Restoring form and function after skin cancer surgery is always challenging. As a Fellowship trained Mohs surgeon, I always try my very best to hide a patient’s scars as best as possible. I would be interested to know if you can tell where I operated here? (Answer will be revealed 🤓) Thank you to my patient for allowing me to share this.
