Is it possible to remove a Cafe Au Lait birthmark on my 14 year old daughter's chest? (photo)

My daughter has a Cafe Au Lait birthmark on her chest that is exposed by her bathing suit top and makes her feel very self conscious. She doesn't wear most shirts because they show this "imperfection" as she calls it. Anyway, we went to a local dermatologist who said that a laser would most likely take care of the problem, but after going to a plastic surgeon that she referred us to, we discovered that there is a possibility that the birthmark will never come off. Do you think this is removable?
