What are your plastic surgery options?
At The Skin Clinic, our board-certified plastic surgeons collaborate seamlessly with experienced dermatologists. This unique partnership ensures the best possible care for your skin concerns, whether on your face (where appearance matters most) or your hands (where function is key).
Our team is highly trained in advanced techniques to deliver both optimal aesthetics and functionality, no matter if you’re dealing with skin cancer or a benign condition. We prioritize minimally invasive procedures to remove the lesion with the necessary margin and reconstruct the area for the best cosmetic outcome.
Many of these procedures can be performed comfortably under local anesthetic right here at our conveniently located 108 Harley Street clinic.
Cosmetic Mole Removal
If you wish to remove an atypical mole or just any mole our consultant can do so on the day of your appointment in our day surgery centre. This is done under local anaesthetic followed by wound care advice by our nurses.
Local Flap Reconstruction
After you have had your surgery, your consultant will work closely with our plastic surgeon to fully reconstruct the surgical area by using surrounding tissues to close the site. With a local flap, adjacent tissue is used to yield a better match.
Wide Excision of Skin Cancers
If you are diagnosed with melanoma, your consultant will excise a rim of normal tissue (margin) along with the malignant tissue it surrounds. The size of the margin would depend on the thickness of the skin cancer and sometimes its location on the body. It is done under local anaesthetic within the clinic. Your consultant will also recommend wide local excision if you wish to remove atypical moles.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Melanoma
Your consultant will usually carry this biopsy out under general anaesthetic in order to remove the sentinel lymph node(s). This gland is the first lymph node in your axilla (armpit) to which skin cancer may have spread. This helps your consultant tailor-make the right treatment plan for you.
Scar Revision
Your initial consultation will involve a thorough examination to accurately diagnose your condition. If necessary, we’ll recommend further tests to confirm our findings. Once a diagnosis is established, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs
