I was telling Dr. Bartholomew about how multiple dermatologists refused to remove the mole from my cheek because it would be too difficult - he responded, "Well, I'm very good at what I do." It's true - he and his staff were super professional and streamlined the whole process. I'm mostly completely shocked by the lack of any scar at all (just discoloration and only two weeks out) - I've had tons of moles removed and am left with either a raised bump (shave removal) or a jagged line (oval removal). He was able to only use internal dissolvable sutures and covered it in skin glue and a butterfly bandage, which stayed on for a little over a week with showering. They gave me two pages on approaches to minimizing the appearance of a scar and my only complaint is that the paper said to start applying ointment day after which was inapplicable for me - and the papers didn't specify when you should start using the adhesive silicon strips so I slapped one on about 10 days after surgery and then panicked when I googled to see you shouldn't start those until 2 to 3 weeks post surgery - the strips instructions also didn't provide a timeline. Fortunately, I was able to remove it without harm through warm water.
