Cost of Mole Removal of the Face.
To shave the mole flat is roughly $175 on the nose or $350 to excise it or punch graft it. It is so easy to get removed and all done with just a tiny pinprick of anesthesia which doesn't hurt and no down time. Sincerely,

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.
