Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. Lesions may appear as non-healing sores or bumps on the face or neck.

Large defects may be left in the face after skin cancer removal. Simple closure of these defects may lead to disfiguring distortion of the normal facial features as well as potential functional problems.

Dr. Sidle’s expertise in a number of facial reconstructive techniques, such as grafts and flaps obtained from the patient’s own body, allows him to treat these defects in a manner that maximizes the cosmetic and functional outcome.

What is rhinophyma?

Rhinophyma is a benign condition of the nasal skin that results in abnormal growth and enlargement of the nose. While this is not cancerous, it results in a reddened, “bumpy” appearance of the nose that can be highly disfiguring. The etiology of this condition is multifactorial, but it is thought to represent advanced-stage rosacea that occurs in a minority of patients. However, while rosacea is more common in women, rhinophyma predominantly affects men.

The condition results in dilated blood vessels, chronic swelling and inflammation, and an increased number of sebaceous glands in the nose. This makes the nose appear reddened, thickened, and bulbous. There may also be prominent blood vessels and abnormal pitting and scarring of the skin. Alcohol and caffeine can exacerbate this condition. To know more about this procedure visit Rhinophyma page.

Overly protruding ears or “lop ears” can be a source of teasing and self-confidence problems for children and adults. Through a simple operation, called otoplasty (or ear pinning), the shape and position of the ear can be modified to create a normal appearance.

How Dr. Sidle performs Ear pinning surgery?

Dr. Sidle’s incision for the procedure is hidden behind the ear. The shape of the cartilage is changed through cartilage reshaping and the placement of sutures. To know more about this procedure visit this page Otoplasty (Ear Pinning Surgery) Chicago, IL

For Neck Fat, Consider a “Weekend Facelift” or Necklift

Excess pockets of fat on areas of the face and neck beneath the chin can be removed through Facial Suction Lipectomy (Liposuction). Liposuction is performed by inserting a special blunt instrument, known as a cannula, beneath the skin through a tiny incision.

The incisions are usually located below the chin or just behind the ear lobes and are particularly well hidden. The unwanted fat cells are then removed. To know more about this procedure visit this page Neck Lift & Neck Fat Removal Chicago

What are the different types of hair loss and options to address them?

Diffuse Hair Loss or Thinning

The balding patterns in women differ from those in men; therefore, different procedures are often indicated to address concerns in women versus men. In women, most commonly a diffuse thinning pattern is seen, usually worse at the top and sides of the scalp. Wigs or hairpieces are often used to address diffuse hair loss or thinning. 

In some patients, hair transplantation can be implemented to increase hair density in an inconspicuous fashion using a patient’s own, naturally growing hair. Another pattern of hair loss that may be seen in both women and men is loss of hair in the temples as a result of poorly-executed incisions during a facelift. Hair transplantation can often be utilized in this scenario to improve the thickness and appearance of hair in the temples, as well as help camouflage a visible incision.
