Skin Cancer Treatment
For patients battling or overcoming skin cancer, things like appearance, self-image and confidence can be deeply affected by the course of this disease. Cells of the body can be injured by the cancer itself, weakened by radiation treatments, or damaged during surgical cancer removal. In the uphill battle to beat the disease, skin cancer reconstruction offers cancer patients a way to restore dignity and improve appearance.
Especially in sunny climates like Newport Beach, skin cancer is highly prevalent. Invasive skin cancer can mean anything from minor scars to disfigurement following the removal of diseased cells.
By seeking an experienced reconstructive plastic surgeon, you may be able to restore the healthy, normal skin appearance that was lost during skin cancer treatment. Skin cancer reconstruction is most commonly performed after Moh’s surgery of the neck and facial areas, but can be used on almost any area of the body. Advanced reconstruction techniques such as skin grafting and facial flaps may be recommended to return skin altered by cancer removal to a normal appearance. Refining treatments like dermabrasion, scar revision and laser skin smoothing can be used to further repair the damage and enhance results.
If you are facing skin cancer surgery, visit with a skilled skin cancer reconstruction doctor to discuss your options. For more information on skin cancer reconstruction, please contact Newport Beach skin cancer reconstruction surgeon Dr. Nirav Savalia at Finesse Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery.
