ABSTRACT

Mohs micrographic surgery is the most adequate surgical technique in the treatment of malignant skin tumors located on the face and scalp. It allows the complete exeresis of the lesion and the analysis of one hundred percent of the margins, with a reduction of local recurrence; however the procedure may generate functional as well as aesthetic damage; in order to enhance postsurgical sequelae there has been used diverse treatments including the application of silicon patches, topical corticosteroids, dermal fillers or the use of ablative lasers.
We report a case of a 62 years old female that after the exeresis of squamous cell carcinoma in the inferior lip with Mohs micrographic surgery, presents a scar with an esthetic sequel and feeding limitation; she received combined treatment with fractional carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser and hyaluronic acid fillers with excellent results.
