  • Dr. Jake Thayer prioritizes ensuring all his patients look natural.

  • Dr. Jake Thayer almost always uses a drainless approach, which reduces postoperative pain and discomfort with compression.

Technology

Safety

  • Dr. Jake Thayer cautions people against medical tourism for procedures and treatments, particularly regarding the recovery standpoint and potential issues.

About

Dr. Jake Thayer, MD, is a Board Eligible Plastic Surgeon practicing in Mequon, Middleton, and Sheboygan, Wisconsin. He specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, focusing on aesthetic procedures of the breast, body, and face. Dr. Thayer's core philosophy is to achieve natural-looking results, helping patients appear refreshed and enhanced, not transformed. He aims for patients to look like the best version of themselves by enhancing natural features and preserving anatomy. He emphasizes a comprehensive approach to body contouring, considering the breasts, torso, and lower body together for a balanced shape.
