How many moles is it safe to have removed at one time?

Question

I have a number of large moles on my back (around 7), which are raised and large; 2 on my chest and 1 on my thigh. I have consulted a plastic surgeon who has agreed to remove them, through excision, but was wondering if it's safe to have so many removed at once (in terms of infection and pain)? In addition, as the majority are on my back, will having the moles removed lead to a feel of tightness?

It is safe to have this number removed at once.  Means just one down time period and yes you will have some discomfort but only for a couple of days.   It should not be tight.  The infection risk is minimal.  I would regularly do a large number at a time with no consequences.  It is just dependenent on the patient and the only matter is if done under local that each mile will require some local Anaesthetic and this could be uncomfortable.
