Real Results
Mohs surgery cases by Sarah Wilson, MD
23 real cases — from the first visit through the healed result. Every patient gave signed permission to share their photos. These cases also live on the Mohs case-photo page.
Real surgical photography ahead
These are unretouched photos from actual Mohs surgeries, including the open surgical site after cancer removal and stitches during healing. They're medical, not gory — but if you'd rather not see mid-surgery photos, the Mohs overview shows only before-and-healed comparisons.
