Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
Get smoother skin after a chronic wound, treat common hand ailments, or have lumps and bumps removed.
Hand Plastic Surgery
Common hand ailments, such as carpal tunnel syndrom and trigger fingers, are quite common, especially in workers who use their hands or wrists frequently. Dr. Marshall has performed hundreds of carpal tunnel releases, trigger finger surgeries, and a variety of other hand procedures. These reconstructive plastic surgeries are usually covered by insurances and are performed as "same day" surgery.
Chronic Wound Treatment
Chronic wounds can be caused by pressure and are common for patients who are affected by paraplegia or quadraplegia. These wounds are often difficult to treat, but Dr. Marshall has performed hundreds of flap procedures that clean these wounds and close them permanently.
Another common location for chronic wounds is on the lower legs, and these wounds are often the result of poor arteries or veins. Dr. Marshall has treated thousands of these wounds and has an expert eye in diagnosing them. He will often ask a vascular doctor to assist him in fixing the actual problem before Dr. Marshall closes the wound with a skin graft or a flap.
Skin Mass (lumps and bumps) Removal
Sebaceous cysts and lipomas, which are both benign skin masses, are quite common all over the body, and some can have a genetic component to them. Dr. Marshall can usually remove these in his Biltmore Park office under local anesthetic. If they are located in a cosmetically sensitive area, Dr. Marshall can offer postoperative laser scar treatments in addition to the growth factor/stem cell serum to apply directly to the scar.
Skin Cancer Biopsy, Removal, and Expert Closures
If you have an abnormal looking mole or a skin cancer diagnosis, Dr. Marshall can biopsy or remove the suspicious lesion. After removing it, Dr. Marshall will use an advanced two layered closure, postoperative laser treatments, and a scar stem cell/growth factor serum to minimize your scars.

Testimonials
Two years ago I had skin cancer surgery on my upper lip. The surgery damage was extensive and the reconstruction was completed by rolling the inside of the lip up over the damage. Healing was slow as expected. The scar tissue in the middle of my upper lip never fully healed. I was referred to Dr. Marshall two months ago. He prescribed a regime of treatment that has lessened the ongoing pain in my lip for the first time in the last year... Read full Google review

Dr. Marshall was great to keep the expectations of the results of my reconstruction very real for me. I appreciate that what he said he could do he did, and what was not possible because of radiation, I was told about and I am satisfied. I really like how easy he is to talk to. I can tell he cares and took the time to do the best job he could for me... Read full Google review
