⚠️ Graphic content warning. ⚠️ Swipe to see the reconstruction process after skin cancer removal.
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and cancers around the eye are more common than many people realize. This 61-year-old patient had a squamous cell carcinoma involving the upper and lower eyelids. After Mohs surgery removed the cancer, I reconstructed the area the following day.
When tumors are removed, it can leave a significant defect. My goal is to carefully rebuild the eyelid so it can blink, protect the eye, and look natural again. This often involves using nearby tissue and skin grafts to restore both function and structure.
Early detection matters. If you notice anything new or changing around your eyes, it is always worth having it evaluated.
