When you are a national beauty expert, television personality, and the Senior Editor-at-Large for NewBeauty magazine, your face is quite literally your livelihood.
So, when Sarah Eggenberger was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer (morpheaform basal cell carcinoma) right on her face, the stakes couldn't have been higher. She didn't just need the cancer gone; she needed a surgical team that could guarantee complete removal without leaving a disfiguring scar that might end her on-camera career.
To ensure the best possible outcome, Sarah flew into Vero Beach to trust her care to Dr. Alan Durkin and the team at Ocean Drive Dermatology. We are thrilled to report that she is now cancer-free with a beautiful, scarless result.
Sharing the Journey on Good Day LA
Sarah’s journey was so remarkable that she recently invited Dr. Durkin to join her in Los Angeles on the set of FOX 11’s Good Day LA. They shared her story with millions of viewers to raise awareness about skin cancer detection and the importance of choosing the right surgeon for facial procedures.
The Ocean Drive Difference: Aesthetics Meets Oncology
In the segment above, Sarah opens up about the initial shock of her diagnosis—having initially mistaken the cancer for a simple age spot and the very real fear of what surgical removal might look like.
For Dr. Durkin, Sarah’s case perfectly highlights the core philosophy of our practice: treating skin cancer shouldn't just be about removing the tumor; it must be about restoring the patient.
"The goal with basal and squamous cell carcinomas is your best result, not just removing the least amount of tissue," Dr. Durkin explains.
Many patients worry they have to choose between being cancer-free and looking like themselves. At Ocean Drive Dermatology, we bridge that gap. By harmonizing the meticulous principles of oncologic cancer removal with the refined techniques of aesthetic plastic surgery, we strive to ensure every patient walks away with an uncompromised aesthetic outcome.
A Flawless Result
Today, Sarah has returned to her work in front of the national camera with confidence. We are incredibly grateful to her for using her vast platform to share this vital message: you do not have to compromise your appearance to cure your skin cancer.
