A skin cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but advances in treatment have made it possible to remove cancerous tissue while preserving healthy skin. Mohs surgery is a highly effective, precise procedure used to treat many types of skin cancer, but especially basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. At With Care Dermatology in Dallas, TX, Dr. Daniel Witheiler, MD, and Tiffany Miner, PA-C, guide patients through the process with care, expertise, and clear communication.
Understanding Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery removes cancerous tissue layer by layer while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin. This approach provides the highest cure rates for many skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The technique is particularly valuable for areas where preserving appearance and function is important, such as the face, hands, and neck.
Preparing for the Procedure
Before surgery, the team at With Care Dermatology reviews your medical history and explains what to expect during the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to keep patients comfortable, and the surgical site is carefully marked. Patients are encouraged to arrange for transportation from our Dallas, TX, office if needed and to follow any specific pre-procedure instructions provided by the clinic.
Step-by-Step Process
During Mohs surgery, Dr. Witheiler removes the visible tumor first. Each layer of tissue is then examined under a microscope to check for remaining cancer cells. This cycle continues until no cancer is detected. While this process may take several hours, it ensures that all cancerous tissue is removed with minimal impact on healthy skin.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, the surgical site is dressed, and patients receive detailed instructions for wound care. Depending on the size and location of the removal, repair may involve simple closure, a skin flap, or a graft. Most patients experience mild swelling or redness, which typically resolves within a few days to weeks. With Care Dermatology provides follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns.
Supporting Patients At Every Point
Undergoing Mohs surgery can feel daunting, but With Care Dermatology is committed to making the process as smooth and reassuring as possible. By combining precision, expertise, and personalized care, Dr. Witheiler and Tiffany Miner help patients not only treat skin cancer but also protect the appearance and function of affected areas. If you are looking for a Mohs surgeon or have something on your skin you want checked out, call our Dallas, TX, office at (214) 941-7546.
