Bruce S. Bauer, MD, FACS, FAAP, is a highly regarded surgeon who treats a full spectrum of pediatric plastic surgeries, including cleft lip and palate, craniofacial deformities, congenital and acquired ear deformities, and birthmark reconstruction. Dr. Bauer is also an expert in using pediatric tissue expansions (a technique that creates new skin to repair or replace skin elsewhere in the body) to treat large and giant melanocytic nevi and other congenital and acquired deformities.

Dr. Bauer’s long-time dedication to pediatric plastic surgery and his commitment to high-quality care propelled him to develop specialized reconstructive techniques for complex conditions that have led to referrals from patients nationally and internationally. Examples include designing expanded skin flaps that allow the treatment of larger nevi, in fewer surgeries, with improved functional and aesthetic outcomes, and advanced the understanding and approach to reconstruction of complex congenital and acquired ear deformities. Further, by teaming with pediatric dermatologists, he was able to widen the application of these techniques to problematic skin lesions and led to the adoption of pediatric tissue expansion around the world.
