Yes--: That's the kind of thing I do very frequently. Small skin cancers on the nose can be removed and reconstructed with local tissue giving an excellent cosmetic result.

Absolutely: Small or large we can remove them or work with a dermatologist and rebuild the nose after the cancer has been removed.
