What Kind Of Treatment If Required For Complete Cure Of Skin Cancer On Upper Lip?

I have been diagnosed with a skin cancer on my upper lip area (under my nose) A surgeon cut some out but said he didn t get it all and he wants to schedule a time with a pathologist present. My concern is it s on my face and shall I inquire to have it done by a more specialized surgeon specializing more on the face? Someone who does this more often? A bigger Hospital perhaps?
