Christopher TolanDr

Double-board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Academy of Otolaryngology.

With over two decades of experience in Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Christopher Tolan knew that he wanted to start a different kind of facial plastic surgery clinic. One, which respected that the health and vitality of our appearance is multifaceted, and thus, deserved a multidimensional approach. A clinic that offered patients the empowerment of education and choice, and truly put their best interests at heart. As a result, Midwest Facial Plastic Surgery was born, and has quickly become one of the most respected and prominent surgical clinics in the Midwest.

Dr. Tolan’s medical background is homegrown. He graduated from the University of Minnesota Medical School and went on to complete his residency in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Minnesota Hospitals and Clinics. While in training, Dr. Tolan became interested in plastic surgery after observing children who had undergone repair of congenital facial deformities, such as cleft lip and palate. He felt passionate about making a difference in these children’s lives and anyone who suffers from this condition. As a result, he decided to dedicate his training in residency, fellowship, and clinical practice to reconstructive and cosmetic surgery of the face and neck. To this day, Dr. Tolan continues to perform hundreds of cleft lip and palate surgeries both locally and internationally. He also participates yearly in medical mission trips, providing surgical cleft care to those in need.
