Skin Cancer & Reconstruction

Clarity begins
with a considered plan.

Skin cancer treatment can bring uncertainty. Careful assessment, precise surgery and thoughtful reconstruction help make the next step clear.

Patient Framing

The diagnosis is
only one part of
the person.

A clear plan considers the type and location of the lesion, the tissue involved, and what reconstruction may be needed.

The aim is complete treatment with a repair designed around you.

The Measured Margin

Remove precisely.
Reconstruct thoughtfully.

Excision and reconstruction are planned together, from the first measured margin to the final repair.

Specialist Judgement

Treatment and repair
belong to the same
decision.

  1. Pathology

    Diagnosis, subtype and appropriate margins guide the plan.

  2. Location

    Function, tissue and visibility shape the reconstructive approach.

  3. Reconstruction

    Closure, local tissue movement or grafting is selected to suit the defect.

Areas of Care

Different concerns.
One continuous plan.

Recommendations depend on diagnosis, site, depth, function and the repair required.

  1. Skin Cancer Surgery (BCC & SCC) Surgical removal of basal and squamous cell skin cancers with margin control.
  2. Mole & Lesion Removal Excision of suspicious or changing lesions for diagnosis and treatment.
  3. Melanoma Surgery & Sentinel Node Biopsy Wide excision of melanoma with lymph node assessment where indicated.
  4. Scar Revision Refinement of scars to improve comfort, function and appearance.
  5. Complex Wound & Skin Graft Reconstruction Reconstruction for larger defects using local tissue or skin grafts as needed.
