Care Details

At Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we provide expert Mohs Surgery for the precise removal of skin cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This advanced, highly effective procedure is ideal for treating basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other forms of skin cancer in sensitive areas like the face, neck, or hands. With our skilled team, you’ll receive compassionate, meticulous care to ensure optimal outcomes and a successful recovery. Mohs Surgery is ideal for patients with skin cancer lesions located in cosmetically or functionally significant areas, recurrent cases of skin cancer, or tumors with unclear boundaries. This procedure focuses on removing cancerous cells layer by layer while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. Many patients find peace of mind in knowing that this treatment offers one of the highest cure rates for skin cancer while minimizing scarring and preserving appearance. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout. During the surgery, the affected area is carefully excised in thin layers, which are immediately examined under a microscope to confirm the complete removal of cancerous cells. This process is repeated until all cancerous tissue has been removed. Mohs Surgery typically takes several hours, depending on the size and complexity of the lesion. Recovery involves protecting the treated area and following specific aftercare instructions to minimize scarring and promote healing. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, with full recovery taking a few weeks to months as the tissue heals and any reconstructive efforts settle. Mohs Surgery at Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offers a precise and effective solution to treat skin cancer while preserving your natural appearance.
