MOHS SURGERY FORT MYERS
If you’ve been diagnosed with skin cancer or referred for Mohs surgery, choosing the right provider is an important next step. At Dermatology Solutions, we perform Mohs surgery using a precise, stage-by-stage approach that removes cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. This technique offers one of the highest cure rates for certain skin cancers and is especially effective in areas where both accuracy and cosmetic outcome matter. Our focus is on complete removal, careful reconstruction, and a clear treatment experience from start to finish.
What to Expect at Your Mohs Consultation
Your first visit is focused on clarity and preparation. During your consultation, your provider will review your diagnosis, examine the treatment area, and walk you through how Mohs surgery is performed step by step. You’ll have time to ask questions and understand what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
Mohs surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure by a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, allowing for precise treatment without the need for a hospital stay.
Types of Skin Cancer Commonly Treated with Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is most often used to treat basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) — the two most common forms of skin cancer. These cancers frequently develop in sun-exposed areas and can continue to grow if not completely removed.
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): Typically slow-growing and highly treatable when detected early
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): May grow more aggressively and requires precise removal
- Melanoma: A more serious form of skin cancer that is typically treated using different approaches
Your provider will determine the most appropriate treatment based on the type, location, and behavior of the cancer.
Recovery and Healing After Mohs Surgery
Healing after Mohs surgery varies depending on the size and location of the treated area, but most patients experience only mild redness, swelling, or discomfort in the days following the procedure. Proper aftercare plays an important role in healing, including keeping the area clean, protecting it as it recovers, and limiting strenuous activity for a short period if advised. Follow-up care may be recommended to ensure the site is healing as expected. Our team provides clear, personalized aftercare instructions to support optimal healing and help minimize scarring.
