The BCC is on my upper lip slightly left of my nostril. I also have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine every night. The mask is the pillow type which fits into each nostril but also covers the area just below my nose. My question is after surgery will I have to stop using the CPAP machine? Thanks very much for your response.
I had Mohs Surgery 2 days ago on my upper lip area. I received stitches & I was told to keep the area moist with Vaseline & covered to prevent scarring & help the healing process. The problem is that I can't get traditional bandages or gauze to stick. Can I use liquid bandage over the stitches & Vaseline? I would really appreciate the advice. Thank you so much!
I had Moh's surgery on upper lip a few years ago and the surgeon that performed the surgery did a good job. However, a lot of upper lip tissue was removed, and now I'm left with a asymmetrical upper lip. You can see it both with a closed mouth as well as when I smile. What procedures can I look into to fixing my mouth by getting back symmetry and plumping up my lips so they're sexy? I'm very self conscious about my mouth/smile because of deformity. Pictures attached.
I had MOHs surgery done on my upper lip under my left nostril. It was done about 3 months ago. The scar is hard and super puffy. I am devastated. I cry every day I look at it. It's a huge lump and very noticeable even with pounds of makeup on. This can't be normal? Did something happen in healing process and is reconstructive surgery ever covered by insurance after removing skin cancer and not healing properly!?
I had Mohs surgery on the 3rd of July just above my upper lip & the repair involved stitching in and around the lip. I was expecting some swelling but not what I see this morning. My lip is 4 or 5 times normal size & I still have a day or so to go for max swelling (according to my instruction sheet). I see nothing for me to do as far as swelling. Is this normal or should I be looking at a ER visit.
How long might it take for the swelling in the upper lip area take to go down? How long should I stay away from exercising? Is it okay to walk on my treadmill at a slower pace? What is recommended?
