If you’ve undergone Mohs surgery following a diagnosis of skin cancer, including conditions affecting the eyelid, you understand the importance of expert closure techniques not only for healing but also for cosmetic restoration. Rostami OPC in McLean, Virginia, specializes in Mohs Closure to ensure optimal outcomes after skin cancer removal, focusing on both the health and cosmetic goals of your recovery.
What is Mohs Closure?
Mohs Closure is a procedure used to reconstruct the area after skin cancer cells have been removed through Mohs surgery. Our trained oculofacial plastic surgeons carefully perform this treatment. This surgery enhances your cosmetic appearance while maintaining the skin’s functionality, especially in sensitive areas like the eyelids, where movement is essential.
Skin cancer can occur along the eyelid, presenting a unique challenge due to the delicate nature of the surrounding tissue. A new or changing eyelid lesion—whether in appearance, size, or color should be promptly evaluated by one of our oculofacial plastic surgeons. These lesions are carefully biopsied to determine their nature. If cancerous, it’s crucial to ensure that all affected tissue is removed and that the eyelid and surrounding skin are confirmed to be cancer-free through procedures like Mohs surgery or frozen section margin control.
Candidates for Mohs Closure
Candidates for Mohs Closure include individuals who have undergone skin cancer removal, especially those with lesions near critical areas such as the eyelids. This procedure benefits anyone wishing to minimize scarring and restore skin functionality. The best way to determine your candidacy for Mohs Closure treatment is to schedule a consultation with one of our experts at Rostami OPC in McLean, Virginia.
Mohs Closure Treatment
The Mohs Closure treatment at Rostami OPC involves various advanced techniques tailored to the specific location and extent of the previous surgical site. Depending on the individual case, this may include simple sutures, skin grafts, or local flaps that are carefully manipulated to cover the wound and blend seamlessly with the surrounding skin.
Mohs Closure Recovery and Aftercare
Following Mohs Closure, patients typically experience minimal downtime, with mild side effects, including temporary swelling or discomfort. Our team offers aftercare support, including instructions on wound care and post-treatment monitoring, to ensure adequate healing and minimize the visibility of scars.
