Will my mole be removed by a dermatologist consultation or would it be done on a separate appointment with a plastic? (photos)

Question

Hello I had a concering mole on my leg, and have been referred to wait for an app to get it removed however I thought this could be moved at a dermatologist appointment, thankyou

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.
