Addressing Your Skin Cancer

Our experienced Consultant Plastic Surgeons have spent years treating skin cancers in the NHS and privately. We are able to see, diagnose and remove lesions, which will then be sent to the lab for analysis. This gives us the ability to inform you of the outcome and our findings, so we can then begin planning the next stages of your care. Typically, we aim to see and treat patients within two weeks, but this can be accomplished sooner if you are feeling particularly anxious.

When to Consider Skin Cancer Treatment

In the vast majority of cases, skin cancer is caused by overexposure to the sun’s UV rays. When your skin’s cells are exposed to too much of this type of energy, it can cause abnormal cellular growth, which is the basis for skin cancer. Your skin cells grow and divide at an unhealthy rate, and the problem can spread to other parts of the body, as well.

The good news is that skin cancer can be addressed very effectively if it’s caught early on and not allowed to progress. If left untreated, however, it can become quite a serious issue and may lead to further complications that can potentially even be life-threatening. At Elanic, we have a team of skilled surgeons who can assess your issue and develop a treatment plan that enables you to say goodbye to skin cancer for good.

Skin Cancer Treatment and Reconstruction

For most patients, skin cancer treatment in Glasgow involves a two-pronged approach: First, the cancer must be carefully and precisely removed from the treatment area, before the area is then reconstructed.

Skin Cancer Excision

When skin cancer is brought to our attention early on, excision is a very simple and straightforward procedure that utilises a topical anaesthetic. Cancerous cells can be removed without impacting the deeper layers of your skin, so you won’t have to deal with any kind of extensive recovery period.

Reconstruction

Once the cancer has been removed, you will likely need reconstructive attention, to fully restore your appearance. When cancer removal leaves behind a divot or indentation in the treatment area, various methods can be used to rebuild the area, so you can enjoy your fullest sense of self-confidence.

Kimberly McKeirnan

Absolutely fantastic! The doctors and nurses were incredible, making me feel completely welcomed and cared for throughout my experience. They constantly checked in to ensure I was comfortable and reassured, and just before surgery, they put me completely at ease-especially important since it was my first time under anaesthetic. I couldn't have asked for better care. Thanks so much will be recommending it to anyone who wants surgery like this xx
