Who Is a Candidate for Facial Reconstruction?

Facial skin cancer reconstruction is recommended for patients who have undergone or are planning to undergo removal of skin cancer and want to restore the appearance of the affected area. Many patients seek reconstruction to minimize visible changes and improve how the area heals.

Candidates include individuals with small or large defects following excision, as well as those concerned about scarring or facial symmetry. Each case is unique, and the best approach is determined through a detailed consultation and evaluation of your specific needs.

What to Expect During Your Reconstruction Procedure

Comprehensive Evaluation and Planning

Dr. Berman assesses the surgical site, skin quality, and facial anatomy to determine the most effective reconstruction approach.

Selection of the Appropriate Technique

Depending on the size and location of the defect, techniques may include direct closure, local tissue rearrangement (flaps), or skin grafting.

Precise Reconstruction of Facial Structures

Tissue is carefully repositioned or transferred to restore both appearance and function, with close attention to natural contours and symmetry.

Closure and Refinement

The area is meticulously closed to support optimal healing and minimize scarring, with techniques chosen to blend seamlessly with surrounding tissue.

Healing and Care Following Your Procedure

Recovery will vary depending on the extent of reconstruction, but most patients can expect mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area. Bandaging or protective dressings may be applied initially to support healing.

Patients are given detailed aftercare instructions, including how to keep the area clean and protected. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Berman to monitor healing and ensure the best possible outcome. Most patients gradually return to normal activities as healing progresses.

Results After Skin Cancer Reconstruction

As healing continues, the reconstructed area softens and blends more naturally with surrounding tissue. While some initial redness or firmness is expected, these effects typically improve over time.

The goal of facial skin cancer reconstruction is to make the repair as inconspicuous as possible while maintaining normal facial function. With proper care, patients often achieve results that restore both confidence and a sense of normalcy.
