Asked By:aafrahs in Saint Paul, MN

I had Mohs repair surgery 2 weeks ago using a flap on my right side of my nose. Healing seems to be going well but I'm still completely numb on the right side of my nose from the tip, up the bridge and the entire area where there is redness,swelling and a hard but palpable mass. Are these normal...symptoms to expect 2 weeks after a repair? It been like this since right just after the surgery and I expected it to be gone by now. My next check up isn't u til the end of April.
