I'm A Monster!
Jul. 8th, 2011 01:14 pmThe surgeon did a number on me, and then showed me the incision before they dressed it. I now have this sutured 2" vertical curving cut around the outside of my left eye. It was shocking, like something that belongs on Frankenstein's monster. He may have to do a skin graft later. He decided the flap procedure would not have worked, but assured me that what he did was the best cosmetic choice.
Editor's note: The most important thing is that the biopsy shows clear borders (that all the suspicious growth has been removed). This dermatologist is one of the best locally, and he's also striving for a good cosmetic outcome.
