The cost of your surgery will vary depending on the complexity of the of the case. The advantage of Mohs surgery is that when the surgery is done, you will know immediately that the surgeon has removed all the remaining tumor and this can be done with a 99% certainty in most Mohs cases.
Please be advised that with your initial excision, since it was not done by Mohs surgery, less than 1% margin examination was performed. Therefore, you are lucky that they did detect residual basal cell carcinoma, and this time around, Mohs surgery will be well worth the investment.
In addition, if your surgeon is Fellowship trained in Mohs surgery, they will also likely be experts in reconstruction and be able to repair the excision immediately with optimal cosmetic outcome.
