  • Skin
  • Fatty tissues
  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Nerves
  • Organs
  • Lymph nodes

Soft Tissue Surgery involves operating on the soft tissues of the body (muscles, skin, connective tissue, fat, etc.) to treat tumors, cysts, infections, injuries, or other abnormalities.

Together, Tumor Removal & Soft Tissue Surgery ensures:

  • Removal of harmful or suspicious growths
  • Prevention of cancer spread
  • Relief from pain or pressure
  • Restoration of normal function
  • Improved cosmetic appearance
