Basal cell carcinoma - are there any procedures I could try to avoid disfiguring?

KAK77
I have had a dry scaly spot on my eyebrow for years which I have always been assured by dermatologists that is was pre-cancerous spot. Biopsy done in April revealed basal cell carcinoma and was told I should get Mohs. Since it is in my eyebrow I will probably lose most of my hair and have a large scar. Are there any non surgical procedures I could try to avoid facial disfiguring?
