Removal of moles

What is mole removal?

An aesthetic correction of the removal of a mole on the face or other places on the body is a minor operation under local anesthesia.

The procedure is as follows:

• Assessing the nevus by color, size and shape
• Marking the nevus small oval around the mole/nevus
• Disinfection and local anesthesia
• Removal of the nevus and closure with sutures

After 1 week the stitches in the face are removed. The rest of the body such as: back, leg, arm, abdomen the stitches are removed after 2 weeks

Who is eligible for mole removal?

In principle, anyone can qualify for nevus removal.

Dr. Esther Mesters is reluctant to perform an aesthetic removal of a nevus in the decollete area because this can often result in wide scars.

Scar:

Initially the scar is red for the first 3 months and the scar fades after 3 months
