Bringing You New Beauty Solutions
SOMA’s story is as diverse, beautiful, and multi-faceted as its patients. We’ve journeyed all across Iowa, helping patients look and feel absolutely stunning. Under the leadership of Dr. Condoleon, we expanded our SOMA location in Algona to reach patients interested in cosmetic surgery in Des Moines. Our latest location gives patients access to cosmetic surgeries like mommy makeovers, breast lifts, and liposuction.
There’s No Place
Like Home
At SOMA Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetics, our story started in Des Moines, Iowa, a place we’ve always called home. Kristin, and her father, Dr. Condoleon, who once worked at Mercy Hospital, share a long-standing connection with the city. Dr. Condoleon spent a brief time in Las Vegas, yet the call of home was irresistible, leading us back to Iowa.
The recession redirected us to Algona, near a serene lake town where Kristin’s grandparents resided. We operated the non-surgical aesthetics side of our business there, and Dr. Condoleon traveled to neighboring Perry and Britt to perform surgery. However, we never forgot about our community in Des Moines, knowing we’d come back to the place where it all began, eventually.
Today, we operate out of Des Moines and Algona. We’re ready to serve both the Algona and Des Moines communities that have shaped so much of our story.

Beloved by Patients
We carry top-of-the-line skincare products to help our patients step up their beauty.
Cosmetic Surgery, Near and Far
While we were based in Algona, Dr. Condoleon would travel to the neighboring towns of Britt and Perry to perform cosmetic surgery. Due to increased demand, and a need to house our services in a city known for adoring cosmetic surgical intervention, we added another location in Des Moines. Here, patients receive remarkably transformative treatments such as tummy tucks, liposuction, breast lifts, and more.
Events Bring our Community Together
At SOMA, we love bringing patients and providers together to make lasting and meaningful memories. Honestly, it’s one of the favorite parts of our job. Patients who step into our unique, boutique facilities become a part of our growing legacy. Events, like our yearly anniversary event in August, give us an opportunity to express our thanks to all the patients who have made our clinics a joy to nurture. Other events allow us to unwind, have fun, and educate others, like our popular “Girls’ Nights”. On these nights, you can access exclusive discounts on popular services, including cosmetic surgery in Des Moines.
We Honor Hard Work
We know how hard our patients work to reach their goals. Looking your best can take everything, and then some. The “SOMA Rewards Program” grants patients dedicated to their beauty a way to track their progress. For every $100 you spend, we will add a hole punch to your exclusive SOMA card. When you fill your card with punches, it is worth up to $100 in savings. It can be used by itself, or with other collected cards, to help pay for 50% of the cost of a future service. Also, keep on the lookout for revolving discounts each month on treatments patients know and cherish like HydraFacial, laser treatments, and Tirzeptatide.

We ensure the safety and efficacy of each procedure so our patients leave with smiles on their face, and pride in their newly enhanced bodies.
