Facial MOHS Reconstruction in Los Angeles
Every patient’s reconstruction plan is personalized depending on the size, depth, and location of the defect. Common approaches include:
- Primary Closure – simple stitches to close smaller wounds
- Skin Grafts – transplanting healthy skin from another area
- Local Flaps – rotating or repositioning adjacent tissue to cover the wound
- Regional or Free Tissue Transfer – for more complex cases requiring advanced reconstruction
- Cartilage or Structural Grafts – often needed for the nose, eyelids, or ears to maintain shape and function
Our team emphasizes natural results, carefully aligning incisions with facial contours to minimize visible scarring.
