Mole removal scar. Will it improve? (Photo)

I am unsure why this is such a large excision, but the suture line looks good.  Typically we review all our excisions with the parents prior to removal.  I also remove these with lasers to limit scars especially in children, unless there is concern of cancer.  My suggestion is dermaflage and sunprotection now, and to start laser treatments in a few weeks (3-6 weeks after suture removal).  Best, Dr. Emer.

Optimally, you should have been shown how big of a scar to expect.  I generally like to tell my patients what to expect with mole removal.  That being said, yes, the scar will definitely improve with time.  It takes a full year for scars to mature.  In the mean time, she needs super strict sun protection for the scar to look its best.  I like a product called BioCorneum because it has silicone (which has the best evidence for scar improvement) and SPF in one cream.  About a week after the stitches are removed, she can massage the area a few times daily with her fingers which will help break up any stiff scar tissue that forms.  Early laser therapy can also be helpful with scars - Pulsed dye laser can help with the redness.  Overall, I'm sure you weren't expecting such a big scar, but measures can be taken to make it look its best.  Faces heal well, and kids heal well! 

The incision should have been marked on the skin before the excision and you as the mother should have approved it or not. A board certified plastic surgeon should and would have done that. Now just wait and see. it takes about one year for the scar to mature. Meanwhile consult a plastic surgeon for scar care (Silicone gel sheeting), possible laser resurfacing, several over a long period of time and the right timing for that.
