RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

Considering reconstructive surgery after skin cancer removal? Dr. Sunny Park, a skilled reconstructive surgeon, offers solutions to restore both the appearance and function of your skin.

What is Reconstructive Surgery?

Reconstructive surgery focuses on repairing skin defects caused by various factors, including skin cancer removal. Dr. Park, working alongside local Newport Beach dermatologists, utilizes Mohs surgery for precise cancer removal. Following this, he creates a personalized reconstruction plan based on several factors:

  • Defect location: Where on your body is the affected area?

  • Defect size: How large is the area requiring reconstruction?

  • Your unique anatomy: What best suits your individual needs and healing potential?

Reconstructive Techniques

Dr. Park offers a range of reconstructive techniques to achieve optimal results:

  • Primary closure: Stitching the edges of the wound directly together.

  • Local flaps: Utilizing nearby healthy skin to cover the defect.

  • Skin grafts: Transplanting healthy skin from another area of your body to the affected area.

Recovery After Reconstructive Surgery

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with stitches removed within 7-10 days. Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, with swelling and bruising varying from person to person. Cold compresses applied during the first few days can help minimize swelling.
