In general, people will receive a flap to their nose after removing a skin cancer. These procedures are not associated with vision loss. I hope that this helps and I wish you well. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. As long as you are able to obtain medical clearance, then the odds of permanent visual changes are very unlikely. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
