Meet Dr. Fred Duffy

Fred Duffy, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a board-certified plastic surgeon with nearly three decades of experience in private practice in Dallas, Texas. He was the first physician in North Texas to perform the DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap procedure and while he continues to help his partners on these long procedures, he has shifted his focus to other methods of breast reconstruction as well as aesthetic surgery of the breast, body, and face.

Dr. Duffy is deeply committed to caring for women who have had disappointing or unsuccessful breast reconstruction results elsewhere, helping them regain comfort and confidence through advanced reconstructive techniques. In addition, he regularly performs a high volume of immediate breast reconstruction procedures following mastectomy.

In addition to breast reconstruction, Dr. Duffy’s practice encompasses a wide range of complex reconstructive procedures for patients of all ages. His work includes innovative approaches to repairing myelomeningocele (spina bifida) defects in newborns, which have been featured in published medical research. He also has a career long commitment to Global Health and helped start Haiti’s first Plastic Surgery Training Program nearly fifteen years ago.

Dr. Duffy’s approach to patient care is shaped by personal experience. After managing ulcerative colitis during his teenage years, he developed a deep sense of empathy that informs every aspect of his work and allows him to connect meaningfully with patients.

He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and remains actively involved in numerous regional and national professional organizations, staying at the forefront of surgical advancements and contributing to the broader medical community. He has recently presented his direct to implant breast reconstruction work at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in New Orleans, will be giving two talks at the Barcelona Breast Meeting this March, and has a paper presentation on Durasorb mesh at the Global Plastic Surgery Conference in Buenos Airies in May.
