Reconstructive Surgery?
Reconstructive surgery is another form of plastic surgery, it is function over form.
The objective of this surgery is to either improve function and or to provide the normal appearance to a part of the person’s body that has been injured. It is not so much what it looks like but rather what it does, and is necessitated by health requirements.

Non-surgical
The best time to treat a scar is as soon as possible, so don’t delay.
Wound support with tape or silicone dressing (CICA-CARE) is effective.
Creams and scar oils used once the wound has healed must have Vitamin A and C in them to be effective, and protection from the sun must be enforced for over a year.
In some instances, steroid injections will help with overactive scar production.

Dr Erasmus has many years experience with a wide variety of defects ranging from hand injuries, soft tissue injuries to full-thickness burns.
Experience gained over the years working in state hospitals and burn units such as the Red Cross Children’s Hospital is never forgotten.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column align=”center” width=”5/12″][ish_image image=”2718″ bottom_margin=”half”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/12″][vc_row_inner vertical_align=”middle”][vc_column_inner align=”left” width=”1/1″][vc_column_text align=”left” bottom_margin=”none”]
Skin Cancer
Because of sun damage during particularly childhood and poor sun protection, South Africans are prone to developing skin lesions and cancers that are removed by Dr Erasmus.
South Africans have an outdoor culture that predisposes us to develop skin cancers both melanoma and non-melanoma, and particularly on our faces. Primarily the aim is to remove the lesion or lesions, but using trusted techniques to cover the defects minimises the scars and deformations.

A child born with a defect is fortunately not aware of it as its parents are.
