Care for the Body, Arms & Legs
Dr. Thomas Hocker and the Advanced Dermatologic Surgery team created these short videos to help you care for your surgical site, understand what is normal during healing, and know when to contact our office.
These are general guidelines meant to supplement the instructions you received at Advanced Dermatologic Surgery on the day of your procedure. If anything here differs from what your care team told you, follow your personalized instructions, and call our office with any questions.
