Can a Mole Be Removed Without Leaving a Scar?

How Are They Removed?

“Seborrheic Keratoses” are actually the warty growths and a surgeon treats these by either freezing or burning them off but true moles cannot be eliminated from the body by any surgery. There are various types of procedures to remove the moles which are as follows:

• Though this procedure is low effective for most moles but Laser removal is used for very small and light moles noticeable in areas.

• Where the moles are removed by the excision of stitches for deep, dark and large and have high effectiveness in eliminating the mole which does not grow backs.

• Where the moles are removed without the excision of stitches for average sized moles which is not deep embedded into the skin and have medium effectiveness as the moles can grow back which can be removed again.

Besides that the most common method for removing the moles are a shave excision, a punch excision or a regular surgical excision. In the shave excision, the surgeon will carefully and strategically cut of the mole by using a sharp scalpel blade. This surgery is minimally less invasive since the incision made is small and no suturing is needed. In punch excision, the surgery is performed with the help of a small cookie-cutter apparatus, twisting the mole and plugging it out. The last one is by the help of surgery which is only required when the mole is larger than the average size.

Will There Be Any Scar After The Surgery?

If one removes something from the skin, there will be scar. Eliminating moles from chest, shoulders, or any part of the body always has a risk of raised scar formation. The surgical procedure does eliminate but it leaves behind a scar.

The formation of the scar depends and varies from patient to patient and there are various surgical strategies which can be followed to make the scar less visible. Though the scarring depends on several factors which are:

• The location or the treatable area, where shoulder heals longer than the face

• The age of the patient is important since younger skin heals faster than the older skin.

• The health of the patient also a factor since sick patients heals worse than healthy patients.

• How well the patient has been treated and taken care off. A dirty and infected wound will take much time than clean wounds.

What Can I Expect From Mole Removal Recovery By Excision?

During the recovery period, there will be swelling and certain amount of bruising, which generally varies from person to person. The discoloration of the scar will take some time to fade and the sutures will be removed in 5 – 7 days time.
