What Can I Expect From Mole Removal Recovery By Excision? Hello, I went to a plastic surgeon to see my mole and he suggested me to remove it by excision. I am worried about the recovery time because I dont want to go to my job with a big cut. My mole isn't big , its medium size and its in my face. How much time will it needs to heal? What will be the size of the wound after the surgery? Bigger than my mole?

A: Recovery from Mole Removal

These are all great questions and ones which you should ask to the physician who excises the mole. The face, unlike other areas of the body, heals fairly well and stitches can be removed 7 days after an excision. They size of the wound is usually a little longer than the mole itself and will appear as a line of stitches. We have great bandage materials at our fingertips and thus are able to create very comfortable, effective, cosmetically-tolerable bandages. Every physicians has different bandage and wound care techniques and recommendations and I am sure your physicians will discuss them with you.

Moderately Atypical Nevus with Several Focal Atypia- Do I Need Surgery? How serious is it? Should i get surgery for it?

A: Treatment of Atypical Moles (Nevi)

For all moles that have moderate to severe atypia I recommend an excision with sutures to achieve clear margins. I also recommend that patients with a history of atypical moles do full body skin examinations every six months at a minimum. A board-certified dermatologist will best be able to take care of the excision (surgery) and perform your twice yearly full body skin examinations. The good news is that once this mole is properly excised with clear margins, you do not need to pursue further treatment.

Will Local Anesthesia to Remove a Mole On My Chest Puncture my Breast Implant? 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?

A: Lesion excision and implant puncture Injection of local anesthesia to numb the breast area for removal of a skin lesion will not be in the area of the implant cavity and will not result in implant rupture. If it very important, however that you tell the dermatologist or other surgeon who is injecting the anesthesia about the presence of the implant. If the lesion isn't superficial and is being biopsied to rule out breast cancer, care can be taken and if you are really concerned, you can have your plastic surgeon perform the biopsy.
