I've gone to two doctors w/my pathology report and have heard two different answers.
Doctor A said that I would have to go to an out patient center to get my surgery done and would be put under something called twilight. The scar would be about roughly 2 inches wide (kind of eye shaped). Much bigger than I anticipated and the proceedure itself seems more complicated than I would of thought for a small mole. Healing time would roughly be 2 weeks.
Doctor B said that he'd do the procedure in his office and would only cut around the moles edge and would only require two stiches. He made it seem like it was no big deal and that I should be ok after that.
Given the information I provided from my pathology report, which doctor is correct? Do you advise that I go to a third doctor for their opinion? I feel like I'm getting two completely different responses regarding my surgery. I know my mole has to come out but it's just a matter of what is necessary. Obviously, the smaller scar the better but I want to do what is right.
