Reconstruction After Mohs Surgery in Chicago

Mohs reconstructive surgery helps restore and promote proper healing after skin or tissue is removed during Mohs surgery for skin cancer treatment.

What Is Reconstruction After Mohs Surgery?

Reconstruction after Mohs surgery is a crucial process focused on repairing and restoring the skin or tissue that has been removed during Mohs micrographic surgery, a highly effective technique for treating skin cancer. This reconstructive phase is essential for achieving the best possible cosmetic and functional outcomes, ensuring that the treated area heals properly and looks as natural as possible.

Dr. Mendez employs a variety of advanced techniques to close the surgical site. These methods include the use of sutures, skin flaps, or grafts, depending on the size and location of the excised tissue. The goal is to seamlessly integrate the repaired area with the surrounding skin, minimizing scarring and maintaining the skin's natural appearance and function.

Patients undergoing reconstruction after Mohs surgery can expect a thorough and personalized treatment plan. Our team carefully assesses each case to determine the most appropriate reconstructive method, ensuring optimal healing and aesthetic results. Recovery is closely monitored to address any concerns promptly, and patients are provided with detailed aftercare instructions to promote swift and effective healing.

Dr. Mendez and staff are best in class. From prep to recovery my experience was amazing and Dr. Mendez was in constant communication ensuring all my questions were answered. I cannot recommend this team enough.

Dr. Mendez is hands down the best at what he does. From my first consultation, I knew he was the right fit for my needs. I’ve had two surgeries with him after significant weight loss, and I honestly could not be happier with my results. I feel so much more confident in my own skin now. Appointments are always thorough, and I never once felt rushed or overlooked. His entire team was genuinely invested in my journey, and I never felt like just another number. If I had questions during recovery, he was always just a call or text away, and that level of support made such a difference. His skill and care feel truly unmatched, and I’m so grateful for the experience I’ve had. I cannot recommend Dr. Mendez enough!

I saw Dr. Mendez primarily for a breast reduction and some belly lipo. But after our consult, I decided to go all in with the full mommy make over. I am 4.5 months post op and I can honestly say absolutely nothing negative about Dr. Mendez, his team and my results. I had little to no pain from my incisions due to the numbing agent he used, AMAZING! I was very shocked. I spoke to him on the phone first thing the next morning and he let me know how everything went. From there, he was in constant contact with me. I had some minor issues pop up in the first couple of weeks due to sensitive skin reaction to the gauze I used so some rashes developed. He immediately took action with prescriptions for cream and an antibiotic to ensure no infections developed. I felt bad on certain occasions contacting him (you have a direct line to him) but he assured me that he wanted to be informed. At this point, my incisions have healed and have started to lighten and everything is settling into the final outcome. I have had large breasts and a belly pooch since my teenage years. After fertility drugs and pregnancy, my figure got progressively worse. I was at a point where no amount of diet and exercise would show the change that I wanted, I tried. At 51 years old, this is the BEST thing that I have ever done for myself. If you are on the fence, DO IT and choose Dr. Mendez as your surgeon. You will not be sorry!

I am beyond happy with my results from my tummy tuck and breast lift/reduction! From day one, Dr. Mendez and his team were professional, transparent, and incredibly kind. What truly sets Dr. Mendez apart is his integrity; he was honest from my initial consultation, advising me to lose weight before the procedure to ensure I’d get the absolute best outcome. It’s rare to find a surgeon who prioritizes patient results over everything else. His care didn't stop at the operating room, either—he personally checked in on me after surgery. Between his excellent pain management and the amazing support from Kari, the scheduling coordinator, I felt confident and safe throughout. If you want a perfectionist who genuinely cares, Dr. Mendez is the one.

I truly cannot recommend Dr. Mendez enough. From the very beginning he was the most caring, most professional, and reassuring surgeon I could have asked for. He made me feel completely safe and confident in my decision to move forward with my breast reduction, which made all the difference with my mentality. What stood out even more was how genuinely caring he is. Even post-op, he consistently reached out and followed up, made sure I was healing well which made me feel supported every step of the way. Not to mention, his support team and staff are the sweetest and most caring people; I seriously looked forward to seeing them for every follow-up appointment. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made and am now 5 months post-op happier than ever with my decision and journey with Dr. Mendez and his team!!
