Frequently Asked Questions

How long does recovery take for facial reconstruction?

Recovery times vary depending on the complexity of the repair and the patient's health. Most patients expect the initial healing to take two to four weeks, though full tissue maturation takes several months.

Will my insurance cover these reconstructive procedures?

Many reconstructive surgeries are considered medically necessary and are often covered by insurance providers. We recommend checking our financing page or contacting your provider to verify your specific benefits.

How soon after Mohs surgery can reconstruction be performed?

In many cases, reconstruction can be performed on the same day or the day after the cancer is removed. We coordinate closely with your dermatologist to prioritize immediate repair.

What other procedures can be combined with reconstructive surgery?

Patients often combine restorative work with other surgical procedures, like a facelift or eyelid surgery. Combining treatments allows for a single recovery period while addressing both functional restoration and aesthetic balance.
