Skin Cancer Gallery
Here we have a patient in her forties who came in with a slowly growing mass on her upper lip, just under her nose. We biopsied the lesion in the office which showed basal cell cancer. We removed the mass in the operating room so the she could receive sedation. A pathologist checked the mass to make sure that we had removed it all while we waited in the operating room. After all, you can do a beautiful reconstruction, but it doesn’t matter if you haven’t removed all of the cancer! We repaired the wound by rotating skin from the remainder of her upper lip. The scars are hidden in natural lines on her lip as well as her nasolabial fold. No revision procedures were performed.
This patient in her eighties presented with a several month history of a slowly growing lesion on her left cheek. We removed it in the office and had a pathologist check the margins prior to final closure. It ended up being a basosquamous skin cancer, a more aggressive kind of skin cancer that can still be easily cured with surgery. The area was closed by moving tissue from her cheek and placing the scar along the side of her nose and under her eye. Her postoperative photos were taken about three months following the procedure. No revision procedures were needed.
This patient in her sixties was referred to me for a lesion by her right eye that had been growing for several months. She had a history of several severe sun burns when she was younger.
This basal cell carcinoma was excised in the operating room because it was so close to her eye. After a pathologist checked to be sure the cancer was completely excised, I closed the defect by moving tissue from her nose and cheek.
Post-operative photos were taken three months after the surgery. She was thrilled to be cancer free without any noticeable scars.
This patient in her eighties presented with a scaly, red lesion on the right inner cheek. She had a history of skin cancers and other practitioners had attempted removal of this new lesion with non-surgical means. The lesion kept recurring and was suspicious for a squamous cell cancer. We removed it in the operating room and checked the margins prior to closing the area. Not only was she pleased with the reconstructive result, she loved that her lower eyelid bags were also improved! Her post-operative photo was taken about a month after surgery.
This patient in his sixties presented with a lesion growing under his right eye for over a year. It was clinically consistent with a basal cell cancer. We removed it in the office. After the pathologists confirmed that the lesion was completely removed, we closed the defect using skin from his cheek. The post-operative photos were taken five weeks following surgery.
This patient in her nineties had a lesion in the middle of her forehead that slowly grew over a few years. It was obviously a basal cell cancer. This was removed in the operating room under twilight anesthesia. A pathologist checked the margins of the lesion before we closed the area.
She is so pleased with her scar! People have a hard time telling if anything was ever there! We also got her set up with sunscreen to help prevent further damage.
The postoperative photo was taken six weeks after her procedure.
