Reconstructive Surgery by Dr. Aicee Bernal

---

Skin cancer surgery removes cancerous or suspicious skin lesions with careful attention to appropriate margins, surrounding anatomy, and thoughtful wound reconstruction to achieve both effective treatment and the best possible functional and aesthetic outcome.

Breast reconstruction restores breast shape and symmetry after mastectomy or breast surgery, using techniques tailored to each patient’s anatomy to achieve natural-looking results while supporting both function and confidence.

Scar revision surgery improves the appearance, texture, and contour of prominent or poorly healed scars using techniques tailored to the scar and surrounding tissue, with the goal of creating a smoother, less noticeable scar.

Earlobe repair corrects torn, stretched, or enlarged earring holes and reshapes damaged earlobes to restore a natural contour and proportion, with careful scar placement for a discreet result.

Cleft lip surgery or cheiloplasty repairs the separation of the upper lip and restores lip shape, symmetry, muscle function, and nasal balance while aiming for natural growth and the least noticeable scar possible.

Cleft palate surgery or palatoplasty repairs the opening in the roof of the mouth to restore separation between the oral and nasal cavities, support normal speech and feeding, and promote healthy facial development.

Skin grafting surgery uses healthy skin from another area of the body to cover wounds, burns, or areas of tissue loss, restoring protective skin coverage while aiming for the best possible functional and aesthetic result.

Flap surgery uses a patient’s own tissue to reconstruct or restore areas affected by tissue loss, including breast reconstruction (TRAM flap, Latissimus Dorsi Flap), with the goal of achieving durable coverage, natural contour, and good function.

Myelomeningocele surgery repairs and closes congenital spinal defect while protecting exposed neural tissue and surrounding structures, with careful reconstruction of the soft tissues to support healing and function.
