Anyone have Mohs surgery on side of nose

Yes, I had basal cell carcinoma on the part of the nose where the nostrils flare out. This was about 6-7 years ago. After removing the cancer, the doctor used a skin graft from the crease in my cheek. Once it healed, you could notice it unless, you look for it. And the only person who will do that is you. Now, even I can’t notice it and, let’s face it, you have to have it removed. Mohs is the way to go. I just had it done on the outside corner of an eyelid. Same result. Good luck!!
