I just had a WLE yesterday afternoon for stage 1 melanoma mole on my upper chest. I know some tightness is normal, but I’m surprised at how tight the area feels. I’m not sure if it’s the stitches or the pressure bandage or both, but I can’t actually straighten my neck all the way when sitting/standing, because of how tight everything feels. The nurse didn’t seem concerned about this when I stood up and had to be hunched over after the procedure… I guess I’m just feeling nervous about how well it will heal if it’s so tight I can’t fully lift my head.

Anyone have a WLE in a similar area and able to share their experience?
