The Mohs Procedure:
What to Expect
Before Your Procedure
We’ll discuss your diagnosis, review the surgical plan, answer all your questions, and ensure you feel completely informed and comfortable. We’ll photograph and map the surgical site for our records.
During the Procedure
This procedure involves removing the visible skin cancer and a thin layer of surrounding tissue under local anesthesia. The removed tissue is carefully mapped, processed, and examined under a microscope to check all margins. If any cancer remains, only the affected areas are re-excised in additional stages, with short waiting periods between them. Once all margins are clear, reconstruction is performed using the most appropriate method—such as side-to-side closure, local flaps, or skin grafts—to restore both function and appearance.
After Your Procedure
Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, pain is typically minimal and well-controlled, and we’re available to answer questions throughout your recovery.
Our Commitment: Healing, Restoring, Empowering
We heal your cancer. We restore your confidence. We empower you with knowledge about prevention and surveillance.
We recognize that skin is everyday; it’s how you present yourself to the world and how you experience the world around you. When skin cancer threatens that, we don’t just treat the disease. We preserve your identity, protect your confidence, and ensure you can get back to living your life.
We're not just treating a diagnosis. We're treating you.
