Post-op Expectations After Squamous Cell Lip Mohs Surgery?
Willameads Mist of the SunJun 4, 2011
I had mohs surgery 1 week ago and plastic re-constructive surgery followed.It was for my upper lip which was diagnosed as malignant squamous cell carcinoma. What should I expect as far as pain postoperatively? I am having sharp, stabbing pain, worse than before surgery.Is this normal?I had a grandmother who died of brain cancer and a mother who died of lung cancer. A Dr. Edward Parry did the Mohs surgery and a Dr. Bassichis did the plastic surgery. I live in Roswell, NM, they are 500 miles away.
