Am I Qualified for Mohs Micrographic Surgery?
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a treatment specifically designed for skin cancer patients. This is a highly beneficial option for skin cancer patients due to the minimum amount of skin that is removed and maximum efficiency that the surgery provides in eliminating skin cancer. In an effort to preserve as much healthy skin as possible, the procedure is done by a cosmetic surgeon through stages by removing one layer of cancerous skin tissue at a time. The patient receives local anesthesia through an outpatient procedure. When a tumor is removed the roots may still remain and the cancer could come back. After the tumor is removed, an additional layer of tissue is removed and the skin cancer cells are mapped out under a microscope. If any cancerous tissue remains, only the cancerous skin tissue is removed.
Am I a good candidate for mohs micrographic skin cancer surgery?
Skin cancer patients can be candidates for Mohs Micrographic Surgery when they have skin cancer in an area of the body that they would like to preserve for cosmetic purposes, if previous skin cancer has returned, or if the skin cancer is located near scar tissue. Cosmetic plastic surgeons specializing in Mohs Micrographic Surgery should be contacted if the skin cancer is greater than 1 cm in diameter without definitive edges, is spreading quickly, or occurs with a lymphoma patient or organ transplant recipient.
For mohs micrographic surgery, turn toward a cosmetic plastic surgeon

Trained cosmetic plastic surgeons are highly skilled and knowledgeable in skin cancer and cosmetic surgery providing patients with an optimum and highly recommended choice.
