Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Mohs surgery take?
It can take a few hours because we analyze each layer of tissue in real time to ensure we remove all the cancer while saving as much healthy skin as possible. The waiting time between stages is what makes the process longer, but it’s worth it for the precision and the best possible cosmetic result.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
Yes, you’ll be awake, but we use local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. Most people find it surprisingly comfortable, and you can bring headphones or a book to help pass the time while we process the tissue samples.
How soon can I go back to normal activities?
That depends on where the surgery is and how much tissue was removed. For small procedures, many people resume normal activities within a day or two, but for larger areas, you might need to take it easy for a week or so. We’ll give you clear instructions to help with healing.
What if I feel nervous about the surgery?
It’s completely normal to feel a bit anxious! Mohs surgery is one of the safest and most effective treatments for skin cancer. We’re here to answer any questions, keep you comfortable, and make the process as smooth as possible. If you have any specific worries, let us know—we’ll walk you through everything.
