A collection of before and after images showcasing the outcomes of common procedures we perform.
01
Ellipse cancer removal
The most common and straightforward surgical treatment for removing skin cancer is called ellipse excision. This procedure involves removing a boat-shaped section of skin that contains the cancer and then using sutures to bring the edges of the skin together.
02
Flap procedure
Flap surgery is a plastic surgery method that is utilised to treat skin cancers that cannot be treated with a simple ellipse. Flap surgery is performed when the wound is too large to be closed an ellipse, among other reasons.
03
Skin Graft
In the case a ellipse or flap is not achievable Dr Coleman may opt to do a skin graft by taking a thin sheet of skin another part of your body, known as the donor site, and use it to cover the area where the skin cancer was removed.
