I have 3 moles that I am considering having removed. I have had many moles removed before. Many of them have scarred, returned or the pigment has returned. I would like to avoid any of these from happening on my face and is the reason I want to see a plastic surgeon. The other moles I had previously removed were removed using the punch method and razorblade. The moles I dislike the most are the one on my lip, the one under my left eye and the one on the left side near my temple.
Answer: Why not see a Derm Surgeon who is also a Plastic Surgeon for your mole removals. Both derm surgeons and plastic surgeons can do nice mole removals but a doc who has both training is truly an expert. Get those 3 moles excised and sutured nicely followed by superficial dermabrasion to help blend marks.

Answer: Facial Plastic Surgeon This is not that complicated. A facial plastic surgeon will be able to remove the moles safely and with minimal scarring. You already know that any mole removal results in a scar of some type. The key is to have the scar be less visible than the mole. This is a quick office procedure.

Answer: Mole removal Benign moles do not need to be removed for medical reasons but can be removed for cosmetic reasons. A good approach to cosmetic removal of raised benign moles is to use a shave biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and debulk the lesion and then to treat the base with a precise ablative laser such as the Truespot CO2 laser. I have found that this successfully removes the vast majority of these lesions with minimal risk of scarring and recurrence. You should see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is well versed in cosmetic mole removal or you risk pigment recurrence and unsightly scarring.

Answer: Cosmetic Face Mole Removal Thanks for your questions and your nicely posted photos. You need to see an expert in cosmetic mole removal who is experienced in removing growths from the face. There is always a risk for scar, recurrence, pigment changes (darker/lighter/red) in the area treated, and possible need for additional procedures. But an expert should be able to remove these moles with minimal scarring and an appearance more pleasing than the moles currently. Importantly, my patients find that if the mole ares becomes flat, rather than raised, even a small scar can be easily concealed with make-up. Always you need to be diligent about avoiding the sun / proper use of sunblock for about 6 months after removal for the best results.
