I had bcc on the temple and a forward advancement flap to move skin upward to cover it. Most of my scar is hidden in my hairline now. My right eye was very twisted up on the end during reconstruction......and extremely swollen and mis-shapen. 6 months later my eye is still really weird. Is this normal? Is this a lymph drainage issue? Will this correct itself in the next 6 months? Could leftover stitches material in my head be making me keep swelling? I hide behind glasses now. Thanks.
I had Mohs done 16 days ago, I had bcc in the corner between my eye and bridge of nose the wound ended up about the size of a cigarette butt. The stitches have been removed and the actual scar looks great, there is still a good size bump under it which I understand. The part I am upset with is the tension it has created, there is a pull on my skin in both directions...up and down from the closed area. They assure me this will go away, Please tell me it will.
I had the mohs procedure done 3 weeks ago for two bccs on the inside bridge of my nose very near the corner of my eye. I had dissolvable stitches and I have been using vasoline and keeping the scar covered. After my follow up my dr said I didn't need to wear the bandage and so I slept without last night and just used vasoline. The swelling suddenly ballooned over night and it is as swollen as it was the first week! Is this normal?!
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?
