Description

Australia has the highest melanoma rates in the world, and with around seventy per cent of melanomas appearing on highly visible areas like the face, head and neck, many patients' needing life-saving cancer surgery, are left with initial disfigurement as well as impaired vision, breathing, speech or facial movement after. Reconstructive procedures are critical to restoring these essential functions, from blinking to protect the eye, to nasal airflow for breathing, and facial movement for speech and expression.
