Dr. Verne Weisberg, founder and owner of The Plastic Surgery Center, encourages readers to find out as much as possible and share information about Melanoma cancers since this is currently the best way to improve outcomes.

Portland, ME, June 7, 2016: Owner and Founder of The Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Verne Weisberg posted a new article on his website entitled, “Sharing Melanoma Information Can Lead to Early Detection and Prevention.” As Dr. Weisberg states at the end of his article, “the best strategy for improving Melanoma diagnoses outcomes right now is prevention and early detection.”

 Weisberg begins respectfully, writing, “In honor of Melanoma Skin Cancer Prevention month I am posting information from the Melanoma Research Alliance in order to get the news out about this life-threatening cancer in hopes of leading to prevention, early detection and eventually a cure.”

Extending an invitation to learn more, Weisberg states, “I invite you to visit the Melanoma Research Alliance website at http://www.curemelanoma.org/about-melanoma/ and read about Melanoma in greater depth. If you don’t visit their website, please read and share what you learn here with your family, friends and loved ones.”

Weisberg shares facts and figures from the Melanoma Research Alliance site one of which is the following. “The ability to spread widely to other parts of the body is a unique characteristic of melanoma that the other more common skin cancers, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, rarely possess. This characteristic makes melanoma the deadliest of all skin cancers.”

About Dr. Weisberg

Dr. Verne Weisberg is board certified with two surgical specialties. His first board certification is in otolaryngology (ENT), after three years of training at the prestigious Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Dr. Weisberg was then privileged to complete his plastic surgical residency at Yale University, after which he was invited to join the faculty. While a resident at Yale, Dr. Weisberg spent several months at New York University Medical Center and Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital where he studied aesthetic surgery. In 1987, Dr. Weisberg was appointed Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic) by Yale University, where he taught the general surgery and plastic surgery residents. During that time, he developed a love for clinical practice and cosmetic surgery, especially after having developed the first university-based aesthetic surgery practice on his own.

For more than 26 years, Dr. Weisberg has developed the premier Aesthetic Surgical Practice in northern New England. As a double-boarded surgeon, he is uniquely trained in all aspects of facial plastic surgery with a special interest in rhinoplasty, both primary and revisional, as well as face-lifting. Dr. Weisberg enjoys performing the full variety of aesthetic plastic surgery, especially body contouring after weight loss as well as breast augmentation and lifting.
