Christian D. Jacob, MD, FACS

"Christian D. Jacob, M.D., FACS was born and raised in the New Orleans area. After graduating from Jesuit High School, he received his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees from Tulane University. Following a five year residency in the Tulane Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, he completed a coveted fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery under the tutelage of Dr. Calvin Johnson.

Dr. Jacob has been at Hedgewood since 2014. Not only did he complete the standard one-year fellowship with Dr. Johnson, but he also had the distinct opportunity of continuing to operate and see patients with Dr. Johnson for an additional two years. No physician has spent nearly as much time operating so closely with Dr. Johnson as Dr. Jacob. After this extended and truly unique training, Dr. Johnson, a world-renowned master in the field of rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation, recognized Dr. Jacob’s skill and bed-side manner and asked him to continue his practice at Hedgewood.

Dr. Jacob is double board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and by the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. Additionally, he has achieved the status of Fellow of both the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and the American College of Surgeons. He has given multiple talks about rhinoplasty and neck rejuvenation to his peers at renowned national and international conferences."

"Our goal at Hedgewood Plastic Surgery is to offer the same exceptional care as we have in the past while maintaining the ever-important preventative measures. We have instituted multiple protocols to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. Unfortunately, you will not be allowed to relax in our elegant waiting area. Instead, we ask that you wait in your car in the convenient on-premises parking. We will call you when it is time to enter through the front or back door. We are spacing people appropriately so that there will be little to no waiting time. You will not need to use an elevator or come into contact with anyone except our staff who are always wearing appropriate PPE and following strict hand-washing routines. There is a station for you to grab a mask and sanitize immediately upon entering the facility. All of the furniture in patient rooms has been replaced with chairs that can be sanitized every time between patients. We ensure you will feel safe and welcome here at Hedgewood Plastic Surgery. If you prefer, please call and we can arrange a virtual visit through multiple modalities."
