Mohs surgery and reconstruction: What timeline to expect?

Posted by keithl56 @keithl56, May 13 6:01am

I have been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on my head. My dermatologist set up a consult with a surgeon that does Moh's surgery on 5/29 and a consult with a reconstructive surgeon on 6/10.

Can anyone provide information regarding the usual time between consult and surgery and the time between Moh's and reconstruction?

I just had a large basal cell lesion surgically removed from back last May and am not looking forward to this summer!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

Thanks! Besides scarring my other concern is that I'm concerned that it may affect my hairline based on the location of the cancer.

I'm about to have mohs on my scalp half in scalp, half on forehead. How did your hairline go?

Just read about a new method that doesn't involve removing skin layers.

How about telling what this new method might be? Some of us don't hear about these new procedures.
Thanks!
