Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. 

In his retirement, Dr. Marshall enjoys playing squash and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He currently serves on the Board of the Intrepid and conducts public speaking engagements internationally.
