Surgery that is required after receiving treatment for cancer is known as head and neck cancer reconstructive surgery. Many cancers of the head and neck may involve the face, ears, nose, scalp, and even the mouth and glands of the face and neck area. A plastic surgeon who specializes in reconstructive surgery can achieve the best possible cosmetic and functional results for the patient after the cancer has been removed.

Skin Cancers and Lesions can affect changes in the skin. Look specifically for: moles that change size, color or shape; moles that bleed; a black or blue-black spot on the face or neck; sores that do not heal; a pale patch of skin that grows. Many people refer to a mole as any dark spot or irregularity in the skin, such as: Birthmarks, Abnormal formations of blood vessels (hemangiomas), Keratoses (benign or precancerous spots, which appear after about age 30 years).
