Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Eyelid Reconstruction
Caution: "Before" Images of Skin Cancer Tend to be Graphic
Your eyelids play an important role in the health and proper functioning of your eyes. Eyelids protect your eyes from trauma, foreign bodies, and from sunlight damage. Eyelids also play an integral role in tear distribution and eye lubrication. Because eyelids are located in an area that receive ample sunlight and are often neglected when applying sunscreen they are particularly prone to developing skin cancer.
Mohs surgery on the eyelid is an effective way to remove skin cancer and ensure proper eyelid function after reconstruction. Because the eyelid has so many different functions and is anatomically sophisticated, the reconstructive surgeon must take into consideration several factors to ensure the best result. Dr. Hazany has performed thousands of eyelid skin cancer removal surgeries and eyelid reconstructions. With his extensive cosmetics expertise, Dr. Hazany ensures a cosmetically satisfying result and an optimally functional eyelid.
