Mohs Surgery, Excision, and Reconstructive Repair

Skin cancer removal may require reconstructive planning, especially on the face, nose, ears, eyelids, and lips.

Skin cancer treatment is not only about removing disease. In visible or delicate areas, the repair after removal may strongly affect healing, contour, and appearance.

Mohs surgery is often used when margin control and tissue preservation are important. Standard excision may be appropriate in other settings. The right choice depends on diagnosis, location, size, and medical judgment.

Plastic reconstructive repair may involve meticulous closure, tissue movement, grafting, or flap design. The goal is to restore form while respecting the tissue that remains.

Patients should understand the sequence of cancer removal, reconstruction, wound care, and follow-up.

Dr. Rein's skin cancer section includes multiple diagnoses and emphasizes the importance of repair after treatment.
