 Facial Reconstructive Surgery, New Jersey - New York

Dr. Joseph has the training and experience to perform Facial Reconstructive Surgery of defects due to skin cancer. Most patients are referred to Dr. Joseph from local dermatologists that trust his judgement and expertise with facial reconstruction. Moh's surgery is a procedure performed by dermatologists that nearly always cures basal cell cancer of the skin. After this type of procedure, however, there can be large areas of missing skin requiring Facial Reconstructive Surgery. This is achieved either with skin grafts or with local skin-flap repair.

Facial Reconstructive Surgery is typically same-day-surgery, and down-time is around one week. Dr. Joseph has expertise in the repair of defects involving the ears, forehead, nose, cheeks, and neck skin. The example above demonstrates the natural appearance of the left ear after Moh's surgery was performed to erradicate a basal cell carcinoma. Surgery took around an hour, and sutures were removed in seven days.
