Restoring Your Skin's Health And Appearance
At Daniels Group Plastic Surgery in Summit, New Jersey, we specialize in Skin Cancer Reconstruction following MOHS surgery. MOHS surgery is an effective treatment for skin cancer, but it often leaves behind wounds that require careful closure for optimal healing and aesthetic results. Our skilled plastic surgeons provide expert reconstruction techniques, ensuring that your skin is restored to its natural appearance and function. Whether the surgery was performed on your face, neck, or another visible area, we focus on both medical outcomes and cosmetic results to support your recovery.
What Is Skin Cancer Reconstruction (MOHS Closure)?
Skin Cancer Reconstruction following MOHS surgery is a procedure designed to close and repair the wound left after the removal of skin cancer. MOHS surgery is highly effective for removing cancerous cells, but it often results in larger surgical defects, especially on areas like the face. Reconstruction involves using specialized techniques, such as skin grafts, flaps, or advanced suturing, to restore both the functionality and appearance of the treated area. The goal is to minimize scarring, ensure proper healing, and create a natural-looking result that helps you regain confidence.
How Skin Cancer Reconstruction (MOHS Closure) Works
The reconstruction process typically takes place once the cancerous tissue has been fully removed. After assessing the surgical site, the plastic surgeon at Daniels Group Plastic Surgery will create a personalized plan for restoring the affected area. Depending on the size and depth of the removal, techniques such as skin grafting (taking skin from another area of the body) or flap surgery (moving nearby tissue to cover the defect) may be used. In some cases, specialized closure techniques and sutures are employed to minimize scarring and ensure the best functional and cosmetic outcomes.
Conditions Skin Cancer Reconstruction (MOHS Closure) Can Treat
Skin Cancer Reconstruction following MOHS surgery is used to address a variety of skin cancers, particularly those that affect visible areas. This procedure is essential for closing larger defects left behind by MOHS surgery, and it helps ensure the skin heals properly, both functionally and aesthetically. Conditions skin cancer reconstruction can treat:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
- Melanoma (for certain cases)
- Skin cancer defects on the face, neck, ears, and other visible areas
- Post-excision tissue loss or deformities
- Scarring from skin cancer excision
