Reconstructive Procedures

Due to the complex and intricate anatomy of the head and neck, skin cancers in this area are often treated by a dermatologist using a special method called MOHS surgery to remove the skin cancer completely, while only removing the absolute minimum of nearby healthy tissue. After the skin cancer has been successfully removed, the dermatologic surgeon may refer their patient to a facial plastic surgeon for closure of the surgical wound.

Dr. Bryant will often perform MOHS wound closures on the same day as the patient’s cancer removal surgery. If the procedure needs to be delayed or treated in the operating room, the surgical plan and options for treatment will carefully be reviewed in advance so you can be comfortable and confident in the plan.

In addition to cancer reconstructions, Dr. Bryant treats patients who have suffered from traumatic injuries to the face, such as facial fractures, broken noses, skin injuries, scar revision, facial trauma reconstruction, and cancer reconstruction. These injuries may be treated immediately in the emergency room, or in the outpatient setting within one of the surgical procedure rooms at our clinic.
