Mohs surgery removes cancer layer by layer with microscopic analysis, ensuring complete removal while preserving healthy tissue, especially critical for facial or high-risk tumors.
Patients with high-risk, recurrent, aggressive, or facial skin cancers benefit most. The technique maximizes cure rates, minimizes tissue loss, and preserves both function and appearance.
By examining 100% of tissue margins in real time, Mohs ensures hidden cancer roots are removed, dramatically reducing recurrence while maintaining surrounding healthy skin.
Performed outpatient, patients remain awake with minimal discomfort. Each excised layer undergoes microscopic evaluation, guiding removal until margins are clear, followed by immediate reconstruction if needed.
Most cases are completed within a few hours, depending on lesion complexity. Complex or recurrent tumors may require additional layers, so a full day is often reserved.
Post-surgical care includes wound monitoring, minimal lifting or straining, and follow-up visits for stitch removal. Discomfort is usually mild and manageable with standard pain relief.
Can Mohs surgery be performed on delicate areas like the face?
Through personalized monitoring plans, routine skin exams, patient education, advanced imaging, and proactive risk assessment to detect recurrence early and maintain both function and aesthetics.
Depending on tumor type, location, or patient health, excisional surgery, electrosurgery, or radiation therapy may be options, but Mohs remains the gold standard for high-risk cases.
Board-certified specialists combine surgical mastery, advanced imaging, evidence-based protocols, and personalized care to maximize cure rates, preserve tissue, and ensure optimal long-term cosmetic and functional outcomes.
