Skin Cancer Treatment in Scottsdale, AZ

Expert Skin Cancer Treatment and Reconstruction with Dr. Stutman

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, but with early detection and the right treatment, it can often be treated successfully. Dr. Stutman is highly experienced in treating various types of skin cancer, including Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), and Melanoma. His expertise extends beyond the initial treatment of skin cancer, offering comprehensive solutions that include complete excision and reconstruction to restore both function and appearance.

Comprehensive Skin Cancer Treatment

Skin cancer treatment typically begins with the complete excision of the cancerous growth. Dr. Stutman uses advanced techniques to ensure that the tumor is completely removed, minimizing the chance of recurrence. Following excision, reconstruction is necessary to repair the wound and restore the skin to its natural appearance.

Reconstruction After Skin Cancer Removal

After removing the cancer, reconstruction plays a crucial role in restoring both the function and aesthetic quality of the affected area. Most reconstructions involve using adjacent skin, meaning the tissue around the wound is carefully moved to cover the area. In some cases, a skin graft may be required if there is insufficient nearby skin to close the wound.

During your consultation, Dr. Stutman will thoroughly discuss your treatment options and help you determine the best approach based on the location and extent of the skin cancer. He takes great care in ensuring that the reconstructive process is as smooth as possible and that you are comfortable with your treatment plan.

Minimally Invasive Reconstruction Options

Most skin cancer reconstructions can be performed under local anesthesia, which means you’ll remain awake but comfortable during the procedure. This minimizes recovery time and allows for a quicker return to daily activities.

Dr. Stutman is dedicated to using advanced techniques to minimize scarring and optimize cosmetic outcomes, so you can feel confident and satisfied with the results.
