Recovery from large Mohs surgeries with skin grafts typically involves gradual healing over several months, with swelling and changes in appearance being normal parts of the process. The combination of surgery and follow-up testing can feel overwhelming, and many community members find it helpful to connect with others who understand the emotional challenges that come with this journey.
