Q: Eyelid Mohrs surgery question

I have been reading all these posts about the mohrs surgery. I am having a biopsy in a couple weeks for a spot on my lower eyelid that wont go away and my opthalmologist thinks it is cancer and said she would want to do the mohrs surgery on it if it is. After seeing these posts I'm even more scared than I was when I read about 2 inch scars and nickle deep incisions and here we are talking about my eye. Is there anyone out there who has had eyelid Mohrs surgery and if so how bad was the experience and the scarring? I'm a 48 yr old single female and scared to death of my appearance afterwards. I just found this site so not sure if this is the correct place to post this question.
