What is Skin Cancer Removal and Reconstruction?
Skin cancer removal refers to the removal of cancerous tissue and sometimes surrounding tissue to treat and stop the growth and possible spread of cancer. Removing cancerous tissue is important for your health and wellness, but it can leave unsightly scars. This is precisely why you should consider having a plastic surgeon remove your skin cancer. Plastic surgeons are uniquely interested in minimizing your scars and making your result as inconspicuous as possible. Skin cancer and suspicious lesion removal can be accomplished using local anesthesia in the office.
