MOHs surgery
I had bcc in my face in 2005. My dermatologist did the surgery and promised me it was successful with clear margins. It came back in the same place in 2008. My new dermatologist, in 2008, referred me to a plastic surgeon who I thought did a brilliant job. While I've had other skin cancers since, that one on that part of my face has stay away since 2008.
