Moh’s Reconstruction
After excising cancer, restore a more natural appearance to your skin to help you heal with confidence.
Moh's reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to repair wounds caused by Moh's surgery, a precise surgical technique used to remove skin cancer. The goal of Moh's reconstruction is to restore normal appearance and function to the affected area, minimizing scarring and disfigurement.
Patients who have undergone Moh's surgery for skin cancer removal are candidates for Moh's reconstruction. The procedure is particularly beneficial for patients with wounds in cosmetically or functionally important areas, such as the face, hands, or feet. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
