Mohs Surgery + Nose Q&A

I have been DX with basal cell on my nose and current dermatologist recommending MOHS. I am concerned about cosmetic result. Photo is 6 days post biopsy - can beam be localized or would I lose the mustache?

How good is Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy as apposed to surgery?

For the last several months I have had this single red pore near the tip of my nose. It hasn't changed in size or color, and is painless. Is this possibly cancerous? Or something that could cosmetically be fixed?

had mohs surgery about 5yrs ago on nose! cancer came back in same spot! any options!

I had MOHS surgery for BCC on nose with a bilobed flap a week ago sutures came out today and I am returning to work in 4 days. Can I wear makeup to try to conceal redness and scar? The surgeon told me I could use makeup after 48 hours post suture removal - but I have read varying things on this topic . I would prefer not to work with a bandage on nose or with the area so red Thanks

I had Mohs on the bridge of my nose almost 2 months ago. The surgeon used permanent stitches under the skin. I have had the permanent stitches trimmed once already when they were sticking out from under my skin, but I can see and feel them sticking out again now. Could exposed permanent stitches pose an increased risk of infection? What can I do other than going back to have the ends trimmed off again? Is it common practice to use permanent stitches for Mohs on the nose?

I had a SCC removed a week and a half ago. The dermatologist did a delayed repair (5 days after the Mohs procedure). It is now 1 week after the graft and when getting the stitches out today the dermatologist wanted to keep the lower stitches on for another 5 days to make sure that the bottom part of the graft took. He thought it looked dark/shadowy. Is there a reason why the top portion would take faster than the bottom? Is there still a high likelihood that the entire graft will take?

Mohs surgery and flap was done on one side of nose. This is 6 weeks out and though it's a lot better my main concern is the flatness and unevenness of the nostril.

I noticed that the graft is stiff. Is it the way it should be? If so how does it become normal skin? and if not what can be done? I'll be grateful for your prompt answer
