A Beautiful Comeback

Mobile Skin Reconstruction at The Park & Rebowe Clinic for Plastic Surgery //

At The Park & Rebowe Clinic for Plastic Surgery, Drs. Park and Rebowe often oversee all aspects of skin cancer management, including diagnosis, treatment, reconstruction, and ongoing monitoring. In certain cases, dermatology assistance is sought, particularly for Mohs surgery in aesthetically sensitive areas to minimize the defect while enabling plastic surgeon-led repair.

Beyond Imperfections

What is Skin Reconstruction? //

Skin reconstruction is a medical and surgical procedure to repair and restore the skin, often used after skin lesions, defects, or injuries. It may be necessary when there is skin damage due to injuries, skin cancer excision, or other conditions. Our Mobile Skin Reconstruction procedure aims to improve both the aesthetics and function of the affected area, promoting healing and restoring the appearance of the skin. Scar revision can improve the appearance of the scar by making it less obvious, but it cannot remove a scar.

This may involve moving local tissue to improve the scar's appearance, making the scar more narrow, or shifting the scar to a less visible place or direction. Dermabrasion or laser therapy removes the top layers of skin, and as new skin forms, the scar is blunted.

Skin grafting moves skin without blood vessels from a healthy area to the injured area to cover wounds or release tightened scar contractures since scars can pull tissue together and impair function. These contractures require release and treatment with local tissue flaps, grafts, tissue expansion, or larger flap procedures.

Flap surgery involves moving the skin with underlying soft tissues and blood vessels from a healthy area to the site of need.

A Z-plasty repositions a scar along more natural lines and creases to decrease its visibility and increase length, allowing the wound to heal with less tension.

Transforming Scars Into Stories

Your Skin Reconstruction Procedure //

Among skin cancer types, basal cell carcinoma is the most common and tends to grow slowly without spreading. Squamous cell carcinoma, frequently located on the face and hands, can potentially spread to lymph nodes or internal organs, posing a life-threatening risk. Malignant melanoma, while less common, is the most dangerous skin cancer type, with treatment methods contingent upon its depth.

Skin lesions are typically diagnosed through biopsy, conducted by professionals such as Drs. Park and Rebowe, providers like Lindsey Beville PA-C, Megan Vallance CRNP, dermatologists, or primary care physicians. Treatment plans are then determined by Dr. Park, encompassing excision and immediate reconstruction, possibly necessitating re-excision for positive margins, Mohs excision performed by another physician for same-day tumor removal, or resection in the operating room with frozen section analysis. Skin Reconstruction may involve closure, grafts, or flaps.

Skin Reconstruction & Scar Revision Frequently Asked Questions //

Is skin reconstruction painful?

Skin reconstruction procedures can be associated with some level of discomfort during the initial stages of recovery. The extent of discomfort depends on the type of reconstruction, the size and location of the treated area, and individual pain tolerance. Your surgeon will typically prescribe pain medication or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to manage any discomfort during the recovery period. It's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to minimize pain, reduce swelling, and promote a smoother recovery process. While there may be some pain, many individuals find the benefits of skin reconstruction, including improved aesthetics and enhanced well-being, to be worth the temporary discomfort associated with the procedure and recovery.
