Why Reconstructive Surgery Matters

Reconstructive procedures address a wide range of concerns, from removing skin cancer to revising a scar from a past injury or surgery. 

Unlike purely cosmetic procedures, these are often medically necessary, though many patients find the aesthetic outcome, a smoother scar, healthier skin, matters just as much to them as the medical result.

Is a Reconstructive Procedure Right for Me?

If you're dealing with a scar that bothers you, a suspicious skin lesion, or a wound that needs specialized treatment to heal well, a consultation is the place to start. You don't need a diagnosis going in. Tell us what you're noticing or concerned about, and we'll help determine the right path forward.

The Consultation Process What to Expect

2. Evaluation and Diagnosis

Your surgeon evaluates the area to determine the underlying cause and the most appropriate treatment.

3. Personalized Plan

Your surgeon builds a plan specific to your condition and goals, walking you through what your particular procedure involves.

4. Ongoing Partnership

Your surgeon and care team stay with you through the procedure and every stage of healing that follows.

Your Results and Recovery

Recovery varies considerably depending on the specific reconstructive procedure, from a short recovery for minor lesion removal to a longer healing process for more involved procedures like skin grafting. 

Once your procedure is determined, your surgeon will walk you through a detailed recovery timeline, along with what to expect at each stage and when you'll see final results.

Reconstructive Procedures Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a skin concern needs surgical treatment?

During your consultation, we'll evaluate the area to determine whether a reconstructive procedure or another approach is the right path forward.

Is reconstructive surgery covered by insurance?

Many reconstructive procedures, particularly those addressing skin cancer or injury, are covered by insurance. We can help you understand what applies to your specific situation.

How long does recovery take after a reconstructive procedure?

This varies significantly by procedure. Your surgeon will provide a detailed timeline specific to your plan during your consultation.

Will I need a biopsy before treatment?

For concerns like suspicious lesions, a biopsy may be recommended before determining the appropriate treatment. Your surgeon will discuss this during your consultation.

Can scar revision fully remove a scar?

Scar revision improves the appearance of a scar but cannot make it completely disappear. Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations for your specific scar.
