Length of removal basal cell carcinoma

I know this question is vague because we all would have different situations and seriousness. But what I’m scared of the most right now is how long the removal takes. Sore is 1 1/2cm x 2 cm. Do I have to lay on my stomach? I have chronic pain on my right side from an unrelated surgery and can only lay on that side. I don’t know how I’ll handle laying on stomach if needed.

  1. your question is valid, I can understand why it can be the source of some fear. This should be something that your surgeon, or their office can clarify for you. Are you having Mohs, or an excision? I hope you are able to get some answers that bring some peace of mind💙. All my best, Julie (team member)
