Suture Indents - Looks Like A Dogs Ear After Excision I had 2 mole excisions done a about 2 1/2 months ago. One was on my nose and the small mole was under the skin. I did not know what it was until biopsy report. That excision became infected while the sutures were in and sutures were removed at about 4 days. I now have some suture indents still and a bit of a "dogs ear" at the top of the site. My question is are the suture marks likely permanent at this point or is there still a possibility of them resolving?

A: Scar improvement

This is a great question. Because you are only 2.5 months out you should continue to see improvements over the next 6 months. If you are still displeased with the results at this time return to the physician who did the procedure. He will possibly be able to off you some options for improvement such as laser treatments of re-excision. I hope this helps you.

Kindest regards,

What is the Best Way to Get a Raised Mole Removed from my Chin?

A: Mole Excision

This is a great question. A mole in this area can be removed via a small excision running parralel with the natural lines and contours of the face. This type of procedure is usually performed in the office with a local anesthetic and most individuals have little to no pain afterwards. With time the final result will be a thin white line that would be hardly noticable.
