What Is Basal Cell Carcinoma?
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. It typically develops in areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, neck, and scalp.
While it usually grows slowly, untreated basal cell carcinoma can become locally invasive, damaging surrounding tissue and leading to more complex reconstruction.
Early, precise treatment is key to achieving the best outcomes. If you have been diagnosed with Basal Cell Carcinoma, give us a call today to discuss Mohs treatment and verify your insurance benefits.
Why Mohs Surgery Is the Most Effective Treatment
Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold standard for treating basal cell carcinoma, especially in cosmetically sensitive or high-risk areas.
This advanced technique allows for:
Complete cancer removal with real-time microscopic analysis
Maximum preservation of healthy tissue
The highest cure rates of any treatment method
By removing cancer layer by layer and examining each section immediately, Mohs surgery ensures no cancer cells are left behind.
With over 3,000+ successful Mohs surgeries performed, Dr. Freedman brings a high level of precision, experience, and individuality to every case, helping patients with even the most complex cases achieve optimal medical and cosmetic outcomes.

When Should Basal Cell Carcinoma Be Treated?
You should seek evaluation if you notice:
- A spot that bleeds, scabs, or does not heal
- A pearly or translucent bump
- A lesion that slowly grows over time
- A previously treated skin cancer that has returned
- You have been referred for Mohs treatment by your physician
Prompt treatment helps prevent deeper tissue involvement and more complex reconstruction.
What to Expect During Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is performed in our Miami office using local anesthesia and typically completed in a single visit.
Step 1
Local Anesthetic Applied
Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
Step 2
Precise Removal
The visible tumor is removed along with a thin layer of surrounding tissue.
Step 3
Immediate Analysis
The tissue is examined under a microscope to check for remaining cancer cells.
Step 4
Layer-by-Layer Treatment
If cancer is still present, additional layers are removed only where needed.
Step 5
Reconstruction
Once the cancer is fully removed, the area is carefully repaired to optimize healing and cosmetic outcome.
Reconstruction After Skin Cancer Removal
Following Mohs surgery, reconstruction is performed with careful attention to both function and appearance, especially in highly visible areas like the face.
Dr. Freedman is highly experienced in performing closures designed to optimize healing and cosmetic outcomes.
For patients who prefer, reconstruction can be coordinated with a plastic surgeon. In these cases, the plastic surgeon may charge an additional fee for the closure portion of the procedure.
