“Cosmetic surgery should make patients look refreshed and rejuvenated and not as if they have had surgery.” ~Dr. Arthur

Dr. Arthur Desrosiers, or “Dr. Arthur” as the team calls him, is the founder of Marquis Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Arthur graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City, NY, and completed his residency in General Surgery at the UMDNJ program, with clinical training at Princeton University Medical Center, in Princeton, NJ, and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, in New Brunswick, NJ. Dr. Arthur’s decision to pursue a career in plastic surgery was a natural evolution given that as a young adult he was an aspiring artist with inherent talent in sculpture, painting, and photography.

Dr. Arthur completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency / fellowship at the University of Miami / Jackson Memorial Hospital and subsequently received craniofacial fellowship training from Dr. S. Anthony Wolfe, arguably the world’s foremost expert in craniofacial surgery.

Dr. Arthur has published many scholarly articles on plastic surgery techniques, such as an innovative cosmetic labiaplasty technique. As a professional, Dr. Arthur continuously strives to bring cutting-edge, scientifically-validated technology to his patients, while never forgetting the human side of the art of medicine. The doctor’s attention to detail and humble demeanor set our patients at ease.

Dr. Arthur and the staff at Marquis are accessible, available, and dedicated to providing patients a safe and caring environment. Your questions and concerns are our priority.

In his time off, Dr. Arthur likes to spend time with his family, traveling, and perfecting his photography skills. Additionally, Dr. Arthur finds great reward in participating on medical mission trips, performing free surgeries for children in Haiti, India, Thailand, and Peru, among others. Since 2007, he has volunteered with Operation Smile, performing free cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries. More recently, he volunteered in Ecuador with the James Correa Foundation and operated on patients who needed complex craniofacial and reconstructive plastic surgery.

2012	DOI PMID Yash J Avashia, Arthur E Desrosiers, Jaime I Flores (2012) A second superior gluteal artery perforator flap with previous liposuction to the same breast after resection of initial SGAP breast reconstruction due to cancer recurrence. Microsurgery 32: 6. 482-484 Sep Abstract: Free superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) flaps are a reliable option for breast reconstruction in patients with insufficient abdominal tissue or abdominal scarring. Liposuction in a donor site is a relative contraindication for harvesting a free flap, despite current case reports challenging this tenet. We describe a case of a 36-year-old woman who underwent unilateral breast reconstruction with free SGAP flap. She underwent liposuction of the contralateral buttock for symmetry. Approximately, one year post-operatively, she developed local recurrence of the breast cancer. Previously liposculpted buttock was used as donor site for a second free SGAP flap anastomosed to internal mammary artery. Notes:

J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg 65: 2. 267-270 Feb Abstract: Dermal fat grafts have been utilized in plastic surgery for both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes of the face, breast, and body. There are multiple reports in the literature on the male phallus augmentation with the use of dermal fat grafts. Few reports describe female genitalia aesthetic surgery, in particular rejuvenation of the labia majora. In this report we describe an indication and use of autologous dermal fat graft for labia majora augmentation in a patient with loss of tone and volume in the labia majora. We found that this procedure is an option for labia majora augmentation and provides a stable result in volume-restoration. Notes:
2011	DOI PMID Arthur E Desrosiers, Seth R Thaller (2011) Pediatric nasal fractures: evaluation and management. J Craniofac Surg 22: 4. 1327-1329 Jul Abstract: Nasal fractures have been reported as 1 of the 3 most commonly encountered pediatric facial bone fractures. The most common causes of nasal fractures in this age group are auto accidents (40%), sports injuries (25%), intended injuries (15%), and home injuries (10%). Nasal fractures are usually treated with closed reduction (Higuera S, Lee EI, Stal S. Nasal trauma and the deviated nose. Plast Reconstr Surg 2007;120:64S-75S). This results in a significant incidence of posttraumatic deformities, often requiring secondary surgical treatment. For this reason, it is paramount to pay careful attention to the underlying structural nasal anatomy during the initial diagnosis and management. Notes:

Ann Plast Surg 62: 6. 640-644 Jun Abstract: With a microform (forme fruste) cleft lip, obtaining an optimal functional and esthetic result is a challenge to a reconstructive surgeon. We describe modifications to existing techniques by Mulliken, Furlow, and Cutting that provides an optimal functional result with correction of the cleft furrow, vermillion notch, and cleft nose deformity.

Plast Reconstr Surg 124: 5. 1590-1598 Nov Abstract: The Kapetansky flap was described to repair a whistle deformity or central vermilion defect following a primary bilateral cleft lip repair. The authors studied a modification of this technique, called the Whistle (wide-hinged island swing transposition labial enhancement) flap, to correct a wide array of secondary cleft lip deformities.

	PMID Jeffrey A Ascherman, Arthur E Desrosiers, Martin I Newman (2004) Management of sternal wounds with pectoralis major musculocutaneous advancement flaps in patients with a history of chest wall irradiation. Ann Plast Surg 52: 5. 480-4; discussion 485 May Abstract: Although debridement and pectoralis major musculocutaneous advancement flap closure has proved to be an effective treatment of sternal wounds in the general population, the purpose of this study was to examine the use of these flaps in patients with previously irradiated chest walls. The authors examined 5 patients with a history of breast cancer and chest wall radiation therapy who developed poststernotomy wound complications that were treated with debridement and pectoralis major musculocutaneous advancement flaps. The average patient age was 76 years. Three patients had previously undergone a radical mastectomy and had only 1 pectoralis major muscle remaining. There were no intraoperative deaths. One patient died during the 30-day postoperative period. There were no hematomas, seromas, or dehiscences. One woman developed a postoperative wound infection. Functional and aesthetic results were excellent. This study demonstrates that early, aggressive sternal debridement and closure with pectoralis major musculocutaneous advancement flaps is effective in patients with a history of chest wall irradiation, including those who have had 1 pectoralis major muscle previously resected.
