Dr. Wegener also treats many conditions of the face non-surgically with the use of Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and various laser treatments. He works in close concert with the aestheticians in the Face and Body Spa, as skin care treatment for lifelong health is a major component of his expertise.

This list includes carpal tunnel syndrome; trigger finger; hand, wrist, and finger fractures; changes due to rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, tendon, and nerve injuries; Dupuytren’s contracture; and a myriad of wrist conditions. If you have pain or difficulties with your arm and hand, Dr. Wegener can help, as he has become the referral of choice throughout Mississippi for acute and chronic conditions of the hand and wrist.

Born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Dr. Wegener is one of six children, two of whom are physicians.

After MSU he attended the University Medical Center in Jackson. During his plastic surgery rotations, Dr. Wegener solidified his love for plastic surgery and became fascinated with hand and wrist surgery. He received his plastic surgery training in Akron, Ohio, and extended his training an additional year to receive a fellowship in hand and upper extremity surgery at UMC.

Dr. Wegener married Connie Johnson from Meridian, Mississippi. She is one of four children and has a degree in pharmacy from the University of Mississippi.

He also is an Aviation Medical Examiner for the Federal Aviation Administration and performs flight physicals for pilots.
