I have a mole around 7mm right on my cheek. My dermatologist told me that I need to remove It through surgery, and I will get stitches on my face. The problem is that my wedding is 5 weeks after the surgery. would I be able to cover the scar with makeup? I would like to have it remove it before the wedding but I am afraid that the aspect of the scar at that point would be worst. any pictures of face mole removals before and after a month of the surgery??

Hi Miss RN,
Dermarolling/microneedling can help with the healing process after RF. However, it is very important that you consult with your doctor who performed the RF treatments. Any dermarolling you do should be part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It is important that you have healed...
It looks like that mole would be successfully removed by cutting it flush with the skin (shave removal). To get it to heal nicely, it often helps to blend the edges with light electrodessication or laser. No stitches would be required.
