Specializations

Dr. Ducic specializes in all forms of reconstructive craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial trauma, and skull base surgery. With a focus on face, head, and neck surgery, Dr. Ducic has developed skills in harvesting grafts from other areas of the body to optimize the function and aesthetics of the face, neck, throat and skull.

He often performs complex reconstructive procedures for patients suffering from congenital birth defects (cleft lip, cleft palate, skin lesions, craniofacial abnormalities) and trauma (fractures of the upper face or mandible, scar revisions).
