Patient Details

Eyelid and Cheek Reconstruction 11

This 69 year old gentleman had a large squamous cell cancer of his right cheek that was also involving his underlying parotid saliva gland. Dr. Amit Bhrany removed the cancer by resecting the surrounding skin and a portion of his parotid saliva gland (parotidectomy). He then reconstructed the cheek wound by advancing and rotating skin from the patient's neck into the defect, similar to performing a neck and facelift (cervicofacial flap). The patient is shown 4 months post-operative.
