Although it can be done the next day, my MOHS surgeon and my plastic surgeon advised against it for that reason of having an open wound all that time. Plus, they both said the scar wouldn’t be as clean if the wound wasn’t closed right away. I’d find another plastic surgeon and schedule the MOHS and other plastic surgeon on the same day to get it closed on the same day. The MOHS surgeon I used was so busy performing specifically cancer removal he wouldn’t have time to do any other type of surgery. The cosmetic plastic surgeon specialized in face and neck only. I think its best to stick with surgeons who specialize when it comes to these types of procedures.

Thanks for kindly taking the time to reply. Two friends had melanomas removed from their scalps by Dr. Ralph Massey in Santa Monica and they liked their results. I did not appreciate that Wednesday that week was Moh’s day and Thursday for wound closures. Felt vulnerable to have an open wound, overnight, even with a pressure dressing covering. Seems to be healing okay. So your surgeons worked in tandem. Interesting. I’m wondering if they are in the greater LA area. Subsequently learned of two other Moh’s specialists. Next time I’ll go elsewhere. Isn’t aging fun?

Getting two doctors to coordinate their schedules, locations on where to do the surgery, etc. would be a rare accomplishment. We have to make the best decisions we can with what we know and then move forward. Thanks for the input.
