgery.
