At Marietta Dermatology we have extensive experience in Mohs and reconstructive surgery. Our top priorities are the successful removal of your skin cancer and an aesthetic reconstruction to restore your natural anatomy. After the removal of your skin cancer, we create an
individualized plan based on the location and size of the defect as well as your specific skin type. While it is impossible for a surgeon to cut the skin without leaving a scar, we will perform your reconstruction very meticulously to help ensure you have the best result possible. All photos included in this gallery are from surgeries performed by Dr. Friedman or Dr. Perry. The after photos were taken approximately 3 months following the surgery. Please do not download or reproduce the
