I have mole on the inner breast cleavage area and need to have it removed. Is there any chance they will puncture or pop my breast implant by using a small needle to numb to area? I am very worried and don't want to take any chances of them doing this , but also afraid of having skin cancer?
Your safest option is to have a board certified plastic surgeon do the mole excision or better yet, if available, the surgeon who placed your implants could do the biopsy. Either is skilled in knowing the correct depth to place the needle and how to avoid any problems. So I believe your risk should be very low. Incision in this area are known to be prone to hypertrophic scarring, so have your surgeon follow you closely afterward.
I had a shave biopsy to my lower back 4 days ago! Ever since then I have had a dark brown spot in the middle of my biopsy site! What does this mean?
After only 4 days, the darkness in the center may be a scab, or residual mole. Wait until it heals. The pathology report will show if there is any mole left behind. If there is no atypia (abnormality of the cells) you can leave it alone, but if the lesion has an appearance under the microscope suggesting it could turn into melanoma, then the remainder should be removed. Follow up with your doctor to discuss.
