Eyelid Skin Cancer Excision
Before and After Photo Gallery

This patient had a large, nodular basal cell carcinoma of her right lower lid. It was excised completely and there was an approximate 25-30% defect in the lower lid. The black mark denotes the amount of eyelid that was resected in order to remove the skin cancer.

She underwent eyelid reconstruction in the operating room using local advancement of tissue. She did well and this photo (top right) was taken 6 weeks after surgery. Note the lid symmetry and lack of abnormal scar formation.

This patient was seen by her Dermatologist specialized in Mohs surgery and underwent a removal of a large basal cell carcinoma that involved her eyelid, medial canthus, and lower cheek.

She underwent reconstruction of her eyelid, medial canthal, and lower cheek in the operating room using local advancement flaps. She is four months out in this photograph above and shows a great result with little scarring. Some patients tend to scar more than others and we attempt to optimize our patients as best as possible before, during and after surgery to help prevent as much scarring as possible. The surgery was done in conjunction with Dr. Richard Zoumalan, a facial plastic surgeon who works alongside Dr. Christopher Zoumalan on complicated eyelid and facial plastic procedures to produce the best desired outcome.
