I had a mole removed and they also put stitches in, I'm getting the stitches out in two weeks. The mole was above my butt and on my waist line.The mole was not that big maybe a size of small eraser . The plastic surgeon made a football incision and sewed it up with stitches. I had a mole their before and the doctor before that shaved off the mole and it came back so that's why I had a surgeon take it out completely .
