Your Experience
Before
Before your advanced skin reconstruction procedure, you’ll have a detailed consultation with your provider at Seaside Dermatology. During this meeting, you’ll discuss the specifics of your skin defect and review your reconstruction options. Your provider will explain the planned approach and address any questions or concerns you may have. Additionally, you’ll receive pre-operative instructions, including any necessary preparations or lifestyle adjustments. A local anesthetic will be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
During
Your provider will carefully assess the defect and determine the best method for reconstruction. They may use techniques like skin grafts, where healthy skin is taken from another part of your body and transplanted to cover the defect, or local flaps, where nearby tissue is repositioned to fill the gap. The surgeon will then align and secure the skin using sutures or adhesives.
After
After the procedure, you’ll receive detailed post-operative care instructions to aid in your recovery. Pain management is usually handled with acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and you should keep the wound clean and bandaged as directed. Full results, including the final outcome, become visible within several months as the skin continues to heal and settle. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
