WORTH IT
I had significant Mohs surgery on right cheek. Dr. Surowitz decided a flap was the best option.
Dr. Surowitz followed me closely after the procedure. In addition to my regular appointments, he was willing to see me when I had questions during the healing process. I was very pleased with my care.
It was an emotional year for me, but I am pleased with the result.

I had a significant Mohs surgery on right cheek to remove a squamous cell .Dr. Surowitz chose a flap procedure to repair the Mohs.
Although I received excellent care from my doctor, I was not prepared for the year ahead . It took months before it flattened. I followed all instructions from the doctor,but everyone's skin reacts differently to trama. Because my skin became red at the site, I learned to use concealer. Laser was offered for redness,but because my skin is fair and sensitive I chose not to chance another skin reaction.
It's been a year now. I am pleased with the results. The flap looks good and the redness is improving.
