I have a nodular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on my nasal ala. It is 5mm across and primarily flat. I will be having Mohs surgery in a couple weeks to remove it. I am a 46-year-old woman, and this is my third BCC The last one was diagnosed 7 years ago. I've had one on my back and one on my shoulder. I am concerned about reconstruction and would like to know what questions you might recommend that I ask my surgeon about it. Thanks!
I'm assuming that this is a histolological diagnosis in addition to the clinical diagnosis(I can't see a biopsy site in your pic). This is a difficult 3-dimensional defect to reconstruct without leaving a bridge or web, and is usually dealt with by a plastic surgeon working with the Mohs surgeon.
