MOHS on ear?

I have a persistent SCC on my ear that was treated by the low dose radiation method last summer, but it has returned. My next option is to cut it out (MOHS).

This is my concern. I don't have much "meat" on my ears and this lesion is on one of those areas. It seems to me that the distance between the skin and the cartilage is very thin. Therefore, if a MOHS procedure is conducted then we will risk cutting a hole in my ear.

Anyone with a similar experience? On the positive side, if I do end up with a hole in my ear then I might just get a piercing to fill it in. My daughters and granddaughters would be proud.
