Skin Cancer Treatment in The Villages, FL

Skin cancer treatment involves surgically removing the area of darkened skin. And to properly assure that the skin cancer is completely removed, it is necessary to remove skin that is nearby and below the cancerous dark spot. In some cases, this can result in a sizable amount of skin that must be removed. And skin cancer often appears on the surfaces of the skin that are most exposed and very visible even when wearing clothes. For these reasons, a skilled plastic surgeon is without question your best option for treatment.

At VIP in The Villages skin cancer treatment is performed at our on-site ambulatory surgical center. Treatment begins with a few injections of a local anesthetic that will numb the area to be treated. You will be awake during the procedure. Once the area being treated is sufficiently numb, Dr. Yi or Dr. Soares only removes only the tissue necessary to assure that all of the cancer is effectively removed. The surgeon will then close the void left by the removal of tissue using the same suturing skills used in the cosmetic procedures they practice every day. By performing very clean incisions and using deep suturing skills, the incision can be flawlessly closed. Surgical wound tape is also used to cover the incision and sutures for protection, to reduce scaring and to promote healing. If you carefully follow recovery instructions, there will be very minimal if any visible scaring. You will be able to leave immediately after your skin cancer treatment.
