Skin cancer, facial and nasal reconstruction

Skin cancer is the fastest rising and most common type of cancer in the UK. Facial reconstruction and nasal reconstruction can help restore your appearance after the removal of any cancerous skin lesions.

Skin cancer specialists delivering exceptional results

Beverley Hospital’s practice focuses on facial skin cancers, particularly basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and the reconstruction needed to restore both appearance and function once a lesion has been removed. Our well-regarded expert in skin cancer, Daniel Saleh, is affiliated with the specialist skin cancer team at Newcastle Hospitals Trust, and provides services across the North of England. His primary focus is on delivering exceptional care and achieving optimal aesthetic results.

He played a pivotal role in establishing the regional head, neck, and face sentinel lymph node service and receives national referrals for intricate cases of skin cancer affecting these areas, as well as for post-cancer facial reconstruction. This is particularly true for nasal reconstructions, where patients often prefer autologous (natural tissue) methods over prosthetics, or when the use of prosthetics is not feasible. Mr Saleh is acknowledged as a leading expert in nasal reconstruction, and he and his team have delivered lectures both nationally and internationally on skin cancer topics.

Why choose our skin cancer experts

Choosing where to have a suspicious lesion assessed, or where to be treated for one that has already been diagnosed, matters both for peace of mind and for the outcome. At Beverley Hospital, this is reflected in several aspects of how the service is delivered:

  • Access to top consultant plastic surgeons for expert treatment
  • Immediate consultation and treatment appointments, including dermoscopy (skin magnification), assessment, and minor surgical procedures under local anaesthetic
  • A dedicated multi-disciplinary team focused on skin cancer management
  • Optional therapies to support healing and minimise facial scarring
  • Follow-up appointments for skin cancer in accordance with national guidelines

Nasal reconstruction

Mr Saleh has built a reputable nasal reconstructive practice, receiving referrals from both national and international teams. His primary patient groups include individuals with nasal deformities resulting from skin cancer excision, those with post-granulomatous disease (PGA) that has resolved, and patients experiencing nasal collapse and perforation due to cocaine abuse. This latter group is expanding rapidly alongside the increasing recreational use of intra-nasal substances.

We collaborate closely with ENT specialists, including Mr Mohammed El-Badawey, to ensure optimal outcomes for patients.

If you are an NHS patient facing a nasal reconstructive issue, please ask your GP or treating physician to forward any referrals, along with relevant blood tests and scans, to Tracy.longworth@nhs.net.

Benefits of skin cancer reconstruction surgery

Colour and texture-matched reconstruction

Using the patient’s own tissue, typically from the forehead, gives a closer match to natural nasal skin than a prosthetic can achieve.

Two patient pathways under one specialist

Post-cancer nasal deformity and substance-related nasal collapse are both seen and treated by the same experienced team, rather than being split across generalist services.

National and international referral experience

A high volume of complex cases, including revision work following surgery performed elsewhere, supports familiarity with a wide range of nasal defects.

Close ENT collaboration

Cases affecting both the nasal structure and airway function are managed jointly with ENT specialists where needed.

Discuss with an expert skin cancer surgeon

If you have a skin lesion you’re concerned about, or you’ve already been referred for nasal reconstruction, speaking directly with a specialist is the most useful next step.

Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you understand your options and achieve your aesthetic goals.

What can I expect when
choosing The Beverley

Initial consultation

At The Beverley Hospital, your health and well-being are our top priorities. Your experience begins with an initial consultation where our experienced plastic and cosmetic surgery specialists take the time to understand your needs. This allows us to create a personalised plan that caters to you, and ensures we can provide the highest level of safety and care throughout your treatment.

Diagnosis and treatment planning

Your first face-to-face meeting at the clinic is an important step where you will be warmly welcomed by our team. During this visit, you’ll discuss your personalised plan in detail and have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have. We want you to feel comfortable and informed about every aspect of your care journey with us.

Day of treatment

Many skin lesion procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic as a day case. More complex reconstructive procedures may require a general anaesthetic and, depending on complexity, an overnight stay. You’ll be given clear guidance on which applies to you well before the day itself.

Follow-up

You’ll be seen again to check healing and discuss results. Ongoing follow-up for skin cancer is provided in line with national clinic guidelines to monitor for recurrence over the appropriate period.

Where you can find our hospital

You will find us in the serene, leafy surroundings of the Team Valley, immediately next to the A1 for access. We have ample free parking, and excellent connectivity to public transport.

Many of our patients travel from afar, and our dedicated concierge service can be arranged to transport you to the hospital from the nearby Newcastle airports and rail links.

Skin cancer, facial and nasal reconstruction Patient

Mr Saleh is an extremely talented facial plastic surgeon and I am delighted with the outcome

I was very anxious following an initial facial skin cancer diagnosis and consulted Mr Saleh for a second opinion. Mr Saleh immediately put my mind at ease being extremely professional, calm and personable.

He took time to explain the various treatment options, leaving me feeling reassured that we were following the optimum treatment plan for my condition. Day surgery was scheduled and carried out under local anaesthetic, throughout which Mr Saleh ensured I was comfortable and kept fully informed about the procedure. I felt no pain, was very relaxed and went home later that day. Since then, I have had a follow appointment with Mr Saleh to check on the wound and am delighted with how successfully it has healed. Mr Saleh is an extremely talented facial plastic surgeon and I am delighted with the outcome as it has in no way detracted from my appearance. I recommend Mr Saleh and his team most highly.
