Does surgery for nose cancer leave you with a hole in your face?

Depends on size: It depends what type of skin cancer and the extent of it. Some tend to be quite superficial and just need minimal reconstruction. Neglected skin cancers tend to be more involved and larger. We fortunately have many reconstructive techniques that can help repair almost any defect we are presented with in collaboration with plastics/ent specialists. http://www.mohspros.com/library/3909/skincancers.

Reconstruction: No, usually nasal cancer defects can be reconstructed extremely well. See a facial plastic surgeon for the reconstruction of complex defects that also involve the nasal passage.
