Asked By:allison84 in Lynchburg, Virginia

Hello, I have a facial mole that is moderate In width, but protrudes from my face more than I’d like. I don’t want to remove it completely because I like having a mole there. . I also don’t want any kind of scar as I already have some hypopigmented areas on face due to acne. My question is- can I debulk my mole by removing only the top half of my mole? I can not seem to get an answer online anywhere. Thank you in advance.
