Skin Cancer
Skin Cancer is the most common cancer that affects humans. Exposed skin without sunblock is more susceptible to skin cancer, and the severity of cancer may vary.
Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCC), and Melanoma are the most common types of skin cancer. Skin cancers such as BCC are the least aggressive. It does not spread to other parts of the body in most cases, but it can grow slowly and cause anatomical and functional problems if not treated in time. SCC, on the other hand, is more aggressive and can spread to other parts of the body, particularly the lymph nodes that affects the prognosis.
A significant number of factors contribute to the development of skin cancer, including sun exposure, ageing, skin type, carcinogen exposure, immunosuppression, genetic mutations, chronic wounds, radiation exposure and viral infections.
Your first step to Skin Cancer reconstructive surgery is to schedule an appointment with Dr Khan at West Coast Plastic Surgery, one of Perth’s best skin cancer clinics. Get your GP to send us a referral to apply for a Medicare rebate for your consultation (special conditions apply from Medicare). You can also contact us by phone at 0862303041 or by fax at 0862303042 for the best plastic surgeons. Alternatively, you can send an email to admin@westcoastplasticsuregry.com.au. You will be contacted by a team member to book your appointment, and you can ask any questions you may have.
A few symptoms, such as swelling, bruising, numbness and discomfort, can be controlled with medications and certain posture adjustments. You will receive specific post-op instructions from Dr Khan before and after surgery. According to the type of skin cancer, the extent of surgery, and whether any additional non-surgical treatments are required (e.g. radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy), the follow-up may range from weeks to years.Generally, it is not recommended to swim in a pool, ocean, or Jacuzzi when stitches are in. Using a cold pack for 5-15 minutes every hour for the first eight to 24 hours after surgery can help with the swelling for the first day or two after surgery.
For wounds around the mouth or cheek areas, limiting hot foods, hot drinks, and heavy chewing for 48 hours may help reduce post-operative bleeding.Till the wound is fully healed, patients are advised not to apply makeup or powder directly on a fresh wound.
After your first consultation with Dr Khan, he will be able to assess your needs and requirements. A bespoke treatment plan that best suits your needs will be provided to you. Following your consultation, the cost of your personalized procedure will be provided to you.What to expect?
