The update comes after Molly-Mae tearfully revealed her fears surrounding a skin cancer scare due to the mole earlier this month.
Molly-Mae captioned the image: "So this is what I've been up to today...
"Some of you may remember me talking about the mole that was here a few weeks ago on my story.
"Not going to go into too much detail until I have my results back next week but this just goes to show how important getting different doctors' opinions is.
"So relieved to have it gone, I'll keep you all updated.
"I just need to share this because I can't stress the important of this situation enough."
The blonde beauty had also been moved by a a Stand Up To Cancer segment on television about Emily Hayward, who died in 2018 after being diagnosed with skin cancer at the age of 17.
Molly-Mae discussed previous scares, saying: "And I actually found a mole on the back of my calf about a year or so ago and had it checked, obviously I'm so blessed that mine wasn't cancerous, but it just made me so upset that, like, what does she do to deserve that? Who deserves that?''
'It is just the worst thing in the world.
"It's just to comprehend for families that have to go through it, how much of a struggle it must be for people who actually deal with cancer.
"It just broke my heart watching that."
The Love Island 2019 star signed off by urging her 4.8 million followers on Instagram to get professional examinations for any abnormal moles they have.
"Get your moles checked out people!!! It is so unbelievably important," penned Molly-Mae.
"I've had this checked three times now by different consultants just to be sure."
She added: "This just appeared out of nowhere for me and my mum actually noticed it when I was on Love Island through watching me on TV..."
Molly-Mae also shared a boomerang clip with partner Tommy Fury as he brought her flowers following her surgery.
