Surgeons can employ various strategies to minimize the appearance of scars from Mohs micrographic surgery and other cutaneous procedures. Preoperative evaluation should be conducted to determine risk factors that may impede wound healing. Intraoperative techniques such as resurfacing can be used to improve scar appearance, and postoperative repair can be done both surgically and via mechanical and laser resurfacing. Ultimately, the cosmetic outcome should be optimized and individualized based on the needs and expectations of each patient.
