Hi! I had my 3rd Mohs surgery in same spot, left nostril to remove bcc a yr ago & a full thickness skin graft & bone cartilage added to support my nostril. I'm still feeling zaps of pain and continuous burning daily, even though there's nerve damage. It doesn't feel normal, as my 1st two Mohs I didnt have any burning or pain after only weeks. I'm worried there's still cancer in there. And how would I even know? I cant get a straight answer from Derms or my surgeons. I worry daily, what can I do?
Before Mohs Surgery 6 mos. ago my nose was perfectly straight. I was told Id consult w/surgeon day of surgery, but by the time the surgeon came in nurse had already drawn cuts. I had no options. Center does free revisions, but doctor said SHE was happy with it, so thats that. Nose is no longer straight - side view is like a roller coaster - a large thick bump + a depression. My nostrils are different sizes + my septum warped - hard to breathe. Is there anything I can do? I hate how I look now.
Hi, I have a small ish 7mm x 4mm white patch on the top of my nose near the tip, derm says she thinks its nothing. Later I notice inside my nose in the top of the tip, I have a open type sore that bleeds... I've treated it with naseptin from the doctor, it seems to heal then come back (not gone in 6 months). Im worried this is a type of BCC as its not healing, bleeding and seems directly below my white patch. Ive read its common to have two instances of it. Is it possible to have it inside?
Did I really need twilight sleep and a surgery center to fix my defect? I had a BCC on my nostril. It was three layers deep but in one small part, 4 layers. My Mohs surgeon did not want to do the repair and sent me to a plastic surgeon. He did a graft from behind my ear and put cartilage around the rim. It does sound complex. Did I really need to be knocked out at a surgery center?
I had a bilobed nose flap and it is puffy where it looks like flap was. But my concern is the nostril flare. Did he pull too tight? What are the actual surgeries or procedures to fix the nostril distortion? My profile looks like a different person. I am young and I heal well.
