    3 WEEK MOLE UPDATE

Transcript

The mole has been off for three weeks. So I'm gonna give you guys a little three week update because it's been three weeks since yes, since I got her removed. And it's made me really happy that you guys are loving the updates because, some of you are, like, debating, you know, removing a mole, especially when on your face. It feels so scary because it's like it's it's your face. Obviously, I have no makeup on, but this is what she's looking like three weeks from removal. She is so flat. It's insane. That was one of my biggest insecurities, tier is, like, how much bigger she had gotten the past year. One thing I did notice, which keep in mind, it's gonna take six months realistically for it to fully, fully, fully heal, but it is darker than it was in the beginning. I feel like it's starting to heal, and I actually kinda like how it still looks like I have my mole. Obviously, as it's healing, it's changing. So it is a little more red and a little darker than it was the past few weeks. I'm still putting sunscreen on it. I'm still putting Vaseline on it, anytime I'm not wearing makeup and stuff. But, yeah, I am very happy with how it's healing. I'm curious if it's gonna stay like this or if it's just gonna continue getting lighter. Oh, I still haven't gotten my results. I'm wondering if they tried to call and I just didn't see with all the wedding stuff happening. They said I would find out in a week. But, yeah, overall, I'm super happy. I don't regret getting it removed at all. But, yeah, that's the that's the current update. And I'll let you know once I get the results back from this and the other one that they removed.
