Cheek Skin Cancer Treatment with Local Skin Flap Surgery
Skin cancer on the cheek, can be concerning not only for health reasons but also for cosmetic appearance. When diagnosed early, skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma can often be successfully treated with surgery. In a recent case, I successfully removed a cancerous lesion on a patient’s cheek using a local skin flap technique. This procedure involves relocating healthy skin from a nearby area to cover the defect, ensuring both functional and aesthetic recovery. The result was a seamless repair that preserved the natural contours of the face while eliminating the cancerous tissue.
Local skin flap surgery is a preferred method for facial reconstruction because it minimizes scarring and maintains the natural appearance of the face. The technique allows for optimal healing with minimal risk of recurrence, and patients often experience excellent cosmetic outcomes.
