Skin Cancer Removal

Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. The goal during Mohs surgery is to progressively remove as much of the layers of cancer-containing skin, while doing minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue, until only cancer-free tissue remains. After this, the wound can be reconstructed. Dr. Barker specializes in this reconstruction of these defects. He works closely with the Mohs surgeon to ensure a seamless process.

Who is a candidate for Mohs reconstruction?

Patients with skin cancers on the face may benefit from Mohs surgery and subsequent reconstruction. If you do not already have a Dermatologist, we can recommend one for you.

How is Mohs surgery and reconstruction performed?
During your consultation, Dr. Barker will take time to listen, address your concerns and determine which surgical approach will give you the best results.

Cancer Reconstruction

If you or a loved one has had surgical cancer-cell removal in the head or neck, reconstruction after the surgery can both preserve and restore both the appearance and function of the involved area. Dr. Barker works closely with the cancer surgeon to ensure that you have the best possible outcome after surgery.

Who is a candidate for cancer reconstruction?
Patients with tumors of the head and neck may need advanced reconstruction. This would be determined by the size of the tumor and your cancer surgeon.

How is the surgery performed?
These are complex surgeries and each one is unique. We discuss the types of treatments available at your consultation.
