Welcome

Dr. Kolb, an experienced military surgeon who is board-certified in plastic surgery, is now providing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Richmond, Indiana. Dr. Kolb has over 25 years' military experience and many years in practicing plastic surgery for the U.S. Armed Forces, including an assignment as Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. To learn more about Dr. Kolb’s credentials, visit our Meet Dr. Kolb page. Modern plastic surgery was born in military hospitals, and many common surgical procedures used today were invented to save, heal and restore the appearance of soldiers injured in war. Dr. Kolb brings that knowledge and experience to the residents of eastern Indiana and western Ohio with his plastic surgery practice based at Reid Hospital & Health Care Services in Richmond.

Dr. Kolb's website is here to inform and educate area men and women about the options available in modern plastic surgery, whether they are looking for an elective procedure to enhance their appearance, or a reconstructive procedure to repair damage or a problem present from birth.

Dr. Kolb specializes in breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery. He also performs eyelid surgery, birth mark removal, body contouring, face lifts and other facial surgery, laser hair removal, breast implant revision, and rhinoplasty, among others. To view a complete list, see the Procedures page. Dr. Kolb also provides “spa services” such as Botox, chemical peels and removal of unwanted hair. Although these items can often be obtained through practitioners with lesser training, Dr. Kolb's office is the best place to receive such treatments. Dr. Kolb is board-certified and has the experience to keep you safe and ensure optimal results for you.

Please call for an initial consultation to discuss your goals and review your options with Dr. Kolb. Our friendly staff is waiting to help you at (765)962-4872.
