MOHS Reconstruction surgery
For many years, Dr. Imber has sub-specialized in Mohs reconstruction in order to make the defect as nearly invisible as possible. Having performed hundreds of these difficult procedures, Dr. Imber is both realistic and optimistic. Experience and ingenuity have allowed him to accurately predict the outcome based on the size of the Mohs defect and its location on the face.
Generally, the reconstruction is scheduled for the morning following the Mohs procedure, to allow for proper planning and consultation with the Mohs surgeon.
MOHS RECONSTRUCTION CANDIDATES AND GOALS
Once Mohs chemosurgery is performed by a dermatologist to fully remove skin cancers, usually on the face and nose, a significant defect usually results, which is then reconstructed by a plastic surgeon. Dr. Imber aims to remodel the area so it is least noticeable as possible. Dr. Imber will review the entire surgical process.
What to expect and recovery
Reconstructive surgery happens the morning following your Mohs procedure. Once you arrive at Dr. Imber’s office, he will assess the defect to determine the surgical process. Dr. Imber and his nurses will review all surgical and recovery details with you and are available to answer any questions you may have.
