Closing the defect well
After Mohs surgery or wide local excision for skin cancer, the resulting defect needs thoughtful reconstruction — especially on the face, where aesthetic outcome and functional preservation both matter.
Dr. Steffen has presented and published on same-day reconstruction of Mohs-related soft tissue defects using a collaborative approach with dermatologic surgeons. His technique is built on detailed anatomic understanding and experience closing a wide range of facial and body defects.
