Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States with over 500,000 new cases reported each year. And the numbers keep rising. The majority of skin cancers, approximately 80 percent, appear on the face, head, or neck. They can be dangerous as well as disfiguring to a person.
Most skin cancers are removed surgically using local anesthesia. The procedure can be a simple excision that barely leaves any visible scars. At times, more complex removal may be needed at the same time as a complex reconstructive procedure.
Dr. Young is an experienced facial cosmetic surgeon, who is highly trained in skin cancer removal and Moh’s/skin cancer reconstruction. He can perform many surgeries from simple scar revision to complex transfer of tissue flaps, which accurately repairs damaged tissue and restores a natural, healthy appearance.
“My goal was to find a method to bring back a person’s natural youthfulness without the operated, unnatural look and that is why I have my patients bring in photos of them when they were age 5 to 30. My YoungVitalizer helps restore natural and youthful contours they haven’t seen in years.”
—Dr. Philip Young, Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon
