About the Business
Welcome to Skin Cancer Surgery Brisbane, located at 1453 Logan Road in Mount Gravatt, Australia. Our institution is an establishment of health and a noteworthy point of interest in the area.
As Roman poet Persius once said, "Meet the malady on its way." At Skin Cancer Surgery Brisbane, we believe in the importance of prevention over cure. It is estimated that two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they reach the age of 70. However, skin cancer is easily preventable and can often be cured if detected early. That's why we highly recommend regular skin cancer checks.
During a skin cancer screening at our clinic, our experienced professionals will perform a thorough full body examination. This comprehensive approach allows us to identify any potential skin cancer lesions or abnormalities. It is crucial to catch skin cancer early, as most types can be successfully treated with proper intervention. Without treatment, skin cancer can be deadly.
There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and malignant melanoma (MM). Each type requires specific attention and treatment.
We understand that not all skin cancer cases require surgical intervention. Over the years, non-surgical treatment options have been developed for the relatively benign nature of non-melanoma skin cancers. These options include cryotherapy, topical fluorouracil and imiquimod creams, as well as photodynamic therapy with methyl aminolevulinate hydrochloride. In certain cases, radiotherapy can also be an excellent alternative to surgery.
Dermoscopy, also known as skin surface microscopy, is another tool we utilize at Skin Cancer Surgery Brisbane. It allows us to evaluate pigmented skin lesions and aids in the diagnosis of melanoma, especially in the hands of experienced professionals.
When surgery is needed, it is the most common and effective treatment option for skin cancer. Small skin growths can often be removed under local anesthesia or through a technique called curettage and electrocautery. Larger growths may require removal under general anesthesia, with the possibility of a skin graft or skin flap for reconstruction.
After surgery, most patients will go home the same day. Our staff will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the wound and dressing. If necessary, we can arrange for a district nurse to assist with dressing changes at home, or patients can return to the clinic for help.
Please be aware that all patients are required to sign a consent form before undergoing any surgical procedure at Skin Cancer Surgery Brisbane.
For our patients with Medicare and Veteran affairs cards, standard appointments with our Bulk Billing GPs will have no out-of-pocket costs in most cases, as it will be directly billed to Medicare. However, gap payments may be incurred for certain procedures. We encourage you to speak with your doctor or one of our receptionists for more information.
Certain individuals are more prone to developing skin cancer due to specific risk factors. These risk factors can vary for different types of skin cancer. Some general risk factors include having a history of excessive sun exposure, fair skin, a family history of skin cancer, and a weakened immune system.
In addition to skin cancer checks and surgery, we also offer services such as mole removal, skin tag removal, birthmark removal, milia removal, scar removal treatments, warts and verrucae removal, and facial thread veins removal.
If you are unsure if your procedure is covered by Medicare, our surgeons can help you understand if your reconstructive surgery is deemed essential and eligible for coverage.
At Skin Cancer Surgery Brisbane, your health and well-being are our top priorities. We strive to provide the highest quality care and comprehensive solutions to all your skin cancer needs. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or to learn more about our services.
