Understanding Mohs Surgery

Discover the Outcomes Mohs Surgery Can Deliver

Experience skin cancer treatment with unmatched precision and safety.

Mohs surgery is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for skin cancer, offering up to 99% success for newly diagnosed cancers and 94% for recurrent cases. This high level of accuracy ensures that patients receive the best possible outcome while minimizing the risk of cancer returning.

Unlike traditional surgery, Mohs removes only the cancerous tissue, carefully preserving the surrounding healthy skin. This precision is especially important for areas with cosmetic or functional significance, ensuring a natural appearance and optimal healing.

Designed for efficiency and patient comfort, Mohs surgery is performed entirely in an outpatient setting, often completed in a single visit. Same-day laboratory analysis and wound closure mean patients can return home quickly, reducing stress and disruption to daily life.

Performed under local anesthesia, Mohs surgery avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure allows for faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and a safer experience for patients of all ages.

Is Mohs Surgery Right for You?

Mohs surgery is ideal for patients needing precise, tissue-sparing skin cancer removal. It is especially recommended for:

 

  • Aggressive or recurrent cancers
  • Tumors in high-risk or cosmetically sensitive areas (nose, lips, ears, scalp, hands, genitals)
  • Large, fast-growing, or complex cancers
  • Cancers near vital functional or aesthetic areas (eyes, mouth)

This advanced technique ensures complete cancer removal while preserving healthy skin, offering patients maximum safety, precision, and optimal cosmetic outcomes.

What is Mohs surgery?
Mohs surgery is a specialized skin cancer treatment that removes cancerous tissue layer by layer while examining each layer under a microscope. This continues until only healthy tissue remains.
Because each layer is examined immediately, Mohs surgery allows complete cancer removal while preserving as much healthy skin as possible.
Mohs surgery is most commonly used for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, especially in areas where tissue preservation is critical.
Mohs is often recommended for cancers on the face, ears, nose, lips, scalp, hands, or other cosmetically or functionally important areas, as well as for recurrent or aggressive tumors.
The procedure is done in stages. After each layer is removed, you’ll wait while it’s examined in the lab. This process repeats until the cancer is fully removed.
There’s no fixed time. The procedure can take several hours depending on how many layers are needed, but you remain comfortable throughout.

I make an annual appointment for skin check and removals as needed. Dr Campbell always greets me with a smile, listens and answers my questions. Her MA is also nice and assists as needed. The office is comforting and clean. I like the music they play in the office and exams rooms, it’s relaxing.

Everyone has been really good to me. I would highly recommend Dr Campbell to everyone. I tell all my friends how she found my melanoma when I never saw it. Plus it didn’t bother me. I really appreciate her.
