My husband needs a biopsy on his eyelid. The dermatologist (youngest and newest in the practice) is planning to do the biopsy. Because the eyelid is so thin I am wondering if a MOHS surgeon should do the biopsy. Please share your thoughts and experiences regarding eyelid biopsy.
Hi Twanda
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it useful.
I noted your message did not have a reply and wanted you to know it had been noticed. Cannot say we have any experience in this area - perhaps the closest we come would be my wife has had both eyes operated on for cataracts.
Perhaps this question is best put to his doctors but normally decisions like this would be made by a team rather than individuals.
I hope that however the biopsy is done he gets a clear result so that you can work our what to do next.
<<hugs>>

Hi Twanda
I haven't had a BCC removed from my eyelid but I can understand you wanting to find others who have.
I've done a search in the group and found these previous posts which mention biopsies on eyelids. You could have a read through some of them and respond to any of the more recent ones if you wanted to ask the posters any questions.
Let us know what your husband decides to do
Hello Twanda, I had a carcinoma removed from my lower eyelid two years ago.This was done by who i was told by a top surgeon at my local hospital,my eye is now deformed due to the fact she was in a rush to return to her private practice. I would advise the youngest and newest dermatologist will do a first class op,as they have to prove themselves.
