Skin Cancer Treatment: Cheek

Skin cancers of the cheek are unfortunately common because the cheeks are readily exposed to sun. Usually, the amount of skin laxity and various layers of skin allow for multiple options for closure of these defects. However, because there is little wrinkles in the cheek area, incisions are harder to hide and unsightly scars easily visible.
