Dr. Steven R. Jacobson’s skills as a plastic surgeon became quite apparent while training at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. A lifelong Minnesota native, Dr. Jacobson earned his medical degree at the University of Minnesota before taking a surgical residency position at Mayo. Even among the best of the best he was an outlier, winning a prestigious Foundation Scholar fellowship to train in Australia under Dr. Bryan Mendelson, the world’s leading authority on facial anatomy.
That’s where Dr. Jacobson mastered minimally invasive facelifts, and the experience inspired him to develop his own natural skills in facial rejuvenation, aesthetic, and reconstructive breast and body surgery. Soon after, Dr. Jacobson accepted a staff position at Mayo where he taught and practiced as a plastic surgeon until 2016. During that time, he has become internationally known for his technique and results.
What really sets Dr. Jacobson apart is his patient-centered approach. His patients truly appreciate how he takes the time to listen to their concerns and understand their needs. During his tenure at Mayo, Dr. Jacobson was the only plastic surgeon to win the Karis Award recognizing exemplary patient care.
His patient-centered method has also pushed him to develop innovative techniques using progressive technology to significantly reduce complications and speed recovery time. Dr. Jacobson’s simplified approach to plastic surgery is to achieve the best result with the fewest possible side effects.
