Restoring the skin and contour after removal of a skin cancer, with attention to both healing and appearance.


After a skin cancer is removed, the resulting wound sometimes needs more than a simple closure, particularly on the face or other visible or complex areas. Reconstruction restores the skin and contour using careful direct closure, local flaps that borrow nearby skin, or skin grafts.
Complete and confirmed removal of the cancer always comes first and is coordinated with your dermatology or oncology team. Reconstruction is then planned to restore appearance and function while respecting the priority of clear margins.
It does not treat the cancer itself, which must be removed and confirmed clear first, and it cannot leave the area scar-free. Some reconstructions are staged over more than one procedure.
Reconstruction is coordinated with the team removing the cancer, so the priority of complete removal is clear. The reconstructive plan, possible techniques, and realistic outcomes are explained in advance.
Once the cancer is removed and margins are addressed, the defect is reconstructed using direct closure, a local flap, or a skin graft, chosen to restore appearance and function for that area.
The area is supported and protected while it heals. Recovery depends on the technique and site, and the reconstructed area continues to settle and refine over the following months.
A restored, discreet, and functional reconstruction is achievable. It cannot remove the need for scars, and ongoing skin surveillance remains important after skin cancer. Your surgeon explains the plan and any staging involved.
Reconstruction after skin cancer is carefully planned but carries surgical risks. Possible risks include:
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems, wound complications, and tissue loss, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are especially important in reconstructive surgery.
Reconstructive surgery at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
Dr. Amoroso coordinates carefully with your oncology team and chooses reconstruction technique based on the defect's specific location, especially in sensitive areas like the face.
From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand which technique suits your defect, and what is realistic.
