Face Skin Cancer Surgery

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world 

Face skin cancer surgery – Perth 

Dr Lewis Blennerhassett is a leading Specialist Plastic Surgeon and has more than 20 years experience in treatment of all forms of skin cancer (under both local and general anaesthetic) and scar minimisation. 

His first class anatomy knowledge and his surgery and reconstructive skills from his extensive plastic surgery training ensures that the face skin cancer surgery and body skin cancer surgery he performs is meticulous and precise, meeting the highest standards of safety and care.
 
The care he offers is highly individualised and based on your needs. After a comprehensive and thorough discussion with you, he will personally work with you on your skin cancer surgery procedure plan that is designed to get your desired result. Scars will be located along natural skin fold lines if possible.
 
The skin cancer surgery he provides covers the main types of skin cancer:

*basal cell carcinoma (BCC) - makes up about two-thirds (66%) of non-melanoma skin cancers.
*squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) - accounts for about one-third (33%) of non-melanoma skin cancers
*melanoma
 
Dr Blennerhassett has performed skin cancer surgery in Perth on all parts of the body for adult patients of all ages – with some of his patients having had as many as several hundred skin cancers removed over a 20 year period.

He is a great communicator and happy to take the time to answer all your questions.
 
What causes skin cancer?
 
Skin cancer occurs when skin cells are damaged. It is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells.
 
Some factors that increase your risk of skin cancer include;
*sunburn
*tanning
*solariums
*genetics
*skin type – fair skin types more common
*certain rare syndromes
*some immunosuppressant drugs
 
There are other less common causes of skin cancer but the above causes are by far the most common
  
How common is skin cancer?
 
Cancer Council WA says at least 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of 70.
The risk is higher in men (2 in 3) than in women (3 in 5).
