Skin Cancer Reconstruction at Lakeside ENT & Allergy

Receiving a skin cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and navigating the path forward, including what happens after the cancer is removed, adds another layer of complexity. Dr. Chelsea Obourn sees her skin cancer reconstruction patients at Lakeside ENT & Allergy in Canandaigua, NY, where she sees her functional and insurance-based patients. Her goal is to ensure that every patient moves forward not only cancer-free, but feeling whole and confident in their appearance.

About Skin Cancer

​

Skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma, is one of the most prevalent cancers today. It frequently occurs on sun-exposed skin, making the head and neck one of the most common sites for skin cancer to develop. Certain genetic conditions and a history of immunotherapy can also predispose an individual to developing skin cancer.

Dr. Obourn's Role in Your Care

​

Dr. Obourn has spent an extensive amount of time treating patients with skin cancer of the head and neck. Her involvement typically includes resecting the lesion directly and/or working collaboratively with Mohs surgeons, dermatologists specially trained in the Mohs technique, who remove the cancer with precision. Following cancer removal, Dr. Obourn performs the reconstruction, specializing in restoring large defects of the head and neck in a cosmetically thoughtful and natural-looking way.
