I just put in a long post about my scc's. the one on my hairline was a huge opening with long cuts so that it could be closed to heal smoothly. It always suprises me how relatively painless the recovery is compared to how it looks. My dermo MOHS surgeon at Mayo did an excellent job even though it required 6 passes to get it all. Took 3 months to close up enough for 20 radiation treatments. It was red for a few weeks and now almost a year later, not noticeable. My hairline is actually straighter than it was although my forehead a big higher. I'm pleased and thrilled at what was done.
