FACIAL RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY AFTER SKIN CANCER

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. Skin cancer removal may result in large defects in the face. Simply closing these defects may lead to disfiguring distortion of the normal facial features as well as potential functional problems.

Dr. David W, Kim's expertise in a number of facial reconstructive surgery techniques, such as grafts and flaps obtained from the patient's own body, allows him to treat these defects in a manner that maximizes the cosmetic and functional outcome.

Dr. Kim works closely with noted dermatologists in the treatment and repair of skin cancers of the face and neck as well as aesthetic facial enhancement. He derives a tremendous amount of gratification in being able to help patients recover from the devastating loss of appearance and identity following facial skin cancer treatment.
