He is board certified in both Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. Dr. Ducic has published a large number of articles in the fields of cosmetic surgery including rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, face lift, lip augmentation, laser resurfacing, and ear reshaping surgery; reconstructive surgery, including a number of different flaps to assist in restoring the face and neck; and maxillofacial trauma and skull base surgery, including various approaches to access lesions of the skull as well as a number of techniques to optimize appearance post operatively.
