What If I Have Skin Cancer? Here’s How SARA Surgery Can Help

A skin cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. At SARA Surgery, we offer comprehensive support from early detection to expert surgical reconstruction—especially for areas where both form and function matter most.

Full-Body Skin Checks & Biopsies

Working with your dermatologist for early diagnosis is key. Scheduling regular checkups will help in early detection:

  • Full-body skin checks to evaluate suspicious moles, spots, or lesions
  • In-office biopsies to determine whether a lesion is benign or cancerous
  • Close monitoring of high-risk or previously treated areas

Whether it’s your first skin check or part of ongoing surveillance, we’re here to help you stay proactive and informed.

Coordinated MOHS Surgery & Expert Reconstruction

If you’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer—such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or another non-melanoma type—we work closely with leading area MOHS surgeons to ensure complete and precise removal of the cancer.

Once the cancer is removed, that’s where our expertise comes in. As a plastic and reconstructive surgical practice, we specialize in:

  • Closing defects in cosmetically sensitive areas like the face, eyelids, lips, ears, or hands
  • Minimizing scarring through layered closures, tissue rearrangement, and scar management protocols
  • Preserving function while restoring appearance

We’re not just closing a wound—we’re restoring confidence.

Choose SARA Surgery for Skin Cancer Reconstruction

At SARA, your care is personal and precise. You can expect:

  • Thorough evaluation and clear communication throughout the process
  • Collaborative planning with your dermatologist or MOHS surgeon
  • Tailored reconstructive solutions for optimal healing and aesthetics

We also provide follow-up scar care and laser treatments, if needed, to support long-term results.

Early Detection is the Best Cure

If you have concerns about a mole, spot, or previous skin cancer site—or if you’re simply due for a check—schedule an appointment with your dermatologist right away. Early action saves lives, and expert reconstruction makes all the difference.
