Is it for you?<\/h2>\n
The removal of a skin lesion is most often advised by a dermatologist, but it can also be advised by a surgeon with knowledge in dermatology or requested by the patient for cosmetic reasons.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Technique” tab_id=”technique”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”technique”]<\/p>\n
Technique<\/h2>\n
Like every operation, a consultation is necessary to explain the method and potential risks, even for minor procedures. In this case, the technique consists of cutting the skin to remove the lesion and closing it in accordance with cosmetic surgery rules to obtain satisfying results with as little scarring as possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Procedure” tab_id=”procedure”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”procedure”]<\/p>\n
Procedure<\/h2>\n
The procedure can be conducted either at the medical office or at the clinic, usually under local anesthesia. It typically lasts under an hour and you can go home after scheduling an appointment for follow-up proceedings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”After the operation” tab_id=”after”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”after”]<\/p>\n
After the operation<\/h2>\n
You will not experience any pain and or have to take any time off of work. The threads will be removed after five to ten days and you will be able to resume all physical activities after two weeks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Results” tab_id=”results”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”results”]<\/p>\n
Results<\/h2>\n
The scar will require special care in the beginning and you will have to schedule follow-up appointments two and six months after the procedure. The final results depend on the development of the scar, which is usually barely visible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Mohs micrographic surgery” tab_id=”mohs-micrographic-surgery”][vc_column_text el_class=”title title__md title__text-transform-inherit link__secondary” el_id=”mohs-micrographic-surgery”]<\/p>\n
Mohs micrographic surgery<\/h2>\n
Mohs surgery is a technique of removal of cancerous skin lesions that ensures that the entirety of the lesion is fully removed before the skin is closed. It also allows the surgeon to perform the smallest, most precise and efficient excision possible.
\nThis technique consists of removing the lesion piece by piece and immediately analysing each of them with a microscope. This allows the surgeon to know exactly when the healthy tissue is reached and when to stop the excision.<\/p>\n
This technique was pioneered by Dr. Frederic Mohs in the 1940s and quickly spread throughout the US, although it was a bit less popular in Switzerland and France. It is especially effective because, if the lesion is not removed entirely, it can resurge relatively quickly while remaining hidden by the skin used to close the opening from the initial removal. This could cause the development of a tumor that would require a more serious and invasive operation.<\/p>\n
Mohs surgery is especially effective for cancerous lesions located on the face. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tour][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section disable_element=”yes” el_class=”faq”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”faq__title”]<\/p>\n
