Does my eyelid post MOHS surgery look normal? (Photo)

March 11, 2019
Asked By:MGazzana in London, GB

I recently had MOHS reconstruction surgery (hughs flap) on my lower eyelid due to basal cell carcinoma, approximately six months ago. The lower lid is still quite thick and red and I was wondering if it will settle more and the redness will fade? I am quite unhappy with the results and was thinking of seeing another surgeon to have further reconstruction done as I am 26 and this has ruined my confidence. Do you think additional surgery could fix this?
