Varies: It depends on the area and if it was cut out. Restrictions are for prevention of scarring. Discuss with your doctor.

Depends: Obviously, scar revision/mole removal on the hand would require longer rest of the hand than the same surgery on the face. Also, if the scar/mole was quite large and the skin was pulled tightly, more rest is required than if a narrow scar / tiny mole was removed. Ask your surgeon so that he can give you an answer specific to your situation.

Depends: on the location of the scar revision and mole removal, how deep the surgeon had to go to revise the scar, ... You should ask these questions to your surgeon.
