Nasal Reconstruction

Skin cancer, by definition, can present anywhere on the body. When it is on the arm or shoulder or back, it is usually easy to remove, and any resultant scar that might exist rarely presents a significant cosmetic or functional problem for the patient. When skin cancer develops on the nose or face, removing the affected tissue can result in a significant deformity or distortion. This is why the skills of an experienced plastic surgeon are required to properly reconstruct that missing part, leaving the patient with as little disfigurement as possible. Sometimes reconstructive surgery is fairly straightforward, and other times it can be more complex. This may involve a skin flap or skin graft, and it may occasionally require more than one stage of surgery to achieve optimal results from the reconstruction.
