Why would a plastic surgeon choose to not use stitches for a mole excision? I had a consultation not to long ago, and the surgeon specified she wouldn't do the traditional excision method with stitches on the face, and instead would let the wound heal by itself. How is this a possibility?

Answer: Removing a mole wth and without stiches It is very common to remove elevated moles by shaving them off flat with the skin. Although it frequently doesn't remove the entire mole and there is a chance of the mole partially coming back, it doesn't leave a linear scar that occurs after excising the area and closing it with stitches. Both methods are commonly used and generally your provider will pick the one that affords you the best outcome.
