Mole Removal after breast augmentation

Wjb44Mar 3, 2017
I would like to have a mole looked at that is located on my scalp and seems to be of concern. I have a history of dysplastic nevi (2) and my sister has had melanoma. I just had a breast augmentation 1 month ago. I am wondering if a biopsy or full excision of the mole , even though on my scalp, could lead to possible infection of the implants so soon after. ?? I am also wanting to get Botox and filler soon. How long do I have to wait for that?
