What Makes
Dr. Rachel an Expert in Skin Cancer Reconstruction?
Choosing to have reconstructive surgery after skin cancer treatment or facial trauma is an important step in the healing process. Many patients, after the trauma dealing with cancer or trauma, go on to experience further discomfort and self-consciousness due to facial scarring. Skin cancer removal surgery and trauma can often leave unattractive and sometimes very deep scars or facial deformities. In seeking a surgeon to perform reconstruction, it is critical to find the right provider.
Dr. John Rachel is a quadruple board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Chicago, IL, who specializes in facial reconstruction. With his experience and skill, he can artfully repair the integrity of your facial skin by concealing small or large areas of tissue loss, as well as removing or reducing the appearance of scar tissue.

Surgical Techniques
for Skin Cancer Reconstruction
Skin cancer surgery is highly individualized, and depending on the wound(s) can involve a skin graft, local flaps, adjacent tissue transfer, stitching, or surgical closure. It is possible that you may need to have surgeries in stages, depending on the complexity or severity of your reconstruction.
What to Expect
During Skin Cancer Reconstruction Recovery
Protecting your skin from sun exposure is also crucial, so you will need to use sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat to shade your face. The results of your reconstructive surgery should begin to be visible within 2 – 3 weeks. You will look and feel better each day as your incisions heal, and patients typically see their ultimate outcome after about six months. However, it is important to remember that scars can remodel for a year or more.
