Skin cancer is, unfortunately, very common in Northern Nevada. Removal of skin cancers are very common on the face and can result in defects that require careful reconstruction. Dr. Yamamoto often reconstructs sensitive locations like the eyelid, nose, ear, and lip to create the best possible appearance and minimize visible scarring. Understanding the intricate anatomy and contours of the face are essential in excellent reconstruction outcomes.
