What Is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the most advanced technique for removing skin cancer. It involves removing cancer layer by layer while examining each layer under a microscope in real time.

This ensures:

Complete cancer removal
Preservation of healthy tissue
The highest cure rate of any skin cancer treatment (up to 99%)

Mohs is most commonly used for:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your procedure is completed in stages during a single visit:

The visible tumor is removed
Tissue is examined under a microscope
Additional layers are removed only if needed
Once clear, reconstruction is performed immediately

Plan to be in the office for 2–6 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

Recovery and Results

After your procedure, it is normal to experience:

Mild swelling, redness, and tightness
Temporary numbness
Sutures that are typically removed within 1–2 weeks

Our same-day plastic surgery closure helps optimize both healing and appearance. Full scar healing continues over 9–12 months.
