Millions of people are treated for skin cancer each year in the U.S., and thankfully, most survive. Skin cancer may be more common than other types of cancer, but it is also easier to detect. Any odd growth or change in a mole should be examined by a physician. If treatment is needed, the lesion may need to be removed. Dr. Christine Blaine and our team at Blaine Plastic Surgery offer cosmetic repair for patients who have gone through skin cancer treatment, as well as skin cancer removal, at our clinics in New York.

Mohs surgery is the most common and effective option for removing skin cancer lesions. The process involves removing the cancerous lesion by taking away thin layers around the lesion and looking at them under a microscope. If there are any cancer cells, another layer is removed until there are no cancer cells. This method of skin cancer treatment is very effective, but it can leave a large “hole” in the skin and tissue. Dr. Blaine provides Mohs repair surgery to improve the appearance and minimize any scarring.

Cancer Lesion Removal

For those who are not candidates for Mohs surgery, Dr. Blaine can also surgically excise certain cancerous lesions in whole and repair the defect immediately afterward. These could be a small mole or lesion that can be surgically removed without the need for using the Mohs technique. Dr. Blaine can use her expertise to remove the lesion and leave the area with a minimal scar using plastic surgery techniques.

If you have been diagnosed with skin cancer, the most important goal is to ensure it is properly removed and treated to prevent any spread. However, if you need a larger skin lesion removed and are concerned with the cosmetic effects of the needed treatment, contact us at Blaine Plastic Surgery for a consultation. We have locations in NYC, Staten Island and Huntington, NY.

On March 10, 2025 the Long Island Beauty Awards delivered a night straight out of a dream. Guests arrived in breathtaking custom gowns, gliding across the Pink Carpet for live interviews before stepping into a cocktail room transformed into an ethereal white wonderland. Twinkling branches cast a soft glow over the VIP Lounge, where Cynosure Lutronic, presented by Permanent Touch Cosmetics, showcased their AccuFit technology on a jaw-droppingly gorgeous model.

Elite sponsors—including Revision Skincare, CoolPeel by Cartessa, and Galderma—networked with beauty’s best, as industry leaders sipped cocktails and toasted to excellence. The ballroom? Pure Old Hollywood romance. Draped in elegance, it was unrecognizable as Crest Hollow Country Club. Winners, finalists, and Beauty Council members took center stage, accepting stunning crystal awards before hitting the dance floor with DJ Ivan from Drive Up DJs.

From dazzling décor to top-tier industry connections, the evening was a flawless fusion of luxury, innovation, and celebration—one that will be talked about until next year’s awards!
