William M. Jacobsen, MD

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. J. This is the first time I have had this procedure. I was very nervous, but Dr. J made me feel comfortable and took time answering all my questions. I was nervous about being not natural looking, but Dr. J made sure to do what I wanted and I am very happy with my results!

I've waited 6 months for the appendage on my face to "refine" its self, but it looks like this old blob is done shapeshifting. I can't help but feel disappointed. If not for my nose, but all of the wasted time and money.
I've always had a very larger/ wide-set nose and I've wanted a nose job since I was a kid. I dreamed about the day that I finally had a cute little nose.
In my consult, I had asked for a complete nose job with as much bulk to the dorsum/ dorsal bone taken off as possible (smaller the better).
What I got was a hump rasping, which left my nasal bones intact in their original place. Although one side was shaved down, there is still some boney tissue on the right side that escaped the rasp.
There is no shape of my dorsum, and it is very bumpy and uneven. I am trying not to complain or hate it because it is my face.
I'm some where stuck between a meh job and a botched one. On the bright side, I had no complications in my surgery and I healed fast and it doesn't look horrible. On the other side, it doesn't exactly look like something to brag about.
Now I am at a fork in the road with how to move on. I would love to get the sides brought in and the dorsal line was taken down, but I am left questioning if another great letdown is bound to happen again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I guess I should start investing in confidence courses because I might be trapped in nasal purgatory for a long time.

I had reconstruction surgery on my nose after the removing of cancer. This was my first experience with this type of surgery, so can not compare to any other times. I was pleased with my final results, maybe not as good as my original creator, but I can live with it. Thank you, Dr. Jacobsen, enjoyed meeting you and your staff.
Thanks for the card.

I came across Dr. Jacobsen online when I was looking for a doctor. I should have seen the little warning signs with this doctor but I was so excited about the procedure I didn't listen to my gut and it was a mistake. In my defense Dr. Jacobsen does a great job of making you believe he is sincere and honest. He had good reviews and I never thought there might be something off about them. I kick myself because I should have seen that Dr. Jacobsen paid to have negative reviews from his patients removed. I should have done more research, let that be a lesson to you.

There are a lot of things that didn't seem right to me at the time that I just ignored and shouldn't have. After speaking with other victims of this doctor I pieced together a lot more of the puzzle.

My whole experience was this doctor was extremely negative. I felt like my concerns were ignored and in eventually they just stopped responding to me. I have to have my breasts revised by another doctor now but I know I am lucky in comparison to others. I was certainly able to see patterns in his behavior and most of the women I spoke with ended up going to back to him for multiple surgeries.

Based on my experience with Dr. Jacobsen, I think he is a dishonest person who promises results he doesn't come close to delivering.

After 2 years of battling with my insurance for breast implant removal due to possible breast cancer, I was approved and had explant surgery in December 2022. The right breast had severe capsular contracture and was extremely hard and painful. There was a mass of fluid under the nipple and the actual implant had broken through the capsule. The surgeon removed the implants and everything was ok until I developed a seroma in my right breast after the drains were removed. He tried to aspirate the fluid but the seroma kept growing so I had to have surgery again. After the 2nd surgery, things went more smoothly but I noticed my breast was funny looking and hard. I shrugged it off as normal healing but did ask the surgeon when I had a check up. He told me to give it a few weeks and it should go away. As time went on, the right breast never got soft like my left and became painful. I had another appointment with the surgeon who told me that he had left some of the capsule inside me so I would be forced to come back to him to get a breast lift and implants. I told him that I just wanted the capsule removed. I don't want a lift nor do I want implants. He refused. Now I'm left looking like a monster and don't know what to do now

I had my original breast implants done in Phoenix with Dr. Angelchik. I was a 34b and after implants, I was supposed to be a full C but turned out to b a 34 DDD. I liked them but after 8 years they felt too heavy and I decided to explant.

I consulted with 2 plastic surgeons...a wonderful woman plastic surgeon and Dr. Jacobsen. They were both board-certified but she was around 5,000 more than him. He discussed that I would be very disappointed with an explant only and needed smaller implants and a donut lift. I ended up going with him...

They are shaped rather odd but at least I’m a 34 D instead of 34 ddd. I had 275 ccs to replace the 425s from previous augmentation. The scars are really bad and I’ll post some pics of the final boobs I’m left with after 1 year 12 months. :(

I guess my reasoning was that he deals with skin cancer patients so I thought he’d be really good with scars. I made a mistake.

It has been a very long and expensive learning experience. I only wish someone had posted a review like mine before I made the mistake of using him. I recently found Dr. Said Hakim in Seattle and he was able to take out the implants and work with the terrible, strange scars Dr. Jacobsen had left me with. He was a professor of Plastic surgery or 15 years and had never seen such a botched job as mine. Please find someone else more qualified in breast surgery.

I am a very modest woman and told him that I absolutely did not want big boobs. I wanted a full C, but came out of surgery more than a DD. I have been so unhappy every day since my breast augmentation. He told me that he could redo them for a discount, but then I would have to have a full lift now also. As a single mom on a teacher’s salary, I have not had the opportunity to save up more money to have them redone.
Just can’t wait until I can have the boobs that I can feel comfortable in my own skin.
