Having a mole cut out of my forehead, will the scar be bad?

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.

I would suggest a second opinion, an A-T flap for a 1x1 cm mole is pretty aggressive and leaves a bigger scar long term in my opinion.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There are a number of ways to remove a mole.  The location,size and skin tone are very important considerations to review when planning a mole removal.  What is best for you can be determined by a photo consultation or even better an office consultation.  I have removed many forehead moles with before and after photos on this site.  Maybe these photos could help answer some of your questions.  Good luck!
