Following his residency, Dr. Polacco completed a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). In addition to perfecting
surgical skills and the artistry of facial plastic surgery at UCSF, this environment allowed him to
perform multiple clinical trials on the latest neuromodulators and research methods to
optimize results with botulinum toxin treatments. 

In addition to his training and research, Dr. Polacco is committed to advancing care and giving back to the community.  Dr. Polacco and a colleague collaborated to launch a non-profit organization, the American Melanoma Institute, dedicated to education, research, and support for those diagnosed with melanoma as well as their loved ones.
