Patient Has Amazing Outcome With Mohs Surgery - SLUCare Dermatology

Tamara Whitlock developed a lesion on her nose that wouldn't heal, after a biopsy it was found to be cancerous. Because it was on her nose Mohs surgery was her best option. Tamara met with SLUCare Mohs Surgeon Dr. Eran Chen who was able to get rid of the skin cancer and provide an amazing outcome for Tamara.
Mohs surgery is an outpatient procedure providing the most accurate means of removing common types of skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, while preserving healthy tissue around a suspect mole or lesion.
Mohs surgery can be more than 98 percent effective at treating certain types of skin cancer. During the Mohs procedure, all of the tissue around the surgical margins is evaluated, instead of just a sample. More information online at www.slucare.edu/dermatology/m...

I am 9 days into recovery from 2 squamous cell cancers being removed by Moh's. I have two long scars on my forehead and cheek. How long does it take for the scars to blend in or do you usually have to get facial reconstruction surgery after Moh's?
