I'm not sure how large the area was that had the MOHS procedure , so if it was a large and deep area - then, yes, based on your body's healing that might be acceptable.  that being said, i assume you are being checked periodically so the question should go (by phone or in person) to the surgeon or dermatologist who performed the procedure.
