Medical Video: Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy on Howard's Moles!
Many people feel insecure when they have large moles that adorn their faces. Therefore they chose to get rid of these moles to interfere with the operation route. Are you among those who intend to operate a mole? Before that, know how the procedure is carried out and what possibilities might arise as a risk for this cosmetic surgery so that you can prepare yourself.
Who needs a mole operation?
Actually, as long as your mole shows no sign of skin cancer (like growing bigger and changing color),You don't need to throw away a birthmark that is often called this beauty mark. However, if you are not confident about the black birthmark that you have, you can just do the surgery to eliminate it.
If indeed you intend to do so, you should discuss it and consult your doctor first. Because even if you don't need to prepare anything before a mole surgery, just like other medical procedures the operation of moles certainly has its own risks.
Then, what are the risks that might occur when operating a mole?
Such as medical operations in general, although not including severe surgery but this action certainly has risks. The risks that occur depend on how the surgical procedure is performed and the condition of the mole to be removed.
Surgery for moles generally does not cause pain, because surgeons will definitely anesthetize areas that need surgery. But alergy to anesthesia and damage to the nervous system are risks that may occur, although this is very rare. Therefore, make sure first with your doctor if you have allergies to certain drugs.
Another risk is the appearance of scars. The decision whether or not the former surgical wound must be stitched will also depend on the condition of each patient. If indeed the mole has deep roots, the doctor will make deep wounds as well. This makes the surgical wound must be covered with thread stitches.
After a mole surgery, you may have a bigger and more visible wound than your previous mole. Although using drugs specifically intended to remove wounds, in some cases the scars of the surgery may not disappear at all.
What is done after surgery the mole is successful?
If the surgical wound is not sewn, then you just have to wait for the wound to heal. Surgical wounds require time to recover about 1-2 weeks. During this time, you must ensure that the area around the operating wound is clean so that it does not get infected.
Meanwhile, if the surgical wound uses stitches, the next thing to do is to remove the suture. The surgical wound will be removed about 8-14 days after the surgery is performed. Therefore, you must keep the wound dry, not exposed to water, and clean.
In addition, you can also eat foods that are high in protein, vitamins and minerals, which can make the surgical wound dry and heal quickly. Do not let the surgical wound open if it is not yet time to remove the suture.
Some time after surgery, maybe you will be given a drug that is used to ward off infections from bacteria. However, to be sure you should ask directly to the doctor who handles you, whether you need to take the drug or not.
