Key Benefits of Mohs Surgery

• Optimal Cosmetic Outcomes – Minimizing tissue loss means more natural reconstruction and better aesthetic results.
• Highest Cure Rates – Up to 99% for certain skin cancers.
• Tissue-Sparing Precision – Only cancerous tissue is removed, preserving as much healthy skin as possible.
• Comprehensive Margin Control – Cancer clearance is confirmed in three dimensions: depth and periphery.

The Mohs Surgery Process

Patients often find comfort in knowing exactly what to expect:

• Local Anesthesia – The area is numbed to ensure comfort during the procedure.
• Layer Removal – A thin layer of tissue is excised.
• Microscopic Examination – The tissue is mapped, processed, and examined under a microscope by Dr. Rohani himself.
• Repeat as Needed – If cancer cells are still present, another layer is removed precisely where the cancer remains.
• Clearance Achieved – The process continues until all cancer cells are gone.
• Reconstruction – Once cancer-free, the wound is carefully repaired, often with advanced reconstructive techniques to achieve natural results.

Why Choose Mohs Surgery?

Mohs surgery is the treatment of choice when:

• The cancer is located on the face, scalp, ears, neck, hands, or feet.
• The tumor is large, aggressive, or has poorly defined borders.
• The cancer has recurred after prior treatment.
• Maximum preservation of healthy skin is essential for appearance or function.

Reconstruction & Cosmetic Outcomes

Because skin cancers often occur on visible areas like the nose, cheeks, ears, and lips, reconstruction is a vital part of Mohs surgery.

Dr. Rohani has performed thousands of reconstructions and specializes in closures that restore both function and appearance. Techniques range from simple sutures to flap and graft reconstructions, always tailored to achieve the most natural result possible.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients are surprised at how well they recover after Mohs surgery.

• Minimal Downtime – Many patients return to normal activities within a few days.
• Sutures – Stitches may remain for about 5–14 days, depending on the location.
• Follow-Up Care – Regular check-ins ensure proper healing and ongoing skin cancer prevention.
• Long-Term Skin Health – Patients who undergo Mohs are encouraged to continue yearly skin cancer screenings.
