Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons at Group Health specialize in the removal, repair, restoration or improvement of the skin and external features resulting from disease, cancer, injury or birth defects.
Facial plastic surgery is often performed to treat birth defects and remove skin abnormalities such as melanoma, other skin cancers, warts, acne scars or birthmarks. Reconstructive surgery can be used to reconstruct and rebuild defects caused by removal of skin lesions, applying all the facial plastic surgery principles to reconstruction.
