Procedure: Staged Nasal Reconstruction with Cartilage Graft after Mohs Surgery
This 54-year-old female presented to the clinic with a basal cell carcinoma skin cancer of the right nostril (nasal ala). She was sent to our office for management of the reconstruction of her nose immediately following the Mohs surgical excision of her skin cancer. She presented for her reconstruction surgery the same afternoon as her Mohs surgery. Her defect involved most of the nostril including the skin, cartilage, and a portion of the inside lining of her nostril. This was reconstructed with two surgeries over the course of three weeks using her own cheek, ear cartilage, and nasal mucosa.
When viewing her before surgery photo, notice the asymmetry and destruction of the nostril created by invasive cancer. Her intraoperative photo demonstrates how she presented on the day of surgery with the defect that required reconstruction. Given the technically difficult and anatomically sensitive nature of this part of the nose, a staged nasolabial flap, ear cartilage graft, and mucosa flap was recommended to her to provide the best possible aesthetic and functional outcome. The two reconstructive surgeries were separated by three weeks to allow for the new blood supply to support the new nasal tissue. Her after photos, only 6 weeks after surgery, demonstrate a restored right nostril with better symmetry and well-hidden incisions. Minor residual swelling and redness of her incisions will improve with time and can be optimized with additional laser treatments.

Procedure: Keloid Excision
This 22-year-old female presented to the clinic to discuss concerns regarding a large keloid scar from a cartilage piercing that had been present for two years. She had undergone multiple steroid injections with her dermatologist prior to coming into our clinic. To address her concerns, we discussed an in-office surgical excision of her keloid scar under local anesthesia followed by post-surgical steroid injections and laser treatments.
When viewing her before surgery and 3 months after surgery photos, notice the absence of her keloid growth and restoration of the normal curvature of her left ear. While recurrence of any keloid is a significant risk, treating the keloid with several different options altogether including surgical excision, steroid injections, and laser treatments will optimize her outcome. At 3 months following her multi-modality treatment, there were no signs or evidence of recurrence.

Procedure: Mini-Facelift
This 67-year-old female presented to the clinic to discuss concerns regarding her sagging cheeks, jowls, and loose neck skin. To address her concerns, we discussed an in-office mini-facelift versus a full lower facelift with platysmaplasty. She elected to proceed with an in-office mini-facelift with oral sedation due to her need for a limited downtime procedure.
When viewing her before surgery and 3 months after surgery photos, notice the significant improvement in the contour of her jawline and neck. Her jawline is much smoother and the excess skin and banding in her neck have restored a youthful and natural appearance. All of these incisions are hardly visible even up close as they are well hidden along the hairline and around the ear.
