Mole Removal Under Eye? (photo)

November 8, 2012
Asked By:carloshehe

I have a mole about 1 inch below my right eye. I went to my dermatologist and she told me stitching it up would be the best choice as it would not grow back. Since the mole is a bit close to my eyelid, would my face look different after? since stitching up means pushing skin together, . My biggest concern is having my face slightly altered or changed in some way even after the stitches are removed. (I would not mind if it is a tiny change but not a big change that'll make me look really different)
