I was born with a very cute birth mark on my right cheek that I used to be quite fond of up until the last 8 years or so. I actually used to pencil it in sometimes to make it more dramatic. As I grew older, my birth mark became not as cute. It started to protrude more and starting losing its color. I know call it a birth mole and was not going to wait for hair to start growing out of it so I decided to get it removed. That said, included in the price was a couple of other little things on my face that Dr. Spiegel removed as well. Also, it was an hour and a half drive from my house to Dr. Spiegel's office, he did the procedure the same day as the consultation so I would not have to drive back there again. I really appreciated that. I had a bandaid on my forehead where I had a spot lasers and a small bandage on the mole that was surgically removed along with dissolving stitches. I was told to let them fall off on their own so that's what I did. The bandaid on my forehead fell off a few days ago and the small bandage where the stitches were just fell off this morning. It looks great! I apologize for the shine in the picture, but I have neosporin and scar cream on it.

Did the doctor mention the size of your mole? I have one in the same place, and thought it was cute, until I realized how big it was getting and that if I didn't do anything about it, it would take over my whole cheek! I had a surgeon say he doesn't recommend this because of the scarring (the bigger it is, the bigger the scar.) Do you notice much of a scar? Can you easily cover it with makeup?

The scar is pretty much invisible. EASILY covered with makeup. I don't know how big it was, I'll find a picture where you can see my whole face and that should help put it in perspective for you

Thank you for your post! How long did the procedure take?
