Dr Szachowicz helps you to look like how you feel on the inside.
He takes care of the lines, furrows and deep creases that creep into our face as we start to get older.
I have seen other Cosmetic Surgeons, but none holds a candle to the knowledge and expertise of Dr S.
He takes the time to listen and explain so you are always confident and happy with the results
Once you experience Your New Beginning, you will never want to see anyone else.
Thank you Dr S.

I felt that throughout the entire experience I was treated with the utmost respect . My voice was heard! I was treated with care and concern every step of the way! Dr. Szachowicz is extremely professional. He treated me as if I was the only patient he had during each and every visit!

I had used a med spa in the past and started looking over-filled and very un-natural. Dr. Szachowicz was wonderful and he has made my eyes look even better with a much more natural appearance.

Thank you Dr. Szachowicz and Victor!

Dr. Szachowicz took on my case when another local plastic surgeon said she could not help me. Dr. Szachowicz was kind, patient, and caring. He gave me specific directions for skin care and created a plan with Refissa and Sculptra that literally took 10 years off my appearance over about 4 months. I will be forever grateful for his medical expertise, his vision to see the possibilities for me, and his artistic application of the products he used. He goes above and beyond for his clients.

i would highly refer dr szachowicz to any needing any kind of facial care

Sculptra has changed my overall appearance! Currently I am 50 years old and people mistake me for 40 something.

My age does not bother me because I feel put together every day!

It has been a very positive experience with Dr. Szachowicz and his office staff.

Dr. Szachowicz is so meticulous, thorough and professional.

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Edward Szachowicz and his assistant Victor Rivera of Facial Plastic Surgery Specialists-Edina. I would like to tell you about the experience I had before, during and after Fraxel surgery which Dr. Szachowicz performed on my face, neck, chest and shoulders a few months ago. Dr. Szachowicz came highly recommended by an acquaintance who said that she wouldn't let anyone touch her face but him, although I didn't go without doing some research on my own and consulted with two other top clinics in the Edina area that are heavily advertised. Both clinics were similar and very nice but in both cases trained assistants do the work rather than a doctor. What I found at Facial Plastic Surgery Specialists was entirely different from the moment I entered the office. Firstly, it was empty. I soon learned that discretion is a priority for the staff. You will rarely see another patient when you come and go. While in the waiting area I enjoyed some tea and a Lindt chocolate after being greeted by Victor Rivera the office manager. Victor is always professional, kind and friendly. He will take the time to help you in any way he can. I had a few minutes wait and this was the one and only time I have waited more than a few seconds before being lead to a room. I soon met with Dr. Szachowicz who I would come to know as extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly meticulous in his expertise. This, along with being a thoughtful and compassionate person is why I wanted to write this review. I have never met any other physician quite like him for he takes great care to make sure you know what he is doing and are comfortable. He sees to every detail of your care and comfort and truly cares about your concerns and desires. He listened to what I was hoping to achieve and explained to me the reasons he felt that Fraxel surgery along with Botox would be the most beneficial for me and a great starting point. I have quite a bit of sun damage: spots, freckles, crepe under my eyes, the start of sagging joules, and turkey neck as well as acne scaring. The Fraxel rid my face of every freckle and sun spot and lessened my under eye craping. Small lines and other skin imperfections are gone. My scaring became lessened and my pores, smaller. Before the surgery the doctor explained in detail about the procedure and what to expect. I took one week off of work but you can go back after only about three days if you don't mind the redness. The surgery itself does not hurt as you are asleep the whole time. You return to the office every day for the next three days afterwards and Dr. Szachowicz cleans and checks your skin and the healing himself. You will have a RX for pain in the days after your treatment but I found that I hardly needed them. The Fraxal, along with the Botox took years of serious sun damage off my face. Once I recovered, people started commenting about my skin and would ask me what products I was using!! I need to talk about the care you must take in the first few days after having the laser treatment because for some, it may be prohibitive. After your surgery your skin needs to be cleaned every two hours which is a process and consists of removing the Vaseline that covers the procedure (dabbing with gauze) then washing the area 4/6 times (I did this in the shower), then toning with a water and vinegar solution and lastly reapplying the Vaseline. This all needs to be done every 2 hours and once during the night around 2AM. For me this was not a problem and as I knew what to expect and was prepared; I thought at it as putting me one step closer to new, beautiful skin. These few days went very fast for me and once the healing was done I was amazed that it virtually erased so much damage. I am 56 years old and am told often that I don't look my age which is always nice to hear but for me the very best thing is having the nicest skin I have had since I was very young. After years of acne, cysts and large

I finally look like I feel! For a while, I felt that my looks did not reflect how I felt inside - I'm sure I am not the first one you have heard saying this before .... I was somewhat concerned (read scared) about what I would look like after surgery and kept postponing doing something about it ... that is until more and more younger-looking people continue to be hired at my place of employment .... I felt old and motivated enough to actually do something about it. I saw four physicians in consultation and felt most comfortable with doctor Szachowicz in terms of his experience and results he gets. In addition, he listened to my concerns, and was most receptive to my wanting to not only look younger but natural - I am really critical of some of the people I see out and about in Edina: the dreadful surprised and wind-tunnel looks! He took about one hour in consultation with me - in contrast, I felt rushed in two other consultations, handed from one person to another on the third. but enough of that ... I had my facelift and don't regret having done it: I love my results! Exactly what I wanted!

I previously saw a plastic surgeon for botox who placed the needle in the wrong area which resulted in drooped eye lids for several weeks while on vacation in France. I was reluctant to try botox again but was told Dr. Szachowicz was the best....and he is. I have been a loyal patient for 15 years

I felt I had excellent care and excellent follow up. I liked that Dr. Szachowicz explained everything in medical terms and gave me facts and figures. Dr. Szachowicz delivered everything he promised. I felt he really cared about my progress. I am extremely pleased with the results of my treatment. Some of my friends have said the work done on my face was the best they had seen. Dr. Szachowicz's office and staff are very inviting. I am extremely satisfied with my treatment and my choice in surgeons.

its always been great.

Dr. S has been so kind and caring during my consultation and procedures.

If you are a person of a certain age trying to feel and look your best, do yourself a favor and find out how Dr. Szachowicz in Edina, MN can help you achieve that goal. My wife and I have had botox, fillers, chemical peels and laser treatments for several years and thought we look pretty good for our age, until about two years ago when I ran into an old friend of mine (a contemporary of my wife and I) who looked a good 10 years younger than we were at the time!! He looked great, as he assured me his wife did as well!! My wife and I decided to give Dr. Szachowicz a try and were VERY pleased with the results: we look our best, yet very "natural".... gone is the "had work done" look we were not aware we had. Thanks Dr. Szachowicz!

I have been seeing Dr Szachowicz for over 5 years and I couldnt' be happier with my treatments and results. He is extremely brilliant, knowledgeable, and honest. I have recommended him to many friends and will not go to anyone else.

Dr S. is very professional and also very kind, caring physician. He is an excellent plastic surgeon and a top doctor in the Twin Cities. I would recommend him highly for your plastic surgery needs.

I trust the recommendations of Dr. Szachowicz and his attention to detail is excellent. His caring attitude is comforting and I feel special.

Dr. Szachowicz always spends a lot of time with me, explaining how and what he is doing during any procedures I have done. He answers all of my questions, no matter how trivial they may be. He is very kind, gentle and knowledgeable. I recommend him highly!!

Dr. S will make sure you look natural and beautiful. He really understands how to bring out your best.
