Is it ok to get my eyebrows waxed if I have a mole right in the middle of eyebrow? (photos)

Question

I've thought of getting this mole removed only for cosmetic reasons because I can't figure out how to shape this eyebrow with the mole . should I have it removed or will it cause hair loss. What would you recommed for this big and type of mole direct in the center of my eyebrow?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

if this mole is right in the middle of the brow it needs to be excised and surgically repaired so the hair is connected.  If lasered shaved or removed without brining the skin together there likely will be no hair later and you would need a transpalnt. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your questions.  You can have waxing performed and it will not injure your mole or skin.  As the mole is causing you cosmetic issues, it can be removed but will likely result in some hair loss to your eyebrow.  Definitely see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your surgical options at removal.

Thank you for your question.  It is okay to have your eyebrows waxed if there is a mole in the middle of the eyebrow.  If you desire to have the mole removed at some point I recommend seeing a dermatologist.
