Might be a disclaimer but said my nose would look different...which is bothersome. Basal is at very tip of nose which is most difficult repair. Not sure what to do.

I had MOHS surgery 3 places on my face 4 years ago and none has returned. The worst was my nose all over it. It took 3 or 4 layers to get it all but my surgeon after a few weeks took a piece of skin from my face near my ear and did a skin graft to close the wound. No my nose does does not look like it did before but I would likely look worse if the cancer had continued to spread. Another spot on my upper lip and one on my forehead look fine. As my daughter says there are worse things than a few scars at age 77. I am thankful for MOHS surgery. Best wishes on your treatment whatever you choose.
