Skin Cancer

Early Diagnosis. Precise Treatment. Optimal Aesthetic Outcome.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer worldwide, yet when diagnosed early, it is highly treatable. At our clinic, we combine oncological safety with advanced plastic surgical techniques, ensuring not only complete removal but also the best possible aesthetic and functional result.

What is Skin Cancer?

Skin cancer arises from abnormal growth of skin cells, most commonly due to cumulative sun exposure. It can develop anywhere on the body, particularly in sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, and hands.

The main types include:

  • Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – the most common and least aggressive form

  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) – potentially more invasive if untreated

  • Melanoma – the most aggressive type, requiring early diagnosis and prompt treatment

Warning Signs

Early recognition is critical. You should seek medical evaluation if you notice:

  • A new or changing mole

  • Irregular borders or asymmetry

  • Variation in color (brown, black, red, or white areas)

  • Increase in size or thickness

  • Bleeding, ulceration, or non-healing lesions

Diagnosis

A thorough clinical examination is performed, often combined with dermatoscopy for enhanced evaluation.
If a lesion appears suspicious, a biopsy or complete excision is carried out for definitive diagnosis.

Treatment Approach

Treatment is tailored to each patient and lesion type, always prioritizing complete oncological clearance (R0 excision).

Options include:

  • Surgical Excision with appropriate safety margins

  • Reconstructive Techniques (local flaps, grafts)

  • Advanced closure methods for minimal scarring

  • Microsurgical principles, when required in complex cases

Aesthetic & Functional Restoration

As a plastic surgeon, the focus extends beyond removal:

  • Preservation of facial harmony

  • Restoration of natural contours

  • Minimization of visible scarring

  • Maintenance of full function, especially in delicate areas (eyelids, lips, nose)

Why Choose Our Clinic

  • Expertise in skin cancer surgery & reconstruction

  • Emphasis on natural, aesthetic outcomes

  • Use of modern, minimally invasive techniques

  • Comprehensive care from diagnosis to follow-up

Prevention & Follow-Up

Regular skin checks are essential, especially for high-risk individuals.

We recommend:

  • Annual skin examination

  • Sun protection (SPF, avoidance of peak UV hours)

  • Early evaluation of any suspicious lesion
