Mole Removal Surgery [Part 4- Recovery at 4 Months]

Mole Removal Surgery [Part 4- Recovery at 4 Months]

Hey guys! Today, I will be doing an update on my mole recovery. I’ve gotten quite a number of views for posts related to my mole surgery and many questions in my inbox so I hope this update will be beneficial for some of you guys. 

If you are interested in reading part 1 (Experience, pain level), part 2 (recover at 3rd week), part 3 (recovery at 2.5 months), feel free to click.  

I got my surgery on August 1, so it has been approximately 4 months now since the surgery. In the previous post, I stated that I was going back to the clinic to get a steroids jab to flatten the keloid/hypertrophic scar on my arm which formed after the surgery. I got the injection so scroll down to see the results!

 

Lets do a little recapping...

 Cheek

 3rd week

 2 and a half months

The scar on my cheek after 4 months, nothing was done to it (below)

The scar is less red and concaved. The area does not feel hard. The scar can be easily concealed now.

As you guys can see from the photos, the scar on my arm has flattened almost 80% and the colour is lightening as I speak. The doctor warned me prior to my surgery that the scarring is going to take 5-9 months to lighten up and consistent massaging is good for the scar to soften. 

The improvement looks very mild from afar but when you compare photos together I actually see quite a big improvement. It does take quite a while, but I do think everything is worth it. I can actually cover my scar on my cheek using 1 layer of cream concealer which in my opinion is amazing results. 

I remember I used to tell myself almost every day whenever I look at myself in the mirror ‘I wish there is one day when I can touch my cheek and feel that nothing is there.’ I always thought that was impossible, I didn't have enough courage to do it. 

 You guys may think it’s superficial but I’m proud of myself for going through this. I was always teased when I was young and was called nasty names and although the people teasing may not mean it, it does leave scars emotionally. Even after so many years I can clearly remember how embarrassed and humiliated I felt.  

 

Thank you always for reading, I hope you have a great week ahead. Hopefully this post gave you some help if you are on the fence on getting this surgery or even cheering you up on a rainy Monday evening.
