Skin cancer, facial & nasal reconstruction

Our specialist skin lesion service provides a consultant-led pathway for the assessment and surgical management of skin cancer affecting the face and nose. Care is delivered within a multidisciplinary framework to ensure both oncological safety and optimal reconstructive outcomes.

Our skin lesion service offers:

• Access to leading consultant plastic surgeons for your treatment
• See and treat appointments where we assess the lesion using dermoscopy (a magnification of your skin), a skin assessment and local anaesthetic minor surgery for treatment
• Access to a multi-disciplinary team of specialists focussed on skin cancer care
• Therapies (where requested by you) to aid healing and conceal facial scarring as best as is possible
• Skin cancer follow-up appointments in line with national guidance

Mr Saleh has an established nasal reconstructive practice and receives referrals from teams nationally and internationally. The three main groups of patients are those who have a facial difference of the nose following skin cancer removal, agiopathic/granulomatus disease (PGA) that has settled, and post cocaine abuse noses with varying degrees of collapse and perforation in the nose. The latter group are -rapidly growing with the rapid increase in recreational use of Intra-nasal drugs.

He works closely with ENT colleagues, (Mr Mohammed El-Badawey) in many cases to get the best outcome for patients.

If you have a nasal reconstructive problem and are an NHS patient please ask your GP or treating doctor to send any referrals, with relevant blood tests and scans to Tracy.longworth@nhs.net
