Layered Wound Closure, Face/Nose/Lips, Mid-Range Size

California rates for HCPCS 12054

This is a layered surgical repair of a cut or wound on the face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips, or inside the mouth, closing both the deeper tissue and the skin surface for a longer wound in this area. Compared to simple stitching, a layered closure also brings together the tissue beneath the skin, which supports better healing and a finer scar in a visible area. It is typically used after a traumatic injury or removal of a growth that leaves a sizable wound.
