Together, these two have created a Boutique Plastic Surgery practice unlike any other. Dr. Baeke and Suzanne typically provide his patients with a house-call the day following surgery and have been known to drive hundreds of miles to perform their trademark concierge service. Even after the surgery is done, Dr. Baeke's patients have easy access to them both. Again, Park Place Plastic Surgery has set the standard of what a caring boutique plastic surgery practice should be like. Dr. and Mrs. Baeke truly make every patient their top priority.
By design, Dr. Baeke only does what he does best... and this includes all manners of cosmetic breast surgery. Whether your breasts are sagging and need a lift, or painfully large and need a reduction. Whether you are simply wanting a subtle breast enhancement or going for Something Extra Special. You have come to the right place.
Your consultation with Dr. Baeke and Suzanne will not be rushed and will be kept highly confidential. Typically, an hour will be spent explaining all your options. Ultimately, you will tell Dr. Baeke what you want, not the other way around!
