Skin Surgery
Skin surgery encompasses the treatment of skin cancers and reconstruction of tissue defects using specialized techniques including excision, skin grafts, and flaps. These procedures prioritize complete removal of problematic tissue while achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes through careful reconstruction and scar management.
The Specialist Clinic offers a range of skin surgery services including:
Skin Cancer Surgery
Skin cancer surgery involves the precise removal of cancerous or suspicious skin lesions, with the primary goal of achieving clear margins while minimising impact on the surrounding tissue. Reconstruction following excision is carefully planned to restore both function and appearance, particularly where lesions occur on cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face.
Skin Grafts & Flaps
Skin grafts and flaps are reconstructive techniques used to repair areas of skin loss resulting from trauma, burns, infection, or surgical excision. The most appropriate technique is selected based on the size, location, and depth of the defect, with the aim of achieving a functional and aesthetically considered outcome.
Scar Revision
Scar revision surgery improves the appearance of scars that are raised, depressed, discoloured, or poorly positioned, using a range of surgical and non-surgical techniques tailored to the scar type and location. While no scar can be completely erased, the goal is to make it less conspicuous and better integrated with the surrounding skin.
