Skin Cancer Reconstruction
The origins of plastic surgery are actually rooted in the efforts to improve disfigurement caused by injury, illness, or birth defects. Patients who acquire facial disfigurements as a result of skin cancer are a particular challenge due to the delicate balance of facial harmony that is disrupted. Modern plastic surgery techniques and state-of-the-art technology allow facial plastic surgeons to effectively treat these disfigurements, improving both function and appearance for our patients.
It is very important for patients who desire skin cancer facial reconstruction, to look for a board-certified facial plastic surgeon as opposed to a general plastic surgeon. This ensures that your surgeon has significant experience performing the extremely specialized and delicate procedure required with facial reconstructive surgery.
Though fundamentally different from cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery improves the mental well-being of patients and restores a sense of self-confidence. Helping patients regain self-esteem through restoring facial harmony is an incredibly rewarding aspect of our surgical practice.
