Frequently Asked Questions
We're Always Here to Help You
What is Miss Rakhee Nayar's specialty?
As a Consultant Plastic Surgeon, she holds a rare dual qualification in both reconstructive plastic surgery and the precision work of a Mohs surgeon. This unique background allows her to focus on the complete removal of skin cancers while using advanced surgical techniques to restore natural appearance and function
What conditions and treatments does Miss Rakhee Nayar specialise in?
As a Consultant Plastic Surgeon and specialist Mohs doctor, she provides expert assessment and treatment for basal cell carcinoma, high-risk skin cancer, and complex skin lesions.
Her practice focuses on combining precise cancer removal with advanced facial reconstruction, ensuring that every treatment plan is personalised to your specific needs following a thorough evaluation.
Why should I choose a plastic surgery-trained Mohs surgeon?
This dual expertise ensures that while the Mohs doctor removes the cancer with microscopic precision, the reconstructive phase is handled with the aesthetic skill of a Consultant Plastic Surgeon.
This streamlines the number of people involved in your care, your appointments but most importantly allows in the vast majority of patients for “same day” reconstruction post Mohs surgery.
How long should I expect the day to last?
Because your Mohs surgeon checks the tissue layers one by one while you wait, the process can take several hours, so it’s best to bring a book and plan for a day at the clinic.
Will I be left with a noticeable scar after Mohs surgery on the face?
Yes, a scar is inevitable no matter who your surgeon is. As a specialist in facial reconstruction, Miss Nayar uses meticulous plastic surgery techniques to try and ensure the best result from the defect that is created post skin cancer removal. One example is to place incisions within natural skin creases, ensuring the most discreet result possible.
Is the Mohs procedure painful?
The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic. You will feel the area being numbed up, but following this you will remain comfortable throughout the process of surgery, and further local anaesthetic is administered with every stage or reconstruction.
Is Mohs micrographic surgery suitable for all types of skin cancer?
It is primarily recommended for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, particularly when located in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas.
What is the cure rate for Mohs surgery?
Mohs micrographic surgery offers the highest cure rate of any treatment for basal cell carcinoma, reaching in excess of 99% for primary tumours. Not only is complete excision achieved on the day of surgery, but due to the techniques of tissue examination and the accuracy of this, recurrence rates are extremely low.
Does Miss Nayar treat patients from outside the North West?
Yes, Miss Nayar frequently consults with patients from London and across the UK who travel specifically for her specialist reconstructive and Mohs expertise.
Do I need a GP referral for an e-Consultation?
No, you can book an e-Consultation directly to receive a professional assessment of your skin lesions and a preliminary recommendation for surgery.
Where does Miss Rakhee Nayar practise?
Miss Rakhee Nayar sees patients at St Helen’s Hospital both on the NHS and on a private basis. She holds private consultations at Fairfield Independent Hospital and Circle Cheshire Clinic, providing expert in-person care for those seeking a specialist.
Does Miss Rakhee Nayar offer private appointments?
Yes, she provides private consultations for patients who want direct and flexible access to a specialist. This private pathway allows you to avoid long waiting lists and receive a personalised treatment plan from a Consultant Plastic Surgeon with expertise in both cancer removal and reconstruction.
Does Miss Rakhee Nayar accept insurance?
Yes, she is recognised by a wide range of private medical insurance providers, including Bupa, AXA, AVIVA, Cigna, and Vitality, among many others.
If you are planning to see her, it is always a good idea to check with your provider first, but the practice works with most major insurers like Aetna, Allianz, and WPA to make the process as straightforward as possible.
What payment methods are available?
Consultations with Miss Rakhee Nayar are currently available on a self-paying basis.
Can I drive home after my surgery?
While the procedure uses local anaesthetic, we generally recommend arranging for a friend or relative to drive you home, especially if the surgery was near the eyes.
