Skin Cancer Removal and Repair at 1 Week

1 Week Later

This elderly gentleman came to consultation with a pretty large skin cancer over his temple. At surgery, the cancer was removed and the tissues around it were mobilized and moved into the defect.

Even at 1 week later the improvement is evident. The patient required no further care from our office at this point.

OPERATIVE STATISTICS:

Before: Large Skin Cancer Over the Right Temple.
After: Cancer Removed and Defect Repaired With Excellent Cosmetic Result.
Operative Design: The patient's cancer was removed and the local tissues were moved into the defect under a "twilight sleep" anesthetic as an outpatient at the Surgical Facility. The patient's insurance covered the surgery.
