It may not be the first benefit that people think about upon hearing the words “plastic surgery,” but reconstructive plastic surgery plays a large role in helping patients restore the structure and function of any part of the body. It can make a major difference in the lives of those with injuries, birth defects, or diseases like cancer.
Reconstructive plastic surgery uses surgical techniques that repair deformities at birth. It can also bring back the appearance of the body parts affected by accidents. Additionally, it is highly beneficial for people with skin cancer and breast cancer as well.
At Central Ohio Plastic Surgery, reconstructive plastic surgery is performed for breast cancer patients after mastectomy, for those with hand-related issues, for individuals in need of scar revision, and for skin cancer patients after removal of a lesion.

Scar Revision
Scars can be a source of anxiety. If your scars are bothering you, scar revision surgery is an option to help improve their appearance. Scar revision is performed at Central Ohio Plastic Surgery through silicone gel technology, laser treatments, or surgery. During the consultation, Dr. Lichten will assess the size and appearance of your scars to create a surgical plan that matches your scar.
Skin Cancer
Dr. Lichten works with dermatologists and primary care physicians to assist patients with skin cancer. He performs both the excision of the cancer and closure using advanced plastic surgery techniques. This is especially helpful for patients with larger skin cancers or lesions on cosmetically sensitive areas like the face. He also provides post-Mohs reconstructive surgery to restore a more natural look after skin cancer excision procedures.
