Scars to Expect from Mole Removal?

May 16, 2009
Asked By:cinboxler in Fall River, MA

I am getting about 10 moles removed from my face. I have made an appointment with a general surgeon and am very anxious about scarring. I am not sure what the scars would look like (would they look worse then the moles?) The doctor said there is a chance there might be scarring but could be covered with make up and less noticeable then the moles. He also mentioned they would need stitches. So I guess my question is typically do moles leave minimal scars that are usually unnoticeable or are they noticeable? I just do not want my face to look like I was in a car accident or something of that nature.
