Mohs micrographic surgery on the eyelid is one of the most precise applications of the technique. The eyelid is a thin, functionally critical structure with delicate margins, where preserving healthy tissue and protecting eye function are paramount.
Miss Rakhee Nayar performs Mohs surgery and reconstruction of the eyelid as a single consultant procedure. Dual training in Mohs and plastic surgery allows tumour removal with maximum cure rate, followed immediately by reconstruction designed to preserve eyelid function and natural appearance.
Why Mohs surgery on the eyelid
- Highest cure rates for basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma of the eyelid.
- Tissue-sparing technique preserves eyelid margin, lashes and underlying structures wherever possible.
- Margins confirmed clear before reconstruction begins.
- Single-day procedure under local anaesthetic in most cases.
Reconstruction after eyelid Mohs
Reconstruction is tailored to defect size and location, ranging from primary closure and skin grafts for smaller defects to multi-layered eyelid reconstruction (e.g. Tenzel flap, Cutler-Beard flap, Hughes procedure) for larger or full-thickness defects. Miss Nayar discusses all suitable options at consultation.
