Headache/pressure after MOHS surgery (8/21) on bridge of nose. Is this normal or not? (Photo)

I'd suggest contacting your surgeon, it is common to have pressure and some pain for a few days.  But nothing that is long lasting.  Bad headaches are not common after Mohs, but can occur anywhere on the head surgery is performed.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello emthom33196, Thank you for your question.I am sorry you are experiencing this. It is very common after closing the mohs defect in this area that the muscles get inflamed, irritated, and the tightness of the closure can all lead to headache. I would discuss this with your surgeon and consider if you are ready for ibuprofen after the surgery.  Please confirm this with your surgeon. Good luck, Dr. Shadfar

What you describe can often happen after surgery on the nose, particularly with reconstructive surgery because the skin is stretched to pull the hole closed. I would call your Mohs surgeon to just let them know and they can give you advice on how to handle the headache. We all have different preferences.
