Biography
Dr. Ducic is board certified in both Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. He completed medical school, general surgery and head and neck surgery training in Canada and Facial Plastic Surgery at the University of Minnesota. He specializes in all aspects of Facial Plastic Surgery, both aesthetic (facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, chin/cheek implants, fillers, Botox, hair transplant, blepharoplasty and brow lift) and reconstructive (microvascular surgery, facial reanimation after paralysis, facial trauma, cleft lip/palate surgery, craniofacial surgery, skin cancer reconstruction, flap reconstruction). In addition, he treats a large volume of Head and Neck Cancer and Skull Base Surgery patients. He has authored over 120 articles in all aspects of head and neck cancer surgery and reconstruction, many of which have changed how physicians around the country manage some of these cancers, improving outcomes.
He is the director of the only AAFPRS (American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery) Fellowship in North Texas that provides subspecialty training in Facial Plastic Surgery. He is the director of the Baylor Neuroscience Center for Skullbase Surgery in Fort Worth and the director of the Center for Aesthetic Surgery in Colleyville, Texas.
He strives to provide each patient with an individualized surgical plan that will provide them with the best possible results in each case. He has four beautiful children with whom he enjoys spending his free time in addition to traveling and working out. He looks forward to providing you the best of care for all your head, neck and facial plastic surgery needs. He has always strived not only to continually improve the results of surgery but also to improve patient convenience. This is why he has a team of physician extenders that work closely with him to provide patient hours from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm Monday through Saturday.
