Reconstructive Services
Reconstructive surgery is performed to treat body parts affected aesthetically or functionally by inborn defects, developmental abnormalities, or trauma. Take a look below at the reconstructive services offered by Dr. Silviu Diaconu.
Mohs/ Skin Cancer
Skin cancer has become very common, especially on areas of your body over exposed to the sun. Mohs surgery is a highly specialized technique for treating skin cancer. During this invasive procedure thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. Mohs surgery is so effective as it has the highest cure rate, lower recurrence rates, and reduced scarring compared to traditional techniques.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Breast reconstruction is a type of surgery to make a new breast after removal of the breast or part of the breast due to cancer. The aim is to make a breast of similar size and shape to your original breast. Reconstruction is done in stages. Complete Reconstruction can take up to a year. Dr. Diaconu can offer expert breast reconstruction and will pay close attention to both medical and aesthetic outcomes.
Facial Trauma
Facial Trauma is an injury of the face. Accidents, falls, and car accidents are among the most common causes. If you or a loved one come across one of these types of injuries, it is imperative that your treating physician has expertise in emergency care, acute treatment, and long-term reconstruction and rehabilitation such as Dr. Silviu Diaconu. Having comprehensive management of these injuries is key to for your long-term functional needs, and physical appearance.
Scar Revision
While no scar can be removed completely, plastic surgeons like Dr. Diaconu can help improve the overall appearance of a scar. After an accident, surgery, or other skin injury, scar tissue can form and leave an unwanted scar. Dr. Diaconu's goal will always be to make your scar as smooth and invisible as possible. If you are considering a scar revision procedure, make sure to find a qualified plastic surgeon who is skilled in scar treatment.
