The Mohs closure procedure involves the meticulous repair of skin following Mohs surgery, a technique used to remove skin cancer. After the cancerous tissue is excised, the surgeon carefully sutures the wound, often using techniques to minimize scarring and restore the natural appearance of the skin. This may include layered closure, skin grafts, or flap techniques to achieve the best cosmetic and functional outcome.
The Mohs closure procedure is suitable for individuals who have undergone Mohs surgery for the removal of skin cancer lesions and require meticulous closure of the resulting surgical defects. You may be an ideal candidate for Mohs closure if you:
Have undergone Mohs surgery for the removal of skin cancer lesions
Require precise reconstruction of the surgical defect to optimize healing and aesthetic outcomes
Desire a seamless, natural-looking closure of the surgical site
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure
Dr. Schwarcz performs Mohs closure procedures with meticulous attention to detail to ensure optimal outcomes for his patients.
While Mohs closure offers significant benefits for many individuals, certain factors may preclude you from undergoing the procedure. Dr. Schwarcz only performs Mohs closure procedures and does not perform the removal of cancerous skin. If you require Mohs surgery for the removal of skin cancer lesions, we can refer you to a trusted dermatologist in the area.
During the Mohs closure procedure, Dr. Schwarcz will carefully examine the surgical defect resulting from Mohs surgery and develop a customized surgical plan to reconstruct the area. He will use advanced techniques to precisely close the wound, minimizing scarring and ensuring optimal healing. Dr. Schwarcz may utilize various closure techniques, including tissue rearrangement, skin grafts, or local flap reconstruction, depending on the size and location of the defect.
Following Mohs closure, you may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treated area. Dr. Schwarcz will provide detailed post-operative instructions to help manage any discomfort and promote optimal healing. Most patients can expect to resume normal activities within a week after the procedure, although strenuous exercise and activities that may strain the surgical site should be avoided for a few weeks.
Dr. Schwarcz will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure a smooth recovery process. With his expertise and personalized approach, Dr. Schwarcz strives to achieve natural-looking results and restore confidence in his patients.
