WORTH IT
I recently had to have a very large atypical mole removed from my face. I am prone to getting these unfortunately and have been left with awful scars that have really hurt my confidence. It is only a few weeks out, and I think this one will heal well thanks to the incredible talent of my dr. The procedure itself was not too painful, and the healing process is going quite well!

Hello,
How much was the removal and how was it removed?

Good morning,
The procedure was paid for by my medical insurance along with my copay/coinsurance of approximately 500...so very inexpensive for a complex surgical procedure. The dr numbed the area, then very carefully excised the mole and sutured it up. The stitches were in for about 1 week. I am not treating it with topical scar cream to assist with fading and keeping the skin smooth. I will be posting before and after pictures soon:)
