Reconstruction After Cancer
When cancer is removed from many parts of the body, reconstruction may be necessary to restore a natural appearance and optimal range of motion.
Reconstructive surgery can be something as simple as treatment for scarring or as complex as the rebuilding of facial features and other body parts.
Cancer reconstruction is the art of making people feel whole again. As plastic surgeons, our goal is to not only ensure that the cancer is treated, but to establish a better quality of life. Restoration of those parts that are removed following cancer help to establish this better quality of life by returning form and function as close to normal as possible for those areas effected by the cancer. Working with you, the oncologists and your surgeon, we will help reestablish the sense of wholeness frequently lost with the treatment of cancer.
Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
Surgeons at the Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Institute work closely with cancer specialists at the nearby Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. This proximity helps us provide coordinated patient care, and makes it possible to include plastic and reconstructive procedures during other necessary surgeries, when appropriate.
