What is the Best Technique for Flat Brown Mole Removal on the Breast Region? (photo)
Hi, my name is Nicole and I have always been self conscious about my mole. Especially since it is on my chest/breast. I would like to have the least amount of scarring.

The area will be injected with a tiny amount of lidocaine, and the mole will literally be shaved off with a small scalpel, no sutures needed. If you follow proper post-care, i.e., keeping the area clean, moist, and free from scabs, you should have nothing left but maybe a tiny...
