This 44-year-old patient underwent Mohs surgery to remove a skin cancer lesion near her upper lip. In the before photo, stitches are visible, highlighting the fresh surgical scar. Six weeks later, the after photo shows a remarkable improvement in the scar's appearance. The area has healed well, with a softened scar that blends more naturally into the surrounding skin. This case demonstrates the effective healing and aesthetic improvement possible with post-surgical scar management.

This lovely patient had an unfortunate skin cancer of the lower lip. After her Dermatologist removed the lesion she was left with a fairly large defect of the lip. We were able to quickly repair and reconstruct her lip and we are all so happy with how well she's been healing at 2 months out from surgery.

Skin cancer reconstruction:Recently, I had the pleasure of seeing a patient back for her one-month follow-up after performing facial reconstruction following Mohs surgery for skin cancer on her cheek.Initially hesitant due to her age and other medical concerns, she ultimately chose to undergo treatment. She shared a heartwarming story about a special trip she took with her grandchildren after quickly recovering from surgery and expressed how grateful she was to have this issue resolved, allowing her to focus on lifes precious moments.Skin cancer is more prevalent than many realize, but when treated early, it often has the best outcomes. As a facial plastic surgeon, I frequently collaborate with dermatologists to ensure the cancer is fully removed and perform reconstruction promptly thereafter. This partnership ensures that every patient receives the best possible care. I am immensely grateful to my patients and our collaborative team for the opportunity to provide this level of care and support.

Mohs Reconstruction: Restoring Beauty and Health after Skin Cancer ResectionOur latest success story showcases the remarkable transformation of this sweet woman who was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on her left nasal tip.Cancer can be an overwhelming adversary, impacting not only ones health but also self-confidence and appearance. Once removed and cured, the defect can be emotionally devastating. This case highlights the dual challenges faced by our patient.Utilizing the advanced technique of Mohs reconstruction, our dermatology colleagues delicately removed the cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. Her preference was the quickest recovery with the least amount of at-home care. Sometimes a paramedian forehead flap can be used for these with excellent results, but it comes at a cost of 2-3 stages of reconstruction. Instead, we were able to reconstruct the nose with local skin flaps in the office, ensuring long-lasting results and minimal downtime.
