Lasers can do this, as well as excising the mole

Philip Young, MD answers: Inexpensive, low-risk method of removing a mole near the eye?

I want to have one near my left eyelid excised asap.

There are many lasers out there that can remove your mole including q switched lasers anywhere from 650nm to 1200nm. Intense pulse light is another possible way but with less evidence and experience out there. Excising the mole is the most assured way to fully remove it but with the cost of a visible incision. If done right you can make that incision look super however. One thing to think about if there is any recent change to the mole you should consider getting it looked at by a pathologist and hence biopsied.

Consulting a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon would be something that I recommend. We specialize in the face and are highly qualified to help you with this.
