I am waiting to go for 2 biopsies one on nose site of previous bcc, and another on forehead. Has any one had experience of skin grafts on the nose being successful or not, as I was going to go privately and ask for a skin graft, as the two I have seen on other people look very good. Mine that was just stitched five years ago on the end of my nose looks unsightly still. Anyone that has had experience of either  would be helpful.

  • Hi

    Whilst I haven't had surgery on my nose, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. There are lots of people who have posted in the group who have either had skin grafts on their nose or just a straight excision. 

    While you're waiting for replies, if you type 'skin grafts on the nose' into the search bar at the top of the screen you'll find lots of previous posts on this topic. Clicking here will take you straight to them. You could have a read through and respond to any of the more recent ones if you think the poster could help you further.

    If you then do the same with wording something like 'excision on nose' you should find plenty of posts about that as well.

    Do you have a date for your surgery yet?

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
