Skin Cancer and Facial Reconstructive Surgery

Maryland facial plastic surgeon Dr. David Martini diagnoses and treats facial skin cancer. He also addresses functional problems of the face, including visual disturbances caused by drooping eyelid and eyebrow skin, unattractive or deforming scars, and distorted external nasal appearance. Dr. Martini's goal is to restore your facial structures to good health and function, while returning your appearance to its pre-disease or pre-injury state.

Facial function is very important. Appearance is as well. Skin cancer can cause not only destruction of skin, and in some cases metastasis spread, but also have dramatic impact on appearance. Dr. Martini uses his training and experience both as a head and neck surgeon and a Facial Plastic Surgeon to minimize the effects of facial tumors. Not all facial skin lesions are cancer; some can be treated medically or closely observed.

We specialize in recognizing cancer symptoms, treatment and removal of tumors, and repair of skin cancer defects. The goal in every patient is to make repair after surgery invisible or at least well hidden with minimal ability to perceive. With prompt diagnosis and treatment, many skin cancers are curable.
