PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

Dr. Clark frequently performs repair of facial defects following removal of skin cancer. Many of these patients have recently undergone Mohs surgery, a specialized technique for removal of facial/skin malignancies. Common procedures include flaps and grafts.

A Forehead Flap is generally reserved for more extensive defects of the nose, or in cases where grafting is not an option. Analogous to the nasolabial flap, this requires two outpatient procedures separated by three weeks. Cartilage grafting may be done in conjunction with this procedure if necessary.
