Squamous cell carcinoma, I just had flap surgery on my face
Hi, I am new to this forum. In September I underwent flap surgery for SSC between my nose and lip and was wondering if there are other patients who would be willing to share advice and experience. The graft seems to be doing ok but it is totally numb and feels rubbery and really strange. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I wish I had something to offer. I had SSC on my bottom lip and 3 recurrences—-all removed with shave excision surgeries. But I know that is not what you are dealing with. Sorry. And welcome to the forum! We are happy to have you join us.
