Mohs surgery is a highly effective technique for treating skin cancer, particularly in sensitive areas such as the face. While it offers unparalleled precision in removing cancerous cells, the procedure can sometimes result in visible scarring or deformities that affect the aesthetics of the face. However, with advancements in facial reconstruction techniques, patients no longer have to live with the cosmetic consequences of Mohs surgery. At the practice of Maurice M. Khosh, MD, FACS, we specialize in restoring both form and function to the face through personalized and expertly executed facial reconstruction procedures.
Understanding Mohs Surgery Repair
Mohs surgery, named after its inventor, Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, is a specialized technique used to remove skin cancer layer by layer while sparing healthy tissue. While incredibly effective at eradicating cancerous cells, Mohs surgery can leave behind defects or scars, particularly when performed on cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face. Depending on the extent of the cancerous growth, these defects may range from small wounds to larger areas of tissue loss.
Restoring Facial Aesthetics
Facial reconstruction following Mohs surgery aims to restore the natural contours and aesthetics of the face while minimizing visible scarring. Dr. Maurice M.

These techniques allow for the precise placement of tissue to fill defects and restore lost volume, resulting in a seamless integration with the surrounding facial structures.
