I have a mole on my left cheek that is hopefully easily removable. My concern is that there are a few hairs growing out of it that I tweeze. Their growth will probably impede healing, so they would need to be removed. Will they be removed via the mole removal, or do they grow so deeply that a separate procedure is required?

You should save up money and have your mole removed by a board certified plastic surgeon or surgical dermatologist. It is well worth the moderate expense of doing it properly since an inappropriate removal can leave you with a permanent scar.
