Removal of skin growth

[ajo46]

I had a tattoo done about 2 months ago and next to it about 3cm away was a mole I had removed yesterday I have noticed that when they have pulled the skin to stitch the small area that my tattoo looks stretched so it makes the picture look out of whack once this heals will it make my tattoo look back in shape again?????????

Probably sounds very vain....lol but I paid good money for the tattoo and it did look awesome now its looks like they have made an error in the outline with the stretching

Just wanted to let you know that it has been almost 2 months since it has been removed and my tattoo has just about gone back to normal, I can barely notice it and no one else does either.......YAYA

Hello,
Whether there would be any stitchmarks or stretching of the skin or not depends on the amount of skin they have taken in while stitching the area. If the incision is a deep one then stretching of the skin due to fibrosis may occur. Nothing can be predicted at this stage right now.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Warm regards.
