Removal of facial moles, dermatologist vs plastic surgeon and costs to expect? (photo)

August 3, 2014
Asked By:Meirrac

I was referred to a plastic surgeon by a dermatologist to remove 2 facial moles. The derm charged $100 for the office visit. I called local plastic surgeons & none will do consults without charging $100+, with costs estimated at $1500+ for excision of both moles. I would like to meet the surgeon,know the procedure,scar size, recovery time, cost, etc. before walking in the door for removal. Derm or Plastic Surgeon? Are these costs normal for a small city in the South? Shaving vs Excision. Help.
