About Skin Cancer Surgery
Our skin cancer surgery services provide complete excision of skin cancers followed by reconstructive closure to minimize scarring. Our plastic surgeons specialize in achieving both oncological clearance and optimal aesthetic outcomes.
Skin cancer surgery involves the removal of cancerous lesions followed by reconstruction of the resulting defect. At Aestique Clinic, our surgeons specialize in the complete excision of skin cancers with attention to oncological margins while providing expert reconstruction to minimize scarring and functional impairment.
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. When caught early and treated properly, cure rates are excellent. Our approach prioritizes complete cancer removal while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible and providing aesthetic reconstruction, particularly for lesions on the face and other visible areas.

Am I a Good Candidate?
Skin cancer surgery is recommended for patients with:

- Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin
- Melanoma requiring surgical excision
- Skin lesions that have changed in size, shape, or color
- Recurrent skin cancers requiring re-excision
- Post-excision defects requiring reconstruction
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery depends on the size and location of excision:
- Simple Excision: Minimal downtime. Sutures removed at 5-14 days depending on location.
- Flap Reconstruction: 1-2 weeks of restricted activity. Swelling and bruising for 2-3 weeks.
- Skin Graft: Graft site monitored for 5-7 days. Donor site heals in 2-3 weeks.
- All Cases: Strict sun protection is essential. Follow-up pathology results reviewed.
- Surveillance: Regular skin checks recommended every 3-12 months based on cancer type and risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have skin cancer?
Warning signs include new or changing moles, lesions that won't heal, spots that bleed or crust, and any growth that changes in size, shape, or color. If you notice any concerning changes, seek evaluation promptly.
Will skin cancer surgery leave a scar?
Some scarring is inevitable, but our surgeons use specialized closure techniques to minimize scarring. For facial skin cancers, we use local flap techniques that hide scars in natural skin lines.
Can skin cancer come back after surgery?
With proper excision and clear margins, cure rates are very high (95%+ for BCC and SCC). Regular follow-up monitoring is essential to detect any recurrence early.
