Most mole removal treatments do not require any more anesthesia than just novacaine or lidocaine injections. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
It would be extremely unusual for an adult patient to need to be put to sleep for removal of a mole. Normally, this procedure can be done just with local anesthesia in a surgeon's office. If a mole needed to be removed from a child or infant for some reason, then it might be necessary to put the patient asleep for the procedure.

Your surgeon will know best about aftercare after the procedure. In my practice, I ask patients to use Plato's Scar Serum twice daily once the skin is healed over. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Superficial biopsies have a finite risk of mole recurrence. If you are concerned about the mole coming back, it may be a good idea to have it recut. Best. Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Moles can traumatize kids very easily when their classmates tease or make fun of them. The sooner you get it removed, the less potential problems your daughter may have.
