There are many techniques to improve nasal ala contours including both flaps and grafts. The specific technique used is dependent upon your exact anatomical abnormality. I recommend an in-person consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in this type of reconstruction.

Thank you for sharing. Yes it may be possible to reshape the ala after Mohs, but it depends on exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Speak to a surgeon for an in-person evaluation of your tissues and your anticipated goals.

Yes. The nose can be reconstructed after MOHS surgery. This is performed using flaps or grafts or both. Please call and see a Board Certified Plastic surgeon

Mohs surgery can be very destructive. Even careful reconstruction may need to occur in several stages to restore the peculiar curves and contours of the nose. And most importantly, it needs to function well. Grafts and flaps are typically used for this and a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience in Mohs reconstruction as well as rhinoplasty is your best bet.
