May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and in Arizona sun, daily protection matters. ☀️

A few sun facts worth knowing:
• UV stands for ultraviolet. Broad spectrum sunscreen helps protect against UVA and UVB rays. UVA contributes to visible aging and dark spots, while UVB is the main cause of sunburn.
• SPF means Sun Protection Factor and measures UVB protection. Higher SPF offers more UVB protection, but only when you apply enough and reapply consistently.
• Sunscreen works best when you use the right amount. Aim for about a nickel-sized amount for face and neck, and about a shot-glass amount for the body.
• Reapply every 2 hours, and sooner if you are swimming or sweating.
• Sun exposure adds up year round, even on cloudy days, and you can still get UV exposure through windows, especially while driving.
• Sun safety is more than sunscreen. Add hats, sunglasses, shade, and protect often-missed areas like ears, scalp, neck, chest, hands, and tops of feet.

Teamwork makes the difference. 💙

This patient had a large basal cell carcinoma on the right thigh treated with Mohs surgery by Dr. Weyer, including tumor debulking and removal to clear the cancer. After Mohs, the post-surgical defect required thoughtful reconstruction.

Dr. Swanson completed the repair using adjacent tissue flaps, and the redundant skin was repurposed as a full thickness skin graft, eliminating the need to take donor tissue from another body area. The last photo shows the long-term result, and this type of closure also helps facilitate ongoing monitoring of the area for potential cancer recurrence.

Behind outcomes like this is an entire care team. Our medical assistants and clinical staff support every step, from patient prep and assisting during the procedure to wound care education and follow-up. We are proud of the collaboration that helps patients heal well and feel supported throughout their care.

Post pregnancy changes in breast volume and shape are incredibly common. When a patient wants both a fuller look and a more lifted contour, a breast augmentation with mastopexy can be a great combination.

This before-and-after features a breast augmentation with mastopexy performed by Dr. Moenster to restore volume and improve shape. Augmentation adds fullness, while the mastopexy lifts and reshapes the breast tissue for a more balanced contour.

Implant details: Natrelle Inspira Smooth Cohesive Full-profile silicone implants, 265cc, placed below the muscle (submuscular).

Every patient’s anatomy and goals are different, so implant selection and surgical planning are personalized during a consultation. Individual results vary and a consultation is required to determine candidacy.

Mohs surgery result: restoring function and natural facial anatomy.

This patient was treated by Dr. Weyer, Board-Certified Dermatologist and Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgeon, for a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the right alar groove (the crease on the side of the nose).

What is basal cell carcinoma?
BCC is the most common type of skin cancer. It typically grows slowly and often appears as a spot that does not heal, a scaly patch, or a pearly bump. While it rarely spreads, it can continue to grow and damage nearby skin and structures if left untreated.

This week’s follow up visit turned into something really special. 💕

The patient featured in the March 2026 International Journal of Dermatology “Surgical Pearls” article asked Dr. Weyer to sign the journal cover she printed and brought with her. He was truly touched by the gesture.

The publication features DPSAZ physicians Dr. Christopher Weyer and Dr. Marco Swanson and shares a three-stage repair of a complex full thickness alar rim defect, with technique focused on supporting the rim and maintaining airflow. Dr. Swanson’s medical illustrations guide readers through each stage of reconstruction and highlight how thoughtful planning supports both functional and cosmetic outcomes.

We are proud of our physicians for contributing to the dermatology community, and we are especially grateful for patients who trust us with their care and remind us why the details matter.
