Mr Gallagher is interested in all aspects of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. His main clinical interests include the management of facial pain, including temporomandibular disorders. He also has extensive experience in the management of facial trauma and deformity, including reconstruction of facial hard and soft tissue defects resulting from trauma or developmental facial skeletal disproportion. Mr Gallagher also has extensive experience in the management of patients with skin lesions, including melanomas and non-melanoma skin cancers. He was a member of the local skin cancer multidisciplinary team (MDT) in Northamptonshire and is now a member of the skin cancer MDT in Worcestershire. Mr Gallagher has expertise in reconstructing skin cancer excision defects with local skin flaps and grafts. Although there is not yet “scar-free healing” Mr Gallagher does try to minimise the appearance of scars on the face using a variety of tried and tested surgical and non-surgical techniques. He is also happy to advise and, if possible, treat patients who may need scar revisions.
