Is it better to have a complete mole removal or partial removal over months?

Asked By:elless1 in Australia, AU

I have a large mole on the lower side of my cheek. The dermatologist said there was the option of removing it over months by removing a small section from the center each time until it was removed entirely. I spoke with a plastic surgeon who said it could be done that way but that they couldn’t do it and I would have to go back to the dermatologist. Could anybody explain if this option is better than having it removed completely at once and why?
