Bryan N. RolfesDr

Dr. Rolfes, one of the plastic surgeons at Omni Cosmetic, grew up in St. Paul, MN and was the oldest of five children. He was always interested in science and engineering. Through their childhood, he and his siblings often spent their free time building many “projects” in the family garage. Despite the many missing tools and occasional need for some stitches, their parents always encouraged hands-on construction and experimentation. Every one of his siblings is now in some field of science or engineering.

During his studies at The Chicago Medical School, Dr. Rolfes searched for ways to combine his passions for medicine and engineering. He applied for and was selected to join the Medical Device Center’s Innovation Fellows program at the University of Minnesota. There he spent a year working with a team of engineers to develop solutions to unmet medical needs. After that, he did an intensive 5 year surgical residency in Head and Neck Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. At that point, he could have started to practice as a surgeon, but he wanted to further specialize his skills. He went on to a Facial Plastic Reconstructive Surgery fellowship at Boston University, the only training program in the country focused on facial feminization surgery.
