We excise suspicious tissue on and under the skin all
over the body (for specific breast diseases see the corresponding link  Breast
surgery). After
removal of the tissue, it is immediately examined by a pathology institute.
The results are discussed with the patient in our practice.
If the tumor
is malignant, further removal will be necessary. To avoid a future recurrence
of the tumor, it and a certain amount of the surrounding tissue must be
excised. With the plastic surgical techniques of tissue transposition and
transplantation, even larger defects can be corrected easily. Especially
on the face, a neat, barely visible scar is very important for the patient's
self-image.
As plastic surgeons we see a combination of an oncologically
correct approach and an aesthetically pleasing end result as our main goals. |
