Dr. Richard L. Kofkoff and his team would like to welcome you to our St. Louis, Missouri cosmetic surgery practice. Our practice is unique in its focus which sets us apart from other practices. Here, we focus exclusively on cosmetic surgery that relates to the breasts and body. We believe that concentrating on specific areas of the body has allowed us to improve our surgical techniques and the results we are able to achieve for our patients.

The essence of our philosophy is that we will always do what we believe to be in the patient’s best interest. We hope that this commitment will foster your trust and be reassuring to you as you proceed through the process of your consultation and surgery.

We do not believe in placing any pressure on the patient concerning procedures and scheduling. We work hard to ensure that you fully understand all of the pros and cons of your chosen procedure, and we will not go ahead with scheduling your procedure until you feel comfortable. The more informed you are, the better prepared and comfortable you will be. This enables you to become a partner with Dr. Kofkoff in the success of your chosen procedure.

Office

Welcome to our Practice - We are devoted to enhancing the well-being of our patients through surgical expertise and exceptional care. We offer a full range of cosmetic surgery procedures with a special focus on contouring of the breast and body.

Dr. Kofkoff utilizes his "Rapid Recovery" approach to breast augmentation. This results in a significant reduction in postoperative discomfort and speeds a patient's return to work and activities. By taking a comprehensive approach that includes preoperative medications, a meticulous operative technique and a less restrictive postoperative regimen, patients can experience a very rapid recovery and begin to enjoy the benefits of their procedure sooner than ever.

Testi "Dear Dr. Kofkoff and Staff,

Your care, kindness, and concern just blows me away! I've "never" had a doctor send me flowers - they are beautiful!! Giving a patient the medical services they need can be done by all doctors, but to go beyond that and provide the care & human touch is a gift that a majority of doctors lack. Very few have a good "bedside manner" and a sense of humor. You, Dr. Kofkoff, have "all" the qualities that raises you above the average doctor. You are a rare jewel. Plus your staff possesses the rare gift of giving of themselves. Just keep doing what you're doing. The little extras "do" make a difference"

Testi "Dr. Kofkoff & Staff,

I cannot begin to thank you enough for the beautiful job that you have done. Everyday I am thankful that I chose you to do this procedure. I never thought that I would actuaLly go through with a breast augmentation, but after meeting you & your staff at orientation, I knew I could.

Everyone was extremely hospitable & caring that I literally could not have been more comfortable during the entire process. You would not believe the amount of girls that demand for your name after seeing what you have given me. One girl actually went to "4" different consultations & after seeing mine immediately decided to go to you!

I am grateful for the PERFECT job that you have done. I could not imagine them looking any better. I am so glad that I went to you! Thank you so much!"

Testi "Dr. Kofkoff,

Surgical result– Wonderful!

Your office personnel was very informative and if they did not have an answer, they took time to find out what I needed to know. Theresa even took time to call me on her day to help me with some concerns I had after a confusing consultation with another surgery office.

Everyone was sincere with concern for my needs and did not pressure me to make any decisions I was not ready to make. You have a no stress/pressure atmosphere."
