Can a skin graft be done after Mohs surgery and Rhinoplasty? (photos)

Nice945443Feb 9, 2022
Had skin cancer on left nasal ala (neurofibroma) and a section of nostril was removed in 2019. In 2021 had rhinoplasty to adjust the non- cancer side; straighten septum (nearly full blocked on one side); remove small hump; reduce turbinates (chronic sinus infections); reduce bridge; lift tip for more feminine profile. Nose function is perfect now and appearance is improved however the Mohs surgery side is still smaller and notched up.

At only six months postop, I would advise you to wait a full year before considering a revision surgery. Your nose is most likely still healing, and the tip is the area that remains swollen for the longest period of time. Nonetheless, I do see that you might be developing excess scar tissue on...
