How Much Does Mole Removal Cost?

There are two ways to remove a mole, and they differ in price. Shaving a mole means cutting it off at the skin's surface. The area usually scabs over for a week or so before healing, but in the long run there should be minimal scarring. Shave removal costs around $100 or $200.Excision involves cutting around the mole, removing the entire thickness of skin, and then closing the area with stitches. This will leave a scar, but it is usually an inconspicuous line, and it's less likely for the mole to come back if it is excised rather than shaved. The cost is betwen $300 and $600, depending on the size and location. One final cost is pathology to determine if the mole is cancerous or precancerous. This isn't usually necessary if the mole has been there a very long time. If the mole is new, has changed recently, or has other suspicious features like bleeding, your health insurance should cover the cost of removal and pathology. If you don't have insurance or if you prefer to have a mole sent even when it's being removed for purely cosmetic reasons, then pathology will cost an additional $125-200.

Mole removal cost is highly dependent on the size and time it will take to remove it.   You will also have pathology charges as well.   Best of luck to you! 

Costs for this procedure will really vary by region and surgeon. It will also depend on whether your mole has a concerning appearance or not as insurance may cover its removal if there is a question of whether it is cancerous. How it will be removed will depend on the lesion itself as well as where it is located. The only way to know for sure is to book a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon near you. Best of luck! 

Costs for a surgical excision of moles will certainly vary depending on your location. Things to factor in for the procedure standpoint will be the facility fee, anesthesia fee, and surgical fee. A range in price ~$500-1000/excision is not unreasonable. Cost also depends on the complexity of your case and how much work would need to be done to achieve an aesthetically-pleasing result for you. Good luck!

There are several ways to remove moles.  I believe they heal the best if the mole if removed full thickness and the skin stured closed.  It heals fastest and eaves a minimal scar.
