Even if it is a physician conducting a cosmetic procedure, patients should be made aware if dermatology or skin cancer treatment is outside of his or her training or specialty, says Lloyd Krieger, M.D., medical director for Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, California "It is incumbent on the physician to explain to the patient what they are evaluating and able to treat and what they are not, because I don't think patients necessarily know that," he explains. "The patient may say 'I went into the room and I got undressed and I was seen by the doctor and I'm good.' But that's not really true if the physician only evaluated them for something like liposuction."
SCREENING STANDARD
Dr. Krieger's practice is taking a proactive approach to address the problem of overlooked skin cancers with an awareness and prevention program in which all patients receive skin cancer screenings. "I've found a number of skin lesions on my cosmetic patients which turned out to be malignant and we just decided to check all patients for suspicious skin lesions," Dr. Krieger says. "The Skin Cancer Awareness Program is just a way of formalizing that," he explains. "If someone's coming in for a blepharoplasty, for instance, it would be unusual to get them undressed for a total body screening for skin cancer, but that's what we're doing now."
