Skin Cancer Reconstruction

Mohs Surgery in Farmington & Hartford

Learning that you have a skin cancer can be difficult news. When it is in a cosmetically sensitive area on your face, preserving normal tissue and restoring a natural appearance is imperative. This can be done with standard excision or Mohs resection. Closure is then performed by Dr. Seeley who is a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

The size and location of the defect will dictate the recommended closure and repair. The general principle of closure is to borrow extra, unnecessary tissue from other similar or nearby locations. All layers of the defect and all tissue types that are removed must be replaced. Skin grafts and cartilage grafts harvested from other regions of the head and neck or body are often necessary. For defects of the nose, multiple surgeries may be necessary to provide optimal results. Generally, the closure can be done under local anesthesia or conscious sedation.

Repair of facial cancer defects that have been created using the Mohs technique often utilize healthy adjacent skin flaps or skin grafts. Large facial cancers occasionally need to be repaired using free tissue transfer, ie skin, muscle, and/or bone from a different part of the body brought to fill the facial defect.

Dr. Seeley is a board certified facial plastic surgeon who performs an abundant number of Moh’s procedures.  His skills in repairing a facial defect are second to none.

As a nurse working in healthcare I know firsthand how important the relationship is between a healthcare provider and their patient. Dr. Seeley goes above and beyond to ensure both the patient and their families feel comfortable and that their needs are being met. Dr. Seeley is an immensely skilled physician that I recommend to my family, friends and patients in need of ENT services, cosmetic or otherwise. I feel blessed that I found Dr. Seeley, he is truly the BEST!!

After years of dealing with congestion I finally made an appointment with Dr. Seeley in May. He was kind, friendly and knowledgeable from the minute I met him. In September Dr. Seeley and his team preformed the balloon sinuplasty procedure on me, which has been successful! Even though I struggled a bit with the procedure, they were so gentle and kind throughout. Follow ups have been great and quick and the whole team is friendly and nice. I actually enjoy coming in to my appointments! Thank you Dr. Seeley and team!!

Had surgery on September 15th...from the onset I was kept informed of the process and procedures. The office staff are great. Dr. Seeley is great and provided me with all my options for making an informed decision. The surgical center staff are great and greeted me warmly in morning when my nerves was elevated. A great experience considering....Highly recommend.

My experience going to see Dr. Brook Seeley and getting a procedure was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had! From his staff at the desk, to Kim the coordinator, all the way up to Dr. Seelwy himself, I had a great experience even though I was so nervous and not knowing what to expect. He was so beyond professional, kind, friendly, and took all the time in the world to explain everything step by step, answering each and every one of my questions, and not pushing me to get the procedure or any of that fluff that other doctors do. It was an amazing experience. Thank you Dr. Seeley.
