Mohs-Surgery Reconstruction for skin cancer
Mohs micrographic surgery is a very effective and safe treatment for skin cancer. The surgery entails taking very thin layers of cancerous skin, but the benefit is that it leaves behind the greatest amount of healthy skin. It can leave defects, but this is where Dr. Minton's expertise in cosmetic and facial surgery is key. His reconstruction can take place on the same day of surgery or later.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is one of the most common and difficult plastic surgery techniques. But it isn't just for cosmetic purposes. For patients with chronic sinusitis or a deviated septum, Dr. Minton's extensive knowledge of the structures of the face can effectively treat breathing problems.
Scar Revision
Dr. Minton performs scar revision procedures to reduce the appearance of scars caused by injury or previous surgery. There are many surgical methods of scar revision, only some of which may be appropriate for a particular type of scar or its location.
