I think 3 weeks is a comfortable cushion for biopsying the lesion before your trip. I would, however, delay the Mohs surgery until after your trip.
Good Luck.

Biopsy before holiday
Bryan K. Chen, MD answers: Going on a holiday after Mohs Surgery?
I have a suspected BCC on my eyelid which was wrongly diagnosed as a recurrent infection. It bleeds occasionally. I am seeing a specialist in three days for a biopsy. If it is BCC will have Mohs Surgery and reconstruction. I estimate I might have had this for up to two years. I'm booked to go on holiday for three weeks shortly after the biopsy. Should I go or stay for the biopsy? I understand that can take two weeks anyway. Thanks!
