Maybe it will be different for you, especially depending on how many times they had to go back to get more tissue (mine was done on the first try), but that scar will always be a reminder to you to put on sunblock or wear a hat and more importantly, it can make you grateful that the cancer you had was curable. I had an uncle who died from melanoma so whenever I notice my scar I feel lucky that I caught the cancer right away, that it was basal cell, and that I learned how to be careful in the sun at such a young age.

Don’t worry too much even if it does show up a lot at first. The scar takes a long time to fade. If I remember correctly, it takes six months or even a year before it finally stops healing and changing. Also, there is so much they can do these days reconstructive-wise that I’m sure you will look fine. I hope you are happy with how it turns out!
