Recovering from Mohs surgery depends on the size and location of the tumor that was removed. Most patients can return to work and non-strenuous activity the day after the procedure if they can keep their incisions dry and clean as they heal.
Skin cancer patients are more likely to develop tumors in the future, so they should arrange semi-regular checkups with their surgeon or dermatologist to ensure any recurrence or new growths are detected as soon as possible.
