Delaware Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

These are the characteristics of skin damage that doctors look for when diagnosing and classifying melanomas.
Asymmetry – Melanoma is often asymmetrical, so the shape isn’t uniform.
Border – Melanoma often has edges that aren’t well defined or are irregular in shape.
Color – Melanoma lesions are often more than one color or shade. Benign moles are typically one color.
Diameter – Melanoma growths usually are more extensive than 6mm in diameter, which is about the diameter of a standard pencil.
Evolution – Melanoma will often change characteristics, such as size, shape or color. Unlike most benign moles, melanoma tends to change over time.
If you have a mole or skin growth, watch it for signs of changes. If you notice any of the ABCDEs of melanoma, make an appointment right away to be evaluated.

For some women, self-love means embracing their bodies just as they are. But for others, self-love means taking the first step towards affecting positive change in their appearance through the power of plastic surgery. Either of these approaches is healthy as long as the person acts true to their values and desires and doesn’t feel pressured by someone else.
