Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin

After excision of tumor and repair of the defect, a scar will ultimately result.

Mohs surgeons are trained in reconstructive techniques for optimal esthetic outcome, hiding scars when possible.

Deformity may occur either primarily due to local destruction by the tumor itself or secondary to surgical intervention.

Squamous cell carcinoma often occurs in cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face.

Earlier detection of smaller tumors leads to less deformity, and Mohs surgeons are trained in reconstructive techniques for optimal esthetic outcome.
