My concern is the lump on my nose above the skin flap. Is it still going to flatten? I know it's too early to tell but I want to know what I can do or can be done. Photo taken 5 weeks after surgery. Is my skin flap healing well? Thank you for your help.
A local flap was used for reconstruction to give me my moustache back but the hair growth would appear to have slowed down and on one part there is no hair. Will this recover, I would be devastated if it would not have any hair on it, that would be the worst outcome. First photo is two weeks after surgery, second one is now.
I had a forehead flap done September 19 (I initially signed for an other surgery but during the procedure they find out that couldn't do it). Now after 4 weeks of reconstruction I still look horrible. I would like to have your opinion if this will get better and in what laps of time. My surgeon sent me doing massages. I also have hair growing on the flap, he said that they will stop growing, no laser are needed. I feel terrible and can't understand how the out come could be something nice.
I had mohs procedure on my nose 4 weeks ago. A skin graft from my ear and it is less than 2mm. The scab is hydrated and smaller every day however it is lifting at the edge. Will the scab will eventually fall off? if yes, at what point (5/6 weeks?) would I expect scab to fall off? Do you think I should be alarmed that it is lifting at edge and contact dr?
I am 5 weeks post Mohs surgery on my nose. I had a flap closure with 18 stitches that were removed at 10 days with no issues. The S shaped scar is red/white in the middle and a little bit raised at this point. When is it safe to use a skin colored makeup (with SPF) to cover up the redness when going out? Also, is Biocorneum helpful for flattening out the scar faster?
Here's a picture for weeks out from Moes on nose surgery What can I do to make this look much much better? Two weeks I get the dog ear removed. The scar looks so jagged and it stays red and purple. When will the scan pulled from I settle down and look natural?
I am very concerned about asymmetry of my nose as well as the fact that the alar opening on the operated side is now about 50% closed and the nostril is much lower. I was told that de-bulking the scar or steroid injections may be necessary in a few months and I haven't really read much on that being done. What is your opinion, please. Should I see my surgeon or a plastic surgeon for this? I'm not thrilled about having anything else done without any sedation either to be honest. Thank you.
