Dermatologic Surgery Approach

-
Lesion Diagnosis, ensuring a thorough evaluation of the lesion in question, whether it's skin cancer, a benign growth, or a suspicious mole, to develop an effective treatment plan.
-
Review of Treatment Options, recognizing that surgery isn’t always the right choice. Patient input is deeply valued, and Dr. Lewinson ensures a comprehensive discussion of alternative treatments. He explains procedure details thoroughly, empowering patients to make informed decisions.
-
Surgical Planning, utilizing anatomical knowledge and advanced techniques to ensure the complete removal of the lesion while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
-
Reconstruction, incorporating a deep understanding of skin, muscle, and tissue mechanics to plan and implement reconstructive procedures that optimize healing, symmetry, and skin function.
-
Post-Operative Care, Scar Management, Future Monitoring, and Prevention, focusing on personalized aftercare plans to promote healing and reduce scarring, regular monitoring to ensure successful outcomes, and preventive strategies to lower the risk of recurrence or future issues.
By integrating these components, Dr. Lewinson provides personalized surgical plans that address the root issues, ensuring patients receive effective, targeted results while minimizing unnecessary interventions and recovery time.
