Due to scheduling, I have my Mohs procedure scheduled on a Wed at 2PM with reconstructive surgery scheduled the following Friday at 11am (almost 48 hrs later). Is that to long of a wait? Thanks very much, George
The key thing is to have the reconstruction performed by the physician that you or your Mohs surgeon feels is most capable of performing the repair. Waiting 24-48 hours shouldn't be an issue, but it would probably be best to be taking antibiotics during that time to decrease the possibility of infection. Also, it should be clear who you should contact in that period if you have any problems or questions (i.e. the Mohs surgeon or the surgeon performing the repair). Talk to your doctors about this. Best of luck.
My Neck Seems to Sag on Side Where I Had Mohs on my Nose 6 Weeks Ago. Is This Common?
Your description of a sagging neck after Mohs surgery on the nose is very unusual and difficult to explain anatomically. I suppose one option is that you have some residual swelling that has gradually drifted downward due to gravity and is now causing some swelling or sagging in your neck. The best option is to return to the doctor who performe your surgery and discuss the situation. If he or she doesn't give you a satisfying answer or the problem persists, it doesn't hurt to seek a second opinion.
for basal cell, the flap has turned black ........ normal or not?
The best option is to see the physician who performed the procedure. The location of the discoloration around the distal edge of the flap would suggest possible vascular compromise. In that case the flap may develop partial- or full-thickness necrosis, but other options are possible such as ecchymosis (bruising) or infection. The doctor who performed the procedure should be able to give you a firm answer as to the etiology of the discoloration and treatment options.
