Any surgery can leave a mark, some heal better than others. I frequently do either laser or radiowave removal of moles with no scars or shave removal with laser. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with expertise in scars and mole removal. Best, Dr. Emer.
Face sutures can come out in 5-7 days. Scar gel should be used after for at least 3 months followed by laser treatments if needed. Best, Dr. Emer.
