Hiya

ive just been diagnosed with bcc on my forehead and the consultant is referring me to a plastic surgeon 

just wondering if anyone else has been through this and can offer any advice 

  • Hello Sugar

    I am 2 weeks post scalp excision and thigh skin graft. You may not need this though depending on the size  being removed. My advice would be:

    • To not look at too much on other sites
    • Be kind to yourself
    • Let people help you
    • Listen to your body following any procedure
    • Try relax whilst you are recovering
    • Eat well and keep hydrated

    Using meditation apps helped me at times alongside reading and catching up on things I have always wanted to watch. I hope things go well for you Blush

  • Thankyou so much for your kind reply and helpful advice 

    I had a scc removed from the side of my face three years ago by excision so just a bit worried that I’ve been referred to a plastic surgeon for this one and what the procedure will be
