Mardirossian Facial Aesthetics Now Accepts Medicare for Mohs patients

Mardirossian Facial Aesthetics, a practice specializing in skin cancer reconstruction, is now accepting Medicare for those seeking Mohs Micrographic Surgery once a dermatologist has already conducted the initial procedure. This type of surgery is crucial to those dealing with skin cancer, and the announcement of accepting patients receiving Medicare will bring this treatment to a wider range of patients. Dr. Mardirossian, a double board certified plastic surgeon, will complete the procedure by providing the aesthetic treatments for the closure of the specific area.

Mohs surgery was named after the dermatologist who first adopted and described it, Dr. Frederic Mohs. This type of surgery is very precise and deals only with the affected area. The goal is to remove only the damaged tissue and to leave the healthy tissue intact. During the procedure, extremely fine layers of skin containing cancerous cells are removed successively. Once removed, the doctor examines the skin – this is repeated until only cancer-free skin remains.

The procedure can take a varying amount of time depending on how many damaged layers of skin are removed. Once the skin cancer has been determined to be completely eliminated, reconstruction can then take place. The skin defects from Mohs surgery can be reconstructed with local flaps of skin or skin grafts. You do not need to be put to sleep with anesthesia as these procedures can be done using local anesthetic – the numbing of just one area of the body.

Mohs surgery is better than traditional surgery because it leaves the healthy tissue intact. This also allows the surgeon to make sure the cancer has been fully removed right there in the appointment. Rates of remission are increased and this is helpful in making sure additional treatments are not necessary.

Previously, Mardirossian Facial Aesthetics only offered this type of procedure to those without Medicare. Now, if you receive the federal health insurance program, you are eligible and their doors are open. Contact their office today for a free consultation.
