Skin Tumors Removal And Flap Reconstruction

Skin Tumor Removal & Reconstruction involves removing skin tumors, such as benign or malignant growths, followed by reconstructive techniques to restore the skin’s appearance and function. This procedure aims to ensure complete tumor excision while minimizing scarring and preserving the natural contours of the skin. At Dr. Raja Fakhoury Clinic, we use advanced techniques to achieve optimal cosmetic results, ensuring both the safety and aesthetic outcome of the surgery.

Procedure Details

The procedure begins with the removal of the skin tumor, using precision to ensure complete excision while maintaining as much healthy tissue as possible. Following tumor removal, reconstructive techniques, such as skin flaps or grafts, are used to close the wound and restore the skin’s appearance and function. This surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort.

Steps of the Surgery

1. Consultation: Dr. Fakhoury will assess the skin tumor, discuss your options, and plan the most suitable surgical approach.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
3. Tumor Removal: The skin tumor is carefully removed, ensuring clear margins to reduce the risk of recurrence.
4. Reconstruction: A skin flap or graft is used to close the wound and restore the area’s appearance, based on the location and size of the tumor.
5. Closure: : The area is carefully sutured, and the healing process begins.

Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common initially, healing progresses within 1-2 weeks, and final results, including scarring, become apparent after 3-6 months as the area fully heals.
