Michael Romanelli, MD, provides care with the Springfield Clinic's Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Department and sees patients at Springfield Clinic Peoria Heights.

Dr. Romanelli earned his medical degree and completed his plastic surgery residency at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield. He completed an aesthetic plastic surgery fellowship at Core Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama.

For Dr. Romanelli, plastic surgery is about creating a personalized experience for every patient. "I love hearing each person's unique story, their motivations and work together to achieve their goals,” he says. Dr. Romanelli's passion for the patient-physician relationship stems from the experiences he had growing up admiring his father, an orthopedic surgeon in the Springfield area. "Growing up, I loved hearing my father's passion as he shared about the improvement in quality of life he was able to offer his patients," he says.

In practice, Dr. Romanelli is focused on approaching treatment plans collaboratively with patients, while providing honest guidance and clear education. Dr. Romanelli’s scope of practice includes all aspects of aesthetic surgery including facial rejuvenation, breast and body contouring as well as breast reconstruction.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Romanelli is a dedicated husband and father of three. He enjoys spending time with his family, watching his oldest son play baseball, his daughter perform ballet and experience his youngest’s firsts. He also enjoys golfing and spending time on the water.
