Mohs surgery is the most effective procedure for the removal of skin cancer. It is especially beneficial for facial skin cancers due to its micrographic technique. That said, studies have shown that most patients underestimate how substantial their Mohs scar will be. It is important to engage in clear dialogue with your Mohs surgeon ahead of your scheduled surgery and to ask questions about the potential for scarring and what to do about it. Dr. Trussler supports Mohs surgeons in our local area by providing consultation and reconstructive services to patients whose procedures may leave them with a deformity. When we can prepare ahead of time, we can plan the ideal timing for reconstruction, which is sometimes the same day as the Mohs procedure.
