Bcc on forehead, worried about facial scarring after surgery

I'm due to have plastic surgery to remove the bcc on my forehead.   I've been told I may need a skin graft or have more than one cut to enable the skin to be closed and there will be a lot of stitches.  I'm worried about how I am going to look.  My family just say I should be pleased the  cancer will be removed,  they don't understand why I'm upset about how it will look.  I'm 70 and have thinning hair so won't be able to create a full fringe to hide the area.  I'm upset with myself at feeling like this, I know this isn't life threatening, I just wish I had someone who understand how I feel.
