Jacqueline Wegge, MD

Dr. Jacqueline Wegge grew up in De Pere, Wisconsin, where she was avidly involved in music, art, theater, and dance, and was a member of the National Honor Society. During this time, she also served as the lead singer of the locally well-known classic rock band named “Hijinx.” She then went on to complete her undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she received her Bachelor of Science in Biology. She graduated with distinction along with a membership in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Beta Kappa, and the Golden Key International Honour Society. Subsequently, she fulfilled her medical training at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. She received her medical degree in 2008 and also the prestigious honor of being elected as an Alpha Omega Alpha member. Dr. Wegge then completed a full five-year general surgery residency at MSU-KCMS/Western Michigan University and has been board certified in general surgery since 2014. She then accomplished an additional plastic surgery residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. Finally, she fulfilled her ultimate goals with a craniofacial fellowship at the prestigious University of Texas Southwestern. Dr. Wegge became board-certified in plastic surgery in 2018.

Throughout her training, Dr. Jacqueline Wegge was fortunate to learn from many great mentors and experts at the forefront of trauma, cancer reconstruction, breast surgery and reconstruction, microsurgery, hand surgery, craniofacial surgery, and aesthetic surgery. During her plastic surgery residency in Houston, Texas, she was trained at Memorial Hermann hospital (one of the busiest trauma centers in the country), as well as MD Anderson (one of the foremost cancer centers in the world). As a result, she has a broad range of skills that makes her ideally equipped to treat a wide variety of patients with even the most difficult problems. “Being a skilled plastic surgeon not only requires the vast knowledge of a scholar but the steady hand and the precise eye of an artist. The diversity of plastic surgery spans the entire human body, with the challenge of devising a plan for repairing or modifying those deformities that others have been unable to conquer. Additionally, it affords the opportunity to plan, sculpt, and create with a complexity that requires the physician to be able to imagine not only the immediate result but also take into account the final product months and years down the road.” It is a great honor for Dr. Wegge to form a long-lasting relationship with her patients and guide them along their journey.
