Biography
Dr Joe Dusseldorp is a collaborative surgeon who works alongside oncologists to perform innovative treatments for breast reconstruction (including the DIEP flap) and skin cancer reconstruction, especially complex facial skins cancers. He specialises in ear reconstruction of all types, and also treats a range of nerve conditions including facial palsy, diabetic feet and peripheral nerve disorders.
Dr Dusseldorp offers his patients options that are not just up-to-date, but are at the leading edge of surgical practice. He has published a number of papers on the integration of biotechnology advances to improve reconstructive surgical outcomes, particularly the use of pre-op arterial mapping to ensure complete healthy survival of reconstructed breast tissue in breast reconstruction.Joe has undertaken two years of international fellowship training. At Mass Eye and Ear, Mass General Hospital, and Harvard University, Boston, USA he focused on medical and surgical aspects of treating patients with facial nerve disorders, skin cancers and facial deformities including congenital and post-traumatic conditions.
