The surgeon will advise you on how to take care of the wound, when you are back at home. You will be able to leave after a short while.
You can also have the mole cut off. The surgeon will use a scalpel to cut out the mole. The surgeon will cut around the mole and the depth and radius that he cuts at will depend on his concern about possible cancer of the mole.
The surgeon cuts deep and wide to eliminate the possibility of cancerous cells infecting or spreading to other areas. You will be stitched up after the process. Sometimes stitches that are dissolved by the body are used. Then there are times when you will have conventional stitches and the surgeon will give you a date to come back and have them removed.
Surgeons always advise people to be aware of their bodies. If you notice anything that seems strange on your body, you need to consult your doctor immediately.
