8 weeks after MOH's surgery on tip of nose

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.

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.

Dr Justin H. Piasecki, MD is very positive, upbeat, tells ya exactly what he can do, all options, and how he can treat, fix etc . I had Basil Cell Carcinoma on the tip of my nose. The first thing Dr Piasecki did was give me pain free injections to numb up my face before both surgeries of removing the cancer and also with the reconstruction. What really amazed me, is that I remained pain free even after both procedures. I'm very impressed with the reconstruction of my nose. Looks far better than I ever could have imagined, and as the swelling continues to go down, my nose continues to improve in appearance. Highly recommend this surgeon.
