Procedure Details

In this case, Infiltrative Basal Cell Carcinoma Cancer has been completely removed from the Nasal Supratip with MOHS Surgery. A Rotation Flap Surgical Repair was chosen because inelasticity of skin made the closure difficult. This avoids a deforming, depressed, and contracted scar, and closes the large gap created by lesion removal. In this case, the technique preserves the function and cosmetic appearance of the face.
