Mohs Reconstruction
After Mohs micrographic surgery is performed to remove skin cancer, patients are often left with visible defects—especially on cosmetically and functionally sensitive areas such as the face, nose, eyelids, lips, or ears. Mohs reconstruction is a critical step in the treatment journey, aimed at restoring both appearance and function. In our team, Mohs reconstruction is performed by a double board-certified plastic surgeon, expertly trained in both general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery. This advanced training allows for meticulous repair techniques that go beyond simply closing a wound—we focus on preserving facial harmony, minimizing scarring, and restoring normal tissue movement and function. Every reconstruction is customized based on the size, location, and depth of the surgical defect, as well as the patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals. Techniques may include local tissue rearrangement, skin grafts, or complex flap reconstructions. Our plastic surgeon works closely with the Mohs surgeon to ensure optimal timing and coordination, often performing reconstruction immediately after cancer removal to streamline care and maximize results.
