Mohs Reconstructive Surgery

The diagnosis of skin cancer can be emotionally traumatic, and feeling like yourself during and after treatment may be a big factor in your journey to recovery. Mohs reconstructive surgery is performed after a Mohs procedure, to help rebuild the facial features your cancer has affected around the nose, lips or tissue around your eyes.

Our goal is to help you become comfortable with your appearance after skin cancer. When skin cancer has been completely removed, reconstructive options will be discussed with you. Our Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery team is able to rebuild your features using complex, proven and customized techniques.

What to expect

At your first visit, you will consult with your surgeon to discuss concerns and goals with reconstruction. We will answer any questions you may have about what is involved with your surgery or surgeries, what recovery is like, realistic expectations of outcome, and more. You'll leave the consultation fully informed to make the best decision for you.
