Posted under Mole Removal q&a

Mole right cheek near laugh line. What is the best method of removal with minimal scarring? Will I develop keloid?

lugger1
I had my mole on the right cheek near my laugh line since I was younger. It has gotten bigger and more elevated as I get older. My Dermatologist suggested for me to see a Plastic Surgeon to get it remove for minimal scarring. I had a pimple like in my chest chest over 20 yrs ago had it taken out and biopsy which is benign, but I develop a Keloid. I'm Asian will I get a Keloid if I get my mole remove in my right side of my cheek? Pls, see attach photo.
