Fortunately, most procedures heal without problems and these postoperative modifications are not done often.  Always discuss your individual concerns with your surgeon so that any questions you have are addressed.  But remember, it is hard to predict how deep the skin cancer has spread until the Mohs procedure is done so it is often impossible to predict how the scar will ultimately appear until the surgery is done.  I hope this helps take some of the fear and uncertainty out of the Mohs procedure for you.
