What is the Cost of Mole Removal for the Face?

I have a mole in the center of my nose. I've had it since I was very young. I want to have it removed, but I'm worried about the cost. Could someone tell me approximately how much mole removal on this area would cost?

Cosmetic mole removal

Benign or normal moles on the face are often best removed by shave removal where the mole is removed by shaving it flat with the skin.

For pink or flesh colored moles or nevi, the shave removal is the easiest to heal from and leaves minimal scar or change. The mole may gradually grow back with time (years) but the shave removal may be repeated. I charge... more

Cost of mole removal

The cost of mole removal is quite variable, depending on who performs the procedure (e.g. dermatologist or plastic surgeon vs. a non-specialist), location and size of the mole, whether the mole can be shaved off or whether sutures are required. A typical cost would be $150-$350. Most physicians will reduce the cost if multiple moles are being removed at the same time.
