Jeffrey R. Marcus, MD

Quotable:
Restoration of aesthetic form is an exciting part of medicine for me. I do my best to provide patients with an honest opinion and realistic expectations so they can make a sound, informed decision.

Dr. Jeffrey R. Marcus is actively researching the application of technology to the assessment and treatment of craniofacial developmental conditions, including craniosynostosis. With his work he aims to better understand and treat congenital deformities by refining analytic abilities and applying the most advanced technology to surgical procedures.

So far his research has led to greater knowledge of the structural changes that occur in conditions like craniosynostosis. This same research will soon result in the development of highly accurate neuroimaging techniques requiring minimal x-ray exposure.

Further studies he is involved in relate to the techniques used in surgery for the correction of cleft lip and palate. Dr. Marcus’ research coincides directly with his area of expertise which includes rhinoplasty; otoplasty; and facial rejuvenation covering facelifts, necklifts, browlifts, and eyelid surgery.

His devotion to his work comes from the enjoyment he experiences from “making meaningful changes to normalize children with developmental malformations that will impact them for their entire lives”.
