February 2018 I had a basal cell carcinoma removed at the Manchester mohs centre. Recently I have started feeling quite a bit of sensitivity on top of my head beyond the scarline
I had Mohs surgery on forehead 6 months ago, and there is a 3/4 diameter scar that does not seem to heal. The skin on this area is red, raw, and paper thin - it looks like the top layers of skin have never healed correctly. Is this occurrence abnormal for 6 months post -op, and is this type of forehead scar suitable for reconstructive surgery? And, are there other types of non-surgical procedures - derma filler, laser surgery - that could help?
I had bcc on the temple and a forward advancement flap to move skin upward to cover it. Most of my scar is hidden in my hairline now. My right eye was very twisted up on the end during reconstruction......and extremely swollen and mis-shapen. 6 months later my eye is still really weird. Is this normal? Is this a lymph drainage issue? Will this correct itself in the next 6 months? Could leftover stitches material in my head be making me keep swelling? I hide behind glasses now. Thanks.
Before Mohs Surgery 6 mos. ago my nose was perfectly straight. I was told Id consult w/surgeon day of surgery, but by the time the surgeon came in nurse had already drawn cuts. I had no options. Center does free revisions, but doctor said SHE was happy with it, so thats that. Nose is no longer straight - side view is like a roller coaster - a large thick bump + a depression. My nostrils are different sizes + my septum warped - hard to breathe. Is there anything I can do? I hate how I look now.
I had a BCC removed on my nasal ala with Mohs Surgery 6 months ago. A rhomboid flap was used to repair it. The flap has been raised from the beginning and my nose does not look symmetrical. The crease cannot be seen on the right side because of the elevated flap and there is also a bony protrusion just to the right of the tip that shows as a white bump. A shadow and pulled look shows along the bottom edge of the flap. No cartilage was added when repaired. Please offer suggestions. Thanks.
