However, Mohs surgery is typically recommended following a biopsy confirming skin cancer. If you already have a biopsy report, please bring it to your consultation appointment. ### What types of skin cancer is Mohs surgery used for? Mohs is most commonly used for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It’s particularly recommended for cancers on the face, scalp, ears, and hands, or for aggressive, large, or recurrent cancers. ### How long is recovery after Mohs surgery? Recovery time varies depending on the size and location of the wound and how it was closed. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Sutures are typically removed 1–2 weeks later. Redness and swelling improve over several weeks, and the scar continues to mature for up to a year. ### Will my insurance cover Mohs surgery? Yes. Mohs surgery is a medically necessary procedure for skin cancer removal and is covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare. Our team will help verify your coverage and walk you through any pre-authorization requirements. ## Book a Mohs Surgery Consultation in Glendale. Don’t face skin cancer alone.
