It hasn’t passed the one year mark yet. I’ll post one when it does (about one month from now).

I paid a few hundred after insurance covered most of it.

Looks great. I had similar surgery a few years ago. I was so self conscious before. Now I don’t think about it.

Thank you so much for posting all your photos. My daughter just had a mole removed on her face about 3 weeks ago and I can see a slight indent. I wanted to ask how your scar looks now. Can you still see any indentation?

Yes, I still have an indent about a year post-op. It’s only visible from certain angles.

My daughter also had a mole removed on her face when she was one month old . She is now 9 and unfortunately was left with a long , about 2 inch scar on her cheek . The redness was on and off for years and now it’s gone but still an indent shown . Also within last year another mole grown on her chin that is getting bigger , darker and raising up . I will look into some options but would hate to scar her again.

I meant 9 years old .

I’m sorry to hear that. My daughter’s scar right now is so red, I can’t bear to look at it. Do you remember how long your daughter’s scar was red for? I’m so worried the redness won’t go away. It’s very stressful to look at. It’s been a little over a month now since her mole removal. And she’s 5 years old.

I’m sorry for the delayed answer. Her scar on her cheek was red for years, I’d say give some time to heal. We went for a laser resurfacing and it was a little better and took some of the redness away . The problem is to find someone that will actually do laser on children at that age . We had to travel to Miami for that . Now at 9 years it’s still slightly red at times and planning on going back for the laser when she gets older . On top of that we had a new big mole on her chin shaved off a month ago that resulted in a bigger red mark that is raised now . I absolutely feel your stress I’m having nightmares and panic attacks constantly.

beautifully healed; you can help the scar evening more,by doing FCO2 LASER or derma-roller.

Hi, thanks for the progress update! My daughter had a mole removed that heals very similar to yours. Do you have a most recent phone of your scar that you can share? I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
