MOHS Surgery can remove skin cancer layer by layer, avoiding large, unsightly scars.
Skin cancer resection that leaves an open wound
MOHS, or micrographic surgery, is a procedure used to remove common forms of skin cancer such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. This procedure removes not only the tumor on the surface of the skin, but any roots below the skin as well. This ensures a complete removal of the tumor and helps prevent cancer from recurring; however, MOHS surgeries often result in irregularly shaped, deep wounds that require a special attention to detail in order to repair, especially as the majority of them occur on the face. These deformities can be emotionally upsetting and a constant reminder of the skin cancer that once existed there. Our surgeons are particularly adept at approaching these wounds with both creativity and repeated experience to ensure optimal healing and minimizing any alteration to your appearance.
