In this beautiful, sun-drenched Arizona landscape, it’s very important to properly protect yourself from the sun. Excess exposure to the sun’s rays can lead to the development of skin cancer. If you have a suspicious lesion, spot, or mole on your skin, it is important to see a skin cancer specialist immediately.

Recovery After Skin Cancer Excision & Reconstruction
Skin cancer is much less dangerous if caught and treated early. Our specialists at Regency Specialties treat all types of skin cancer and are happy to help you.
You’ll meet with one of our specialists to examine the lesion, discuss your medical history, and determine the best course of treatment. We will explain the procedure in detail and answer all your questions.
The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia. The area will be numbed, and you will be comfortable and awake. Our team will ensure your safety and comfort throughout the process.
The surgeon will carefully remove the skin cancer as planned. Once the cancer is fully removed, the surgeon will begin the reconstruction phase to close the wound and restore a natural appearance.
Recovery varies depending on the size and location of the excision. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. We will provide detailed instructions on caring for the surgical site, including cleaning and dressing changes.
Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.
Ideal candidates for skin cancer excision and reconstruction are individuals who have been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the surgical outcome. A consultation with our specialists will determine if this is the right treatment for your specific case.
The cost of skin cancer excision and reconstruction in Phoenix can vary widely, ranging from approximately $1,500 to over $10,000. The final price depends on the type and size of the cancer, the complexity of the excision (e.g., standard vs. Mohs), the extent of the reconstruction required, and anesthesia fees.
The excision portion is typically covered by health insurance, while reconstruction may be partially or fully covered depending on your plan. We will provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation.
