The dermatologist/Mohs surgeon did the surgery, harvested the graft, and left his PA to do the rest. I know that many PA's may be good at stitching. However, I have a hard time comparing a PA to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. If this is the routine procedure at this office, would I be better off seeking a surgeon who does his/her own stitching on the face? It seems to me to be more intricate than stitching up any other wound. My graft separated and migrated upward after stitches came out.
