Mohs Surgery and Forehead Flap Nose Reconstruction - Flap Surgery
This video is intended to help others who may be going through this process of Moh's skin cancer removal and the forehead flap nose reconstruction. I was unable to find much information about it before I underwent this procedure so here is my experience. I had been to 3 doctors who told me the sore on my nose was not cancer so the area of my nose that was affected was significantly larger than it would have been if treated sooner. The first step was removing the cancer. I went to Dr. Ammonette in Memphis, TN. This was done in his office with a local anesthetic. I have to tell you that the most painful part of this whole ordeal was the novicain injections. They about put me on the roof, but after that, no pain at all. What they do is take the area that is the doctor's best estimate of the area with cancer. They biopsy that tissue and see where they need to take additional tissue. That process is repeated until the biopsy is clear. This helps them take the minimal amount of tissue. I was sent home that day with just a bandage over my nose. It did not hurt. It looked awful but I took a shower and cleaned it out very well and headed to my surgeon for the reconstruction the next morning. The reconstruction was done by Dr. William Young of the Otolaryngology and Facial Surgery Center located in Jonesboro, AR. They have a wonderful staff by the way. The surgery was done under general anesthesia so I can't tell you anything about that part but I really don't remember anything ...
