Introduction

Rebuilding Confidence After Skin Cancer with Mohs Reconstruction

Restore the integrity of your facial skin, conceal large areas of tissue loss, and remove the scar tissue that is a daily reminder of your time with skin cancer. At Elite Plastic Surgery, our plastic and reconstructive surgeons, Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, or Dr. Ramyar Torabi, can consult with you about the scars and skin depressions caused by the excision of your skin cancer cells or growth. Your skin cannot regenerate the missing tissue, and you will need a skilled plastic surgeon to perform a Mohs reconstruction to erase the disfigurement.

What Is Mohs Reconstruction?

Mohs reconstruction surgery follows Mohs Micrographic Surgery as a cosmetic solution to restore the patient’s appearance after skin cancer. Once the cancer is completely removed, the focus shifts to improving the patient’s skin condition through advanced techniques.

Defects after skin cancer removal can vary in size and shape, and resolving cosmetic concerns with Mohs reconstruction requires great artistry and skill. Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, and Dr. Ramyar Torabi at Elite Plastic Surgery in Phoenix and Chandler do more than simply close a wound. They significantly improve the area, enhancing symmetry, balance, and function, delivering a truly outstanding result that optimizes peace of mind.

Mohs reconstruction surgery may involve advanced techniques, including autologous tissue grafts, skin grafts, cartilage and bone grafting, or staged reconstruction, depending on the complexity of the defect.

Am I a Good Candidate for Mohs Reconstruction?

We will consult with patients of all ages for Mohs reconstruction surgery. An ideal candidate for Mohs reconstruction will have:

  • Good physical (free from cancer) and mental health
  • Visible deformities or scars resulting from Mohs surgery
  • Radiation-induced lesions
  • Deformities caused by large moles or
  • Atypical skin malignancies on the face
  • No infection

What Happens During the Procedure?

Restorative plastic surgery after Mohs surgery can require extensive reconstruction of nerves, tear ducts, facial features, nasal structures, and more. Your general surgeon may refer you to a trusted plastic surgeon for post-Mohs reconstruction. As there is no one-size-fits-all procedure, various surgical techniques are used, including skin grafts, bone grafting, cartilage grafting, tissue expanders, and flap techniques. Sometimes, the patient may need surgeries staged, depending on the complexity and number of procedures required to restore the area(s). We can estimate between 30 minutes ­to 3 hours in the operating room per surgery with local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or IV sedation. Skin cancer excision (Mohs Surgery) by a general surgeon is not commonly performed concurrently with reconstruction, which an experienced plastic surgeon typically performs.

What to Expect During Your Consultation for Mohs Reconstruction

During your preliminary consultation, you will meet with Dr. Rozbeh, Dr. Radbeh, and Dr. Ramyar Torabi to explore your goals for improvement, receive transparent answers to all your most pressing questions, and complete a medical and physical assessment process. The doctors will explain the specific techniques they plan to use and ensure you clearly understand the procedure’s risks, downtime, costs, and potential outcomes. Once you are approved for surgery and decide to proceed, we will book your appointment and provide pre-treatment guidelines in the form of a checklist to streamline your journey.

Your Guide to Post-Mohs Reconstructive Surgery Care

Many patients are discharged on the same day as the procedure and can go home to recover. We advise our Mohs reconstruction patients to:

  • Follow all of the instructions given to you by the plastic surgeon, including making all post-op appointments, especially to remove sutures
  • Keep the area of your face clean (using a hydrogen peroxide solution), and dry
  • The incisions need to be covered for a few days
  • Continue to use topical ointment and ice packs to avoid infection and swelling
  • Sleep upright so that the head rests above the heart
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 2 – 3 weeks or after being released by your plastic surgeon

It is also very important for healing to avoid sun exposure and to wear sunscreen, protective clothing, and a hat to shade your face.
