Tight and Lopsided Skin Flap Reconstruction Results

May 16, 2009
Asked By:KrisM in 98117

I had basal cell carcinoma on my nose, and I had Mohs surgery to remove it. The following day, I had plastic surgery to close it up. The plastic surgeon did a skin flap reconstruction from skin from my nose, and it pulled skin from my left eye. It's extremely tight and looks lopsided and makes my eye really tired. Will it loosen up and even out when the stitches are out?
