Procedures
Dr. Sauerhammer is a board-certified plastic surgeon with nearly ten years of experience performing rejuvenating and reconstructive procedures and a reputation for her meticulous technique, warm bedside manner, and commitment to achieving natural-looking, elegant results. She is one of the only female plastic surgeons in Appleton and Green Bay and the only doctor fellowship-trained in craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery in Northeast Wisconsin.
Dr. Sauerhammer’s dedication to safety and innovation is reflected in every aspect of the practice, including our onsite AAAHC-certified surgical suite and the welcoming environment she helped create. While Dr. Sauerhammer leads the surgical care, she is surrounded by a team of highly-trained providers who share her values, ensuring every patient receives attentive, elevated, beautifully crafted results.
A mother of three, accomplished cellist and pianist, former Miss Wisconsin, and a remarkable academic who began college at just fourteen, Dr. Tina Sauerhammer brings a rare blend of compassion, discipline, aesthetic insight, and artistry to her work.
The Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery was created with one goal in mind: to give patients a space that feels calm, refined, and thoughtfully designed at every step of their experience. Our state-of-the-art Appleton facility is AAAHC-certified, reflecting our commitment to the highest standards of safety, privacy, and surgical excellence.
From the moment you enter, the environment feels warm and inviting. The clinic side of the practice is dedicated to consultations, dermatology visits, and non-surgical treatments, while a private surgical suite sits quietly on the other side of the building. This includes pre-operative and post-operative rooms crafted to ensure comfort, discretion, and a smooth, seamless experience for every patient.
Elegant décor, soft lighting, and a thoughtful layout make the space feel more like a boutique center than a medical facility. As many of our patients say, “You feel the beauty in the building.” Our facility serves as a reflection of the care and artistry that guide our work.
Every detail exists for one purpose: to help you feel relaxed, supported, and confident as we navigate your aesthetic journey together.
Providers
At the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, every procedure begins with careful listening, thoughtful planning, and a commitment to balanced results. These are our most requested surgical treatments, each designed to help you feel confident, comfortable, and beautifully yourself.
Breast augmentation can improve symmetry and add fullness and youthfulness to your breasts, creating soft, natural contours that complement your shape. Dr. Sauerhammer prioritizes natural-looking and graceful outcomes, and by reversing the effects of aging and pregnancy, you’ll be able to wear the clothes you want, enjoy the way you look in a swimsuit, and feel great about your appearance again.
A breast lift rejuvenates the breasts by lifting and reshaping tissue for a more youthful, naturally elevated appearance. This procedure is ideal for women experiencing sagging or volume deflation due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes. Dr. Sauerhammer uses refined techniques to create beautiful contours while preserving your natural shape, resulting in a refreshed, uplifted silhouette that enhances both confidence and comfort. Many patients choose to combine a lift with augmentation for personalized results tailored to their vision.
After pregnancy or weight loss, exercise alone may not eliminate excess skin around your midsection. If you’ve been avoiding form-fitting clothing and two-piece swimsuits, a tummy tuck can give you a flat and firm figure in a single procedure. A tummy tuck restores strength and contour to the core by meticulously tightening the midsection, removing excess skin, and repairing stretched abdominal muscles. Dr. Sauerhammer places incisions below the bikini line so that signs of plastic surgery are well hidden.
A Mommy Makeover combines personalized procedures, typically including breast surgery, a tummy tuck, and liposuction, to restore confidence after pregnancy and childbirth. No two plans are the same; Dr. Sauerhammer listens closely to the concerns that matter most to you and designs a thoughtful, customized approach. The goal is to gently rejuvenate your body while honoring your natural proportions. With compassionate guidance and an emphasis on safety, the Mommy Makeover helps you feel more like yourself again, refreshed, confident, and comfortable in your own skin.
Look years younger by significantly reducing signs of aging in your mid-to-lower face. Some common features that plastic surgery addresses are skin laxity, jowling, a double chin, and hollow areas. Dr. Sauerhammer’s technique focuses on restoring underlying structure rather than simply tightening the skin, creating results that look refreshed and authentic. Appleton and Green Bay patients choose Dr. Sauerhammer for their facelift because of her specialization in craniofacial procedures, artistic eye, and emphasis on natural-looking results.
With liposuction, Dr. Sauerhammer can remove unwanted fat from around the neck, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, and back, creating a slimmer and aesthetically contoured appearance. Signs of surgery are minimal, and many patients are able to return to work after a weekend recovery. Dr. Sauerhammer can also use this fat to fill in hollows and add fullness to areas of need. Dr. Sauerhammer uses gentle, precise techniques to create smooth transitions and balanced shaping that enhances your silhouette without looking surgically altered.
Overly large breasts can lead to neck and back pain, cause chronic rashes, and get in the way of exercise and other activities. Women may also experience asymmetry between their breasts. Reduction surgery can resolve these problems, decreasing the size of the breasts to fit a patient’s frame more comfortably. Dr. Sauerhammer employs a variety of techniques to ensure each patient achieves expertly tailored and impeccably sculpted results that foster everyday comfort and confidence for years to come.
Dermatology
Our dermatology services are designed to support the health, comfort, and long-term well-being of your skin. Whether you’re seeking routine care or specialized treatment, our providers offer thoughtful guidance and medical expertise across a wide range of conditions, including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and acne scarring. We also perform comprehensive skin cancer screenings and mole evaluations, ensuring early detection and peace of mind.
With a gentle, patient-centered approach, each visit is tailored to your concerns and your skin’s unique needs. From targeted therapies to ongoing management, our dermatology team delivers care that is thorough, compassionate, and grounded in the highest clinical standards—helping you achieve clearer, healthier skin at every stage of life.
We all have hopes of maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin for as long as possible. Sooner or later, this will likely require the experience of a skin specialist, such as a dermatology physician assistant, whose role is to help you address any problems or concerns related to your skin, nails, and hair. Megan MacCarthy, PA-C, and Colleen Van Egeren, PA-C, of the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery offer dermatology services to patients in Appleton and Green Bay.
Acne is an incredibly common skin condition, impacting between 40 million and 50 million individuals in the United States alone. Just because the condition is common does not make it easy to bear. In fact, acne can often lead to feelings of awkwardness or self-consciousness.
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the entire U.S. There are many varieties of skin cancer, and they range in terms of how dangerous they are. No matter which type of skin cancer you are dealing with, the best way to maximize your likelihood of complete remission is to ensure prompt detection and early intervention.
