When you’re told you have skin cancer, the first thought is usually: “I just want it gone.”
We do too. But especially when that cancer is on your face, we’re also thinking about what happens and how you will feel after it’s gone.
That’s one of the reasons Mohs surgery is such an incredible way to treat certain skin cancers. Your surgeon removes the cancer in stages and examines the margins under the microscope during your appointment. If cancer remains, we can see where it is and go back specifically to that area—preserving healthy skin everywhere else.
At Wall Dermatology in St. Petersburg, Florida, Dr. Weston Wall is a fellowship-trained Mohs and reconstructive surgeon who has performed more than 10,000 skin cancer surgeries and reconstructions. For him, reconstruction isn’t something we start thinking about after the cancer is removed. It’s part of the plan from the beginning—particularly when treating cancers of the nose, eyelids, lips, ears and other areas of the face.
The first priority is always treating the cancer. But we also want you to heal well, maintain normal function, and feel like yourself when you look in the mirror afterward.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or another skin cancer and have been told you may need Mohs surgery, we’re happy to help you understand your options.
