Skin Cancer Excision & Reconstruction
BOOK APPOINTMENT
Skin cancer excision can result in significant destruction of cosmetically sensitive areas and can leave patients with substantial deformities. Dr. Merrick is especially skilled at preventing this. Using a technique more accurate than Mohs Surgery, Dr. Merrick partners with his board-certified Pathology colleagues to accurately remove all the cancer using frozen section pathologic evaluation and his extensive plastic surgery knowledge and skill to restore beauty, aesthetics, and function.
Scar Revision
BOOK APPOINTMENT
Scar revision can include anything from topical treatments to surgery and is meant to minimize a scar so that it is more consistent with your surrounding skin tone and texture.
Facial Fractures
Just like any other injury, facial fractures may be minor or more serious. They can include fractures of the upper or lower jaw, the cheekbones, the nose, the forehead and even the eye sockets. Depending on the extent of the injuries, the repair process may also address areas such as the lips, tongue and skin, including the eyelids.
Cyst/Lesion Removal
A cyst is a closed sac under the skin filled with liquid and/or soft or hard material. Cysts can be found anywhere on the body. Although they are often slow-growing, painless, movable lumps beneath the skin, they can occasionally become inflamed and tender. Minor surgery can help the cyst from coming back. Surgery will remove the discharge and the sac that make up the walls of the cyst.
Ear Reconstruction
BOOK APPOINTMENT
Ear Reconstruction, also known as otoplasty – can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. It can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth, or it can treat misshapen ears caused by injury. Prominent ears are among the most common deformities that Dr. Merrick treats.
