2 Year Mole Removal Update

So after a rocky start, the end result isn't too shabby. Eventually figured out that one of the sutures under the skin was not absorbing like it should and was causing all the irritation. Eventually it worked itself out to the point where I could remove it myself with a little tug. Also Dr Mustoe injected my incision once healed with a steroid to help reduce the inflammation. This picture is with no makeup, so when I'm wearing my face it is even less noticeable.

Almost 4 weeks

Sitting almost at 4 weeks. It kinda stinks. I now have 2 puckers, instead of 1 light colored mole. I think the internal stitch is making its way to the surface, so in another week I will follow up with the surgeon to see what my next steps are.....

Stitches out for 4 days

Still has not magically turned into a beautiful thin scar :( considerable puckering. I'm wondering if the incision was not made long enough to accommodate the size of the mole. There is a tender hard bump under the inferior part of the scar (maybe the internal stitch didn't dissolve). I'm doing the silicone scar sheets 24 hours/day to hopefully flatten it more. I can say I'm pretty disappointed so far, especially since I haven't had any issues with my previous dozen excisions.
