Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Surgery (NMSC)

Unfortunately New Zealand has among the highest international rates of facial skin cancer due to our increased exposure of UV radiation. The most common forms of skin cancer are Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) which are usually curable with surgical excision.

Our surgeons are specifically trained in the management of skin cancer of the face, with an emphasis on aesthetic reconstruction. As maxillofacial surgeons trained in facial plastic surgical techniques, they also provide a broad range of reconstructive options which may involve local skin flaps or skin grafts.
