Why You May Need Skin Cancer Reconstruction
If you have been diagnosed with skin cancer, you may have to have the cancerous growth removed to prevent further spread and to protect your health. Using specialized techniques and state-of-the-art tools and equipment, an experienced surgeon like Dr. Batniji can skillfully remove the cancerous growth, as well as other skin lesions.
Skin cancer reconstruction can be an essential aspect of this process. After a cancerous growth is removed, a gap is often left in the skin. Dr. Batniji can perform skin cancer reconstruction for Beverly Hills and Newport Beach patients, utilizing his highly specialized skills to restore a normal and natural appearance to the area.
What Are Your Options for Skin Cancer Reconstruction?
Skin cancer reconstruction can be performed in a number of ways. Typical technique choices include local flap reconstruction and skin graft reconstruction.
Local flap reconstruction is the most common choice. This technique involves taking a flap of skin right near the gap and moving it to carefully fill in the gap. These flaps can be designed in different ways to ensure the best fit.
Skin grafts are used for very shallow gaps. They are taken from another area of the body where the skin has a similar appearance to the skin around the gap. Typically, full-thickness grafts are used, meaning grafts that are surgically removed from the donor area.
Skin grafts are usually taken from areas like the neck, the area behind the ear, or very high up on the forehead. After this, they are carefully shaped to fit the needed dimensions.
After skin cancer reconstruction, scar revision is often necessary to ensure the most natural appearance possible.

Recovery and Results
Your recovery depends heavily on how well you follow the instructions that Dr. Batniji gives you. You will need to care for the reconstructed area, cleaning it regularly and applying topical medications.
During your recovery, redness, soreness, and swelling are common, so you shouldn’t panic if these develop. They will go away on their own eventually. Small amounts of fluid may also ooze out or drain from your incision sites.
Make sure that you are well rested and that you limit your movements. Don’t engage in strenuous physical activities until you are completely healed, and limit direct sun exposure. When the area completely healed, you will be able to see the full results of the reconstruction surgery.
Skin Cancer Reconstruction Cost
The cost of skin cancer reconstruction procedures varies depending on the specific techniques utilized, how long the procedure takes, and other individual factors. Your health insurance provider may cover the cost of your reconstruction, so contact them beforehand to find out more.
