Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is most commonly found on the face due to the high cumulative exposure of this area to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. The facial skin, especially around the nose, cheeks, and forehead, is frequently exposed, making it the predominant site for BCC development. Surgical management requires careful consideration of cosmetic and functional outcomes because of the face’s complex anatomy and visibility. Early detection and precise excision with clear margins are critical to prevent local invasion and recurrence.
