Skin cancer treated on face: How do you deal with going out in public?

I have had multiple surgeries on my face for skin cancer including a graft from my cheek put on my nose which was greatly cut away. During 2020 I wore a mask due to covid and no one noticed. I am now immuno compromised and still wear a mask to avoid cold, flu and covid. No one looks at me strangely with a mask in our society today. I am now facing a second surgery on my upper lip.

I've had plenty of Moh's and other skin surgeries, The last one was over a year ago and on part of my upper lip. I still am bothered by it---- it is very pinched and tight.
About 1/4 of my upper lip is pulled into my mouth, but it doesn't look too bad, but it feels bad. Good luck, I know how you feel about the cancers, a mask is an excellent cover up, Please let me know how you are doing.
