Mohs Surgery Case #12193
Before
After
Patient is a young female in her early 50s who was diagnosed with a small basal cell carcinoma of the nasal tip. After undergoing Mohs surgical excision, a defect of the nasal tip was created. Patient was then referred for closure of the defect. This was achieved using a local rotational flap utilizing the skin from the surrounding structures. The closure left very little scarring that is not easily noticeable. The defects of the nasal tip pose special challenges because of the prominence of the tip. Most scars in these areas are easily noticeable and hard to conceal. Adequate planning, proper surgical technique and proper postoperative care are essential to achieving great results.
