Dr. Klenke is a member of the medical staff at both Beaufort Memorial and Hilton Head Hospitals, and also sees patients at Pinnacle Plastic Surgery’s main office in Sheridan Park in Bluffton. As Beaufort County’s only female plastic surgeon, Dr. Klenke offers a unique perspective, driven by modern perceptions of aesthetics.

“Cosmetic surgery is a natural part of a healthy lifestyle,” she said. “At Pinnacle Plastic Surgery, we want to make elective options easier to consider.”

Dr. Klenke graduated from the University of Cincinnati where she was chief resident in the Division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery. Among her research interests are facial and body contouring, and the use of less invasive surgical procedures to achieve aesthetic improvement.

“It’s all about finding the method that matches the patient in terms of expectations, recovery time and comfort level,” Dr. Klenke said. “In addition to our surgical options, there are many non-surgical options for those who aren’t ready for or don’t need surgery.”

Dr. Klenke’s practice also focuses on reconstructive surgery for breast and skin cancer, extensive weight loss and facial trauma. In addition, she is on call for emergency surgery at both Beaufort Memorial and Hilton Head Hospitals.
