Understanding Skin Cancer Reconstruction
Skin cancer is diagnosed by removing all or part of the growth and examining its cells under a microscope. It can be treated by a number of methods, depending on the type of cancer, its stage of growth, and its location on the body. Most skin cancers are treated surgically. If the cancer is small, the procedure can be done quickly and easily by a simple excision, which usually leaves a thin, barely visible scar. If the cancer is large, however, or if it has spread to the lymph glands or elsewhere in the body, major surgery may be required.
The different techniques used in treating skin cancers can be life-saving, but they may leave a patient with less than pleasing cosmetic or functional results. Depending on the location and severity of cancer, the consequences may range from a small but unsightly scar to permanent changes in facial structures such as the nose, ear, or lip. In such cases, regardless of who performed the initial treatment, Dr. Ceydeli and Dr. Duong are able to offer multiple reconstructive techniques – ranging from simple scar revision to complex transfer of tissue flaps from elsewhere on the body – to repair damaged tissue, rebuild body parts, and restore most patients to acceptable appearance and function.
