5 weeks post bilobed skin flap reconstruction. Swelling or thickness problem? (Photo)
Post Mohs above the ala on my nose, a plastic surgeon did a bi-lobed skin flap, borrowing skin from my face, just adjacent to my nose. The bi-lobal skin flap, almost 5 weeks later, either remains swollen or is actually just much thicker than the skin on my nose. Will this difference in skin thickness, as seen in the attached photos, reduce to a reasonable level so that I will simply be left with scars, or will this difference in texture and thickness remain, possibly requiring another surgery.
