BCC medial canthus

Hi All,

My name is Gillian. I had a BCC on my lowercalf removed in February last year. Three months ago I noticed I had a small crater like Leision on my upper eyelid- corner. Turns out to be a BCC I am having it removed under local anaesthetic in mid September. Followed by plastic surgery to reconstruct. Was ok with that but now it’s getting closer worried about the surgery itself - hate anything to do with the eyes and then scared about how I will look afterwards especially at work. Interested to know of others who have had removal via MOHs under a local and reconstruction and how you are doing? Did you need long off work physically or mentally? 

Best wishes 

Gillian
