Nose is still healing. It is getting straighter, the tip is a little bit rounder, but the nostrils still do not match. No one even notices I had anything wrong with my nose. I will return to surgeon end of Feb to see if my nose will need surgical touch-up.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey.I have been diagnosed with a Basal Skin cancer in virtually the same area on tip of my nose .I am now waiting for Mohs surgery at the RVI Hospital Newcastle U K it has a fantastic newly built Dermatology Department which has a mohs surgical and laboratory facility.From which follows an 18 weeks treatment pathway from when they receive the 1st referral.... often much earlier depending on individual cases... all part of our National Heath Service . I wonder if you realise how much a moral booster it is to have you take us through your journey visually.What a wonderful lady you are thank you again. Best wishes to you and yours. Lorna

Six weeks after MOH's - Dec 23

It's been six weeks since I had MOH's surgery on my nose. I massage my nose every night now for about 10 minutes to try and smooth out the scar tissue from all the incisions. Nose gets a little tender from massaging and a little swollen. Still healing well. Nose still has a curve to it, the end is not uniform, and one nostril is still larger, but overall, I am still happy with the progress, and thankful I still have my nose.
