What is it?

Skin cancer reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure designed to repair and restore the skin after the removal of skin cancer, often following MOHS surgery. When a lesion is excised—especially on highly visible areas like the face, nose, ears, or scalp—it can leave behind a defect that may impact the area's appearance or natural function. The goal of reconstruction is to close this wound in a way that promotes healing, preserves natural contours and minimizes scarring. 



At Dermatology Skin and Surgery Center, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Sumita Saha, serves the communities of Battle Creek and Jackson, Michigan, using advanced techniques such as skin flaps, skin grafts, and layered closures to deliver natural-looking results. The chosen surgical solution depends on the size, depth, and location of the defect as well as the patient’s overall health and cosmetic goals.


What to expect

Your skin cancer reconstruction journey begins with a consultation in one of our Michigan offices, where we’ll review your MOHS surgery results and create a tailored reconstruction plan. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation, depending on complexity. Recovery times vary—from just a few days for minor closures to several weeks for more involved repairs. 


You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tightness in the treated area, which is normal and expected. Our team will provide detailed wound care instructions to support optimal healing. Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor recovery and ensure the best cosmetic outcome. Whether your concern is nasal reconstruction after basal cell carcinoma or restoring facial symmetry after melanoma removal, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
