Mohs surgery wound healing

Skin cancer surgical defects in certain locations on the nose can heal with a nice cosmetic result. These locations include smaller defects of the tip of the nose, the ala or "wing" of the nose and in some cases, the nasal sidewall. If a reconstruction is required, I usually will elect to go with a flap rather than a graft, to achieve better skin matching.

Although it can take up to several weeks to heal in, a wound that is left to heal by "secondary intention" often looks better than you might have thought.

Good luck.
