Did he have the Mohs technique?

Larger defects are generally referred to a Plastic Surgeon for closure. This is usually performed at the same time as the excision if a Plastic Surgeon is available or within a 7 day period.
Most of the wound closures are performed in our office. However, other surgical specialists may be involved for their unique skill, if a tumor turns out to be much larger than initially anticipated. We individualize your treatment to achieve the best results. When the reconstruction is scheduled to be completed by other surgical specialties, that reconstruction may take place on the next day or two. There is no harm in delaying the reconstruction for several days.
Best wishes @Sushi with this procedure. When are you doing it so we can post some virtual care packages and flowers for you?
