Get to know Plastic Surgeon Dr. Gregory T. Mesna, who serves patients in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Mesna, is the Founder of Mesna Plastic Surgery in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A firm believer that every patient deserves personalized care in order to look and feel their best, he offers a broad range of surgical options, minimally invasive treatments, and nonsurgical treatments for cosmetic enhancement of the face, body, breasts, and skin. He shares an uncompromising commitment to his patients’ goals, the care that they receive, and the services that he offers. 

Committed to providing outstanding service and high-quality results, his patients have only wonderful things to say about him, one stating “Dr. Mesna listened to what I wanted and was able to give me the results I had only dreamed were possible. He was always willing to answer questions and explain the process. I want to share my experience so others will be able to have the great results I have had! He was different from the other plastic surgeons I met with and made me feel confident that the whole process would be worth it.”

Having lived in the Minneapolis area his entire life, Dr. Mesna earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry from St. Olaf College in Northfield. He then went on to study dentistry and medicine at the University of Minnesota, earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1985, followed by his medical degree in 1989. He continued his internship and residency in general surgery and then narrowed his focus by participating in a plastic surgery residency and fellowship program from 1993 to 1996. After he became a fully-qualified plastic surgeon, he opened his Minneapolis-area practice in 1996.

Attributing his success to providing a personal approach in approving one’s image, the doctor is board-certified in plastic surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). The mission of the ABPS is to promote safe, ethical, efficacious plastic surgery to the public by maintaining high standards for the education, examination, certification, and continuous certification of plastic surgeons as specialists and subspecialists. 

With a dedication to patient safety and satisfaction, Dr. Mesna maintains memberships in multiple state and national organizations, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Minnesota Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the American College of Surgeons (Fellow). He has also been recognized by a number of different state and national organizations.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. 

When he is not at work, Dr. Mesna enjoys playing golf and tennis, as well as coaching his children in various sports. His favorite professional publication is the American Society of Plastic Surgeons Journal.
