Ravi Garg, MD, is a plastic surgeon specializing in cranio/maxillofacial and head and neck microvascular surgery. He performs vascularized tissue transplants to the jaw bones, oral cavity, pharynx, skull base, neck and scalp to reconstruct wounds resulting from cancer, trauma and congenital deformities.
He also performs orthognathic jaw surgery (corrective jaw surgery) for treatment of malocclusions and obstructive sleep apnea, treats tumors of the jaw bones, reconstructs skin cancer defects, performs functional rhinoplasty, and repairs cleft lip and palate including secondary deformities in adult patients.
He has a particular interest in complex microvascular head and neck reconstruction, including jaw in a day surgery which he previously pioneered at the University of Kansas, and the application of orthognathic jaw surgery to patients with restricted airways and sleep disordered breathing.
Dr. Garg’s practice philosophy is to communicate clearly and effectively with patients to help them develop clarity about the benefits and risks of a potential treatment pathway.

He has innovated in the arena of sleep apnea surgery with research and publications on novel approaches to genioglossus advancement and transoral surgical adjuncts to augment the nasal airway during midface advancement surgery. Additional research and areas of innovation relate to minimally invasive, transoral mandibulectomy and microvascular reconstruction.
